Went to check in. Lobby closed and was supposed to check in across the road at motel 6. Got over there and according to her system the reservation was canceled. I didn’t cancel my stay. I had to redo my stay. It was late so it wouldn’t let me do the Friday night. Ended up having to stay at the motel 6 instead and it was disgusting

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was disgusting! It smelled. Worst place I have ever stayed. The floors were so dirty we had to ask for a refund. Wouldn't give one so they gave us another room where the floors were still dirty just not as dirty. We were informed they do not mop at all until someone complains. Sheets and comforters have stains everywhere! The toilet was wobbly. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. I will say that the front desk receptionist was literally the best ever! She deserves a raise and a better job. She's was the only thing fabulous about any of it!
