They demanded $100 cash to stay at the room and I didn't have it to give them. They didn't say nothing until after I booked it and then did not refund me. Also the front desk manager was rude and wouldn't refund me or put my card on hold in case of damages. Definitely never stay there again.

I rented the room for an overnight stay and it was good. Customer service was wonderful!
Room had a blanket in it that was thinner than paper on the bed. The bathroom sink was cracked. There were questionable stains on the walls in the bathroom. It’s cheap motel at its finest
