Dirtiest motel I have ever stayed in. Dried feces, vomit and possibly blood on walls around toilet. The smell of wet shower and mold permeatedmtue air. It was well lit, quiet and in a good location. The bed was reasonably comfortable.

Old but ok

The room was clean it's just an old Motel I will say that if it's very quiet there and it was very very well lit outside I felt safe there, although I did find a bed bug in the bed and it did but my arm a few times so therefore we will not be staying there again.

It wasn’t a terrible place for a last minute stay, the staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is rundown and needs updating. Our room wasn’t dirty persay but it was dingy, the blanket had holes in it the walls had holes in them and the shower was mildewy and just bleh. It was ok for like a night we ended up leaving early though. Probably wouldn’t stay here again if I had other options.

I accidentally booked the wrong nights for another hotel, so I booked this place as a last resort thinking it’d be better than sleeping in my Suburban. I couldn’t have been more wrong.

The room was dirty like the switches for the lights were black around them with layers of old dirt. I killed one big in the bathroom. Sheets had stains on them. Was pretty sketchy over all. No one caused problems just not somewhere I'd stay again if I can help it.

This turned out to be the age old no tell motel. Most of the people staying there live in the motel long term. There was a lot of odd events and fights in the parking lot with the police involved.

Not bad

Wasn't bad for the price. Great location for the event I attended. Room was clean, bed was comfortable. Staff was friendly. Only thing I had an issue with was people screaming/slamming doors in the middle of the night and then again early AM. But it's not the hotel's fault if customers act that way.
