First off, on our way there, the Uber driver said he would not let his family stay there. The facility was so odd, old and just creepy. It was clean and the staff was friendly, but we booked a different hotel even after we paid for this one. The TV was literally cracked and broken, the windows were closed up, there was no way to lock the door from the inside. I could go on and on.

The ceilings had water damage. The light fixtures were falling out of the ceiling. The headboards were falling off the walls. There were people running around and doing mechanical work on their cars in the parking lot all night long. There were people running up and down the stairs all night long. The mop buckets were left in the hallway along with the wet mops on the carpet. One of the rooms smelled so heavily a bleach you could hardly breathe. The television set was turned on, but she couldn’t shut it off or turn the sound up and down. The linens on one of the beds were stained really bad.

It's a good place to sleep. We stayed there on three separate occasions during a two week period. There are what appears to be illicit activities going on in the area but these people never bothered any of the motel patrons. The staff do their best to keep them at bay and the police drive through now and them. Fine place to sleep if that's all you need.

They sold my room to another customer even though I already paid for it, with a reservation and therefore, they had two customers pay for the very same room doubling their revenue/money and they, or you, won't refund my money. I won't use them again and will not use Expedia again unless you get this honorably resolved. Pay attention to how much I've used your APP over the last two weeks and over the years.

This is a horrible hotel, a real dive. I was greeted at the reception with a woman looking up and saying “What?”. It was a horror show, I thought I was in a really bad movie that just kept getting worse. The bed was dirty, bathrooms were dirty and torn apart, the beds are old, it is dingy and smelly.

Our stay was nice and very near to downtime. But the hotel condition was not so good. It was not clean . But OK for stay. They even got us a new refrigerator on our request which was awesome. If they can clean a bit it would be 5 stars.
