Let the Sun Shine In?

The room was clean upon entry. True, the room appeared to be freshly painted but it left me wondering what was hidden under the paint, (mold, water stains)considering what I saw next. I do have several concerns about the condition of the room. One, walking across the room toward the bathroom the floor, laminate, felt very spongy and uneven. The sponginess was likely due to a deteriorating subfloor. I wonder if the condition of the flooring was a direct result of the poor condition of the door and door frame. It appeared to me that during a heavy rainfall, water would easily flow into the room soaking the floor and sub flooring. During the day I took photos from inside the room with the lights off. As you can clearly see the door is not square within the frame, way too much sunshine (bugs) entering through the various gaps. Also, as indicated by the light shining through the lower left corner of the door, it has rusted out. I couldn't help but to wonder what types of little vermin (mice) came into the room day/night. This thought did not sleep very restful, just the thought of a mouse running across the bed was not pleasant. If the facility was eco-friendly I did not notice a bin in the room for recycling.

Solid motel

For the price this motel is exactly what we were looking for. It was cheap. The room was clean and the a/c was cold. Door locks worked. Area seemed safe and well lit. The breakfast was mostly bread however there were many good breakfast options nearby. I recommend Mr. J’s bagels. The staff were very friendly.

Avoid this place!

It was awful. I wasn’t allowed to cancel bc I booked it in hotels dot com according to the check in guy. I slept with a baseball bat my first night. I was so afraid. I got in late and didn’t realize how bad it was until the next day but I knew it wasn’t great. Very sketchy people in the parking lot the night I arrived. I paid for my 2nd night and then left literally in tears bc it was so awful. Between the door that had been clearly busted in and the barely attached hotel latch (door lock) and the police cars patrolling the parking lot and the guys running away when the cops pulled in, I left. I was able to find a room at another much nicer hotel. I hated that I had to pay for 2 hotel rooms but I would rather do that than not make it to check out the next morning. The door was barely attached, huge gaps around it. The lock was not secured to the door frame. The room itself was very dirty. There were stains on the sheets and towels. The tub / shower bar had been ripped out of the wall. The toilet was disgusting. There was so much dust covering everything. The floor was disgusting.

It’s cheap for a reason!

Air conditioning worked great. Water pressure was also good. That’s where the good ends… There was a significant gap between the door and the frame. The hotel latch had clearly been forced off the frame and reattached with tiny screws. I did not feel safe at all last night by myself. The sheets were stained. The towels were stained. The toilet was so tiny it belongs in a daycare bathroom. The shower bar was ripped off the shower wall - good thing the tub was so dingy that it wasn’t slippery and I didn’t need to use it. The shower head was so low that I had to duck to use it- I’m only 5’4”. When I woke up there was a layer of dust covering by everything! It was worth it to pay the cancellation fee for the 2nd night (the room rate) and go somewhere else.
