They denied my reservation because of use of a cane. I wss yold " we are denying you due to you being handicapped "
I was pleasantly surprised. I will most definitely stay here again when in the area. The bed was comfortable the AC worked, and it was clean. The staff in the office were attentive and friendly.
This had to been the dirtiest room I’ve ever been in. I booked 7 days and after the second day I had to go. Homeless people everywhere. Problem with that is they commit crimes to survive day to day. I find out later that the manager refuses to give me a refund for those unused days. “You have to talk to Expedia” was the excuse. I have the time to sit in a courtroom all day but most people don’t. I’ll make certain he pays 10 times that amount.

I stayed at this motel and the owner wasn’t nice at all. The attitude was cold, unwelcoming, and made the whole stay uncomfortable. Instead of basic hospitality, I got rudeness and zero effort to make guests feel respected. This isn’t the kind of place I’d return to or recommend to anyone.
