We had to switch 2 rooms due to, first, out of order toilet flush and second, out of order refrigerator (as we had perishable food with us that needed refrigeration). Fortuantely, the staff was very good and understood our urgency and gave us a better room per our requirement.

Would not recommend staying here for a while. I’ve stayed at many motels and have low expectations. But this was the first time I had to ask to switch rooms. First one had a bag of trash outside the door and the +30 flies inside room. Unfortunately, the room I was switched to had bed bugs and waking up a day later I’m covered in bites. Their motel also seems to have some longer term guests that play music all night.

If I could give this 0 stars and still give a rating I would. I have stayed here several years but last year we were told the facility had sold and was switching owners. I should have known the standard of the owners/managers as soon as I pulled in but we checked in anyway. The lobby had past due bills on the wall. On the white board behind the counter was a note that the dumpsters were locked and to call Waste Management and a list of rooms that needed the exterminator. There was an old empty fish tank next to the "coffee bar". We checked in anyway and went the room. Multiple shady/colorful characters had made their way outside while we were checking in and were lingering in the parking lot and balcony. We passed 2 doors that had been kicked in, several trash cans that were over flowing with garbage (evidence the dumpsters are probably truly locked), the key hole had been knocked back in the door of the room we were assigned and there were multiple dead bugs inside the room at the threshhold. We immediately went back to the lobby and asked for a full refund. I felt extremely unsafe and would not recommend this place ever again under the current owner or managers.

They didn’t have the room ready at 3pm, had to wait. They didn’t have the blanket washed so I slept without it inspite multiple requests. This is got to be the worst place ever. Hell even third world countries have better service than this. Totally amazed this type of place exists in the U.S.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room hadn't been cleaned (toilet would have needed a brush to remove solid waste, sticky floor, etc.). There are lots of flies. Over the night I killed at least 15 and that was far from the end of it. This is clearly not new because there were already several dead flies on the walls. Stains on bedsheets and other unappealing lack of cleanliness.

The TV did not work, 4 different people living there and working for the owner on occasion tried. Then at 9:21 pm, a guy opened our door, he had a master key. Luckily I flipped the metal stop on the door so I could see his face but he did not come in.

Everything was bad! The location is very seedy. The room had too many issues to list: it was dirty, the TV wasn't working, the floor was filthy, and the sheets needed dusting. I actually asked for a refund, because I was so upset with the room condition. Also, the staff were not responsive to the issues raised with them.
