Worst Hotel stay ever

I checked in around 2:00PM but didn’t go to my room till later. The room was filthy with cigarette butts behind the nightstand and cigarette ashes in the nightstand drawer. The room stunk like dog urine and looked like dogs had been urinating on the wall. The carpet wasn’t even vacuumed. I called the front desk and he said the odor was from paint. I’m not stupid I know what paint smells like. He wouldn’t even let us change rooms

Do better

Not the best place to stay. Couldn’t use the shower because there was something black stuck in the tub. Also not sure what it was but there was a lot of banging noises throughout the night as if something metal was colliding with something else. It was hard to sleep. I was woke majority of the night and checked out at 7:30 am. I felt like I was cheated. The soap was so hard and small it didn’t work had to keep scrubbing it against the towel and it still didn’t suds up smh

Too tired after long drive and did not pay attention to the red flags. (1) Empty parking lot (2) Cash only (3) Room funk smell (4) Run down look of room. Most positive thing was the well lit parking lot since I was worried about my work truck getting broken into. Travel frequently and always budget minded which this place met but I still was pushing the limit for staying in run down motels.

I'm giving this a low rating because when I booked the room I booked it because it said pets were allowed. As soon as I got there, the front desk lady said their policies changed and only service animals are allowed. Please update your website or something because now I have to wait 5-7 business days for a refund since the room was prepaid

Reasonable price and value for overnight stay

If you only need a place to sleep for a few hours for a reasonable price and don’t need any amenities, this is a reasonable choice. Stayed just long enough to sleep a few hours. Staff were polite and said staff were available 24/7. First impression pulling in made me uneasy as it is very run down and had a vehicle parked with two flat tires. Libby has a window with a small gap to slide things in and a sign that said no refunds after 15 min, made me a little cautious. I asked to see the room first and he was great about allowing that. Bed Box springs were visibly stained but sheets were clean and the bathroom was clean. The window unit worked and kept the room a comfortable temperature. Had a microwave and mini fridge but we did not use. Had a chain on the door for security. Overall, the room was worn but functional for our needs. No sign of bugs. Price for the room was reasonable when we only stayed about 8 hours to sleep and back on the road.
