Worst motel ever. Paid for 3 nights. Had to leave after the first.
Absolutely garbage, I contemplated sleeping in my truck. The room was nasty, unclean, broke fixtures… worst overpriced room I’ve stayed at in the last 20 years. This one took the cake.
We pulled up and the place is a mess!!!! Not like it showed in the pictures. False advertisement. I will never stay there!!!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
We had to furnish our own toilet paper and lightbulbs hold were patched with mouse trap. We got three towels for three days and went and got her own towels. There was no breakfast false advertisement
This property was terrible. The pictures shown for the property were nothing like how it is in person. Not even 24 hours into my stay walking into my room 2 rats ran across to under the bed. Front staff was rude and not helpful at all, he denied to provide a refund. Do not book here!! Pictures are misleading and the whole place itself is bad and dirty.
The room was terrible. There was no light for the bed room area, we had to use the sink area light. It was dirty and had water damage behind the mirror. The mattress didn't have a fitted sheet or mattress cover. I will never go here again.
do not come here! The service is terrible with the manager scamming people out on a deposit cash only. The rooms have broken windows and a broken tv too! The shower are filthy and bedding too
