This place is dirty, very unfriendly staff very dingy and dirty. Wanted to swim in the pool in the evening but they had no lights!!! This place should not be in business. Tried looking for a different place to stay as soon as I checked in but unfortunately unable to find a different location to stay. DO NOT stay at this motel!!!!!!!!!!

Booked the room and when we got there we were shocked that the place looked run down. Our room was closer to the back of the hotel. So we drove to the back to park and the outside door was broken so no need for a key. Our room was 4 rooms down on the first floor and when we walked into the room it was infested with cockroaches. We turned around and left immediately. The place looked like a rent by the week or month type of place. I immediately went back to the front desk to tell about the cockroaches and the lady was nonchalant about it. I would not recommend ever.

When we pulled up at the property, we saw people standing around outside(unclean) smoking and acting very weird. We didn’t feel safe at all and felt like we needed a shower for just walking in.

Mold filled room

The room smelled like a dirty old basement and it stayed so wet in the room that my 3 year grandson is bruised and scrapped from just walking and slipping on the damp fllors. Mold all over the bathroom walls and ceiling. Mold all around the window. Security lock on inside of the door was missing. The shower walls was covered in dirt and someone else’s hair

Have stayed in a lot of hotels. This is #1 WORST. Too much to list, I just knew I needed to LEAVE for somewhere else. Dirty everything, building in disrepair, dead bugs, loud cussing and yelling in adjoining/connected room with a flimsy door and did not feel safe or think that I would be able to sleep. Front desk was selling beer out is a fridge at the front desk and several people in the hallways were imbibing.
