Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
They have bed bugs! I was attacked and have welts all over my body and im considering a lawsuit for pain and suffering and all the cleaning and fumigating i had to do. The motel didnt offer me another room, no refund and no help at all. I am astonished at the way i was treated and the fact that somone else is going to stay in that roomand have to go tthrough the same trauma. I should have put danger tape on the door when i left

Honestly a little sketchy and was hard to sleep lots of noise with thin walls if that makes sense it’s a motel at the end of the day but they also made me pay another fee when I arrived on top of what I payed through Expedia
