I’ve unfortunately had to stay a few times, but they tell me a different deposit everytime. Sometimes it’s $20, sometimes it’s $40. Woman usually takes $20 and the man requires $40. Last time i spoke to the woman she was on facetime showing someone all of my information, i felt really uncomfortable. She noticed me looking, and she put the phone down. This time, that same window i saw her do that now is blocked off with a bunch of papers so you can’t see in. Location is kind of poor as far as who else is around. We had no soap or towels in our room, gentleman greeting us was rude. Toilet had leftovers from the previous person who stayed there, along with trash we found bedside in the drawers from previous guests as well. I honestly wouldn’t recommend this motel due to the several favors i’ve listed. Each time i give it a chance, it lets me down again. Bathrooms are moldy and old, AC makes a funky smell.

This place is a dump! Room 204 had small blood stains on the bed cover and hair in the mini fridge! I took pictures and asked for a different room. Room 205 had a newer bed cover but still hair in the mini fridge, mildew around the tub and stains in the bathtub. There was a drug addict shouting in the parking lot. A creepy guy kept walking by my room and would stare at me so I had to shut the curtain. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy! I did not feel safe, and I felt grossed out my entire stay. Keep shopping around for a better hotel!!!
