Clean cozy room with two beds. Definitely disappointed that this one didn’t have a coffee maker like the one bedroom we stayed in last time but other than that we were very satisfied. We had a stalker this time and the staff were right quick to get rid of her. Extremely helpful and appreciated!! I’ll be back

Do not knock this hotel. Needs work and you can tell they are making improvements. Room we stayed in bed was comfortable. Also of street light came in making it difficult to sleep if you sensitive to light. Over all was clean. Parking lot could be cleaning up. Eye sore of the looking like broken down vehicles. I understand people may live in hotels. As a guest I do not want to see it first hand knowing this what is happening around me. No breakfast was offered.

I wasn’t expecting anything fancy because it’s a cheap motel. I could get over the fact that the place was sketchy. The walls were peeling and damaged, the place reeked of cigarettes, and there was dirt all over the floor. What I could not get over was that on one bed, there was blood stains on the sheets and unidentified stains all over the side. On the other bed, there were burnt holes into the sheets, like from a cigarette or a lighter, and there was obvious water damage with mold on the boxspring. We stayed less than 15 minutes and then checked out demanding a refund and did not stay the night.

I stay in a wide variety of accommodations all around the world. And unfortunately, the only word I can really use to describe this day is yucky. It was me my husband and our adult daughter and we needed an overnight accommodation so we could be near an event. The room was dirty, there was mold in the bathroom, a huge gap where the AC was installed that let all of the outside in including noise and smoke and smells and cold. The toilet paper only had two sheets left on it when we got into the bathroom and the coffee machine didn’t work. The overall state of the room was just sort of light gross. The location is amazing. The staff was fine but there’s absolutely no way I would stay here again.
Stuff like this all over

Mold
Big gaps everywhere
