The guy at front desk couldn’t speak English and had to call the boss who said he’s be back in 30 min to check me in but they gave me a room to stay in. Walk in, smells like urine. Carpet floors are wet and filthy. Bed was damp. Remote to tv laying there had tape on it and didn’t work. I went to sit on bed and felt it was damp so go up and left immediately. Unbelievable how bad it was. I’ve stayed in some cheap hotels for quick sleep and shower but this place wasn’t worth $8 in Asia. Worst I e ever seen in all my years of traveling. I don’t complain. But wow. I just left. Keep the $40 and buy gasoline to blaze it.

Sketchiest place I’ve ever showered. Planning to stay here while husband was hospitalized, ended up just going there 1x/day to shower and sleeping in a recliner at the hospital. Heavy on the stale pot and cigarette smoke, nothing cleaned or wiped, same food spilled all over the counter in by the crusty microwave for days. Back doors propped open with rugs. Perfect if your looking for something sketchy.

Great value for the money

Nothing fancy. They had a pool, but it was drained. They had ice machine, which is always good that function. But it was clean and quiet and everything worked. It was $25 for our dog not $20 like we thought was advertised. The only negative I think would be all of the beer bottles caps in the parking lot.

Neighbor next door kept me awake all night yelling racial slurs and when we went to the desk to place a noise complaint the staff were anything but helpful plus the dirty bed sheets and towels and a wet spot on the floor and the entire place smells like cigarette smoke and the parking lot has more beer caps then it has grains of sand

This place should be condemned. Its about as sanitary and safe as a homeless encampment with all the characters to go with it. sleeping in my car in a better part of town was a much better option. Expedia claims refunds are up to hotel even though you book through them and hotel says they cant refund because you booked through expedia. Who's protecting the consumer from this? I really hope expedia does the right thing here because hotel worker will look at you with a baffled look and say in a confused tone..."You dont like your room? What is wrong with it?

Genuinely the most disgusting place I’ve ever stayed. Stains on everything, bugs in the shower, smelled like cigarettes, open outlets on the wall. Cigarette butts under the bed. Very surprised there were not bed begs, and both of us refused to shower or sit on the toilet after ten hours of driving straight. Absolutely a safety hazard, I would report this place if it wasn’t housing for people who couldn’t afford rent anywhere else. Shelter for the homeless is the only reason I’m not officially making it a problem. However, for anyone who is not homeless or doesn’t have somewhere better to stay, just sleep in your car. I promise it will be better than this place.

Absolutely terrible. Worst experience ever. Mattresses in the pool so couldn’t use. The rooms were absolutely filthy. No way I’d take my shoes off let alone sleep in the yellow tinged sheets. Worst hotel I’ve been to and refused to give our money back when we cancelled. Owner won’t reply to emails or phone calls. Save your money.

This place is a bio hazard. There were blood and urine stains on the mattresses and sheets. The phone had a weird crust on it. There was a dried blood pool around the corridor door. There was a bullet on the ground next to my car. We reserved 2 rooms, but after encountering the smell of rotting decay and the chemical smell of God knows what, we got our money back. Because there was a wrestling tournament in Fargo we couldn't find any accommodations at the last minuit, so we had to drive 2 more hours after driving 14 hours already. The people hanging around were the unsavory type and people were openly doing drugs in the parking lot and stair well. The window was broken in one room and in the other there was a smaller TV in front of a larger broken TV. Anywho, Do NOT stay here if you have an ounce of self respect. The only thing to help this place is to burn it down. Seriously, the department of health needs to shut this joint down.
