Safe your money, don’t stay here!

Our room was not very clean, dead bugs on the floor and squished bugs different places in the room. The toilet was not flushing well and over flowed. We had to clean most of it up, they never cleaned the shower that we had put the nasty towels from us soaking up the water. Manager was very rude and had an attitude the every time he was seen. Breakfast is only until 9:00, and he took stuff away right at 9:00 even if someone had just got in there to eat. Not enough food was offered since the guest in campers were offered breakfast too, not just the motel guest.
