I booked 2 rooms here for 3 people through Expedia. The room said reserve for $0 and they’d pay at the counter when they arrived. One person paid at counter and didn’t receive military discount and my card was charged through Expedia for the other room and shouldn’t have been. One person did not stay in their room for the night and requested refund and the room was not clean and smelled like fish. There was not proper locking on that door and could be unlocked by anyone very easily. Super unsafe location and environment. We were issued a refund for one room but it went to the wrong person, not the individual who didn’t stay the night there. I wouldn’t recommend this place. Pay the extra money and stay at super 8 or whatever on the other side of I-70.

It looked falling apart. Small parking lot full of pick up trucks. The room was NOT as pictured on Expedia! It was so small I became claustrobobic...bare- bones. Small window in front, bathroom outdated. Motel in downtown on small lot. Needs lots of work. We couldn't stay there and told nothing they could do as a refund.
