Avoid this inn, sanitation is poor, room smells terrible. You can hear footsteps and you hear people talking the next room. Heater & AC are antique crazy, peeled off paint, dirty toilet.
Broken windows on the outside, plywood on some others drug addicts all over and the room smelled like urine and vomit in addition to cheap cleaners. Cigarette burns on bathtub. Totally disgusting place.
Property and parking were filthy, cigarette butts lined the curbs. Smoke fumes permeated every where as we climbed an antiquated wooden staircase to the second floor. Doorkobs were damaged as well as doors themselves. No hot water and cold had no force .
Very bad service and management. I booked this place 4 weeks in advance and paid them, but when i came to property they said my booking was mistakes and they don't have room available. So last minute i have to booked another hotel and paid more to stay over night. Than for refund i have to call Expedia to reaolve my problem.
We didn't stay because it is what is shown in.the pictures. It is a run down place. Hope we will.get our refund. Thank you. This property information and pictures are misleading. It is totally run down place. Very shady looking full of garbage arround and people around are either drunk or high on something.
TV in room but no remote. Towels but tub had many stains and did not look clean, plus very poor lighting and tub/shower area was very dark. No WIFI yet it is advertised as offered, and room left me and my clothes smelling like smoke. I left a day early taking a loss on the fee paid.

Budget motel, so dont expect much. But if you just need a cheap place to sleep, this is the way to go.
