No power and mud on the floor. Unsafe location. Heavy drug use on site
Thankfully i was blessed to have my car break down here, and also blessed, a ride picked me and my car up the next day...I wanted to do a video on how awesome my room truly was, but it was an overall great place i am grateful to have been able to stay the night in(after i cleaned the room)
If you are looking for a D@$% Infested, pro.. hangout sleazy ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING place this is where you want to stay , It was so bad we drove through and left
We booked the hotel thinking it looked good on the outside. When we got there to check in, there were strangers to us walking around the outside of the facility or sitting on the stairs etc. The strangers looked dangerous to us and made us uncomfortable so we decided not to stay and went across the street to the Budget Inn.
This place should not be on your website it’s very dirty full of wierdos. I would not recommend this place to my worse enemy this place is horrible and scary….
