If I can give this place negative stars I would. The staff is rude and very unprofessional!! Me and my friend booked a room for the night, we checked in changed our clothes and caught a lyft to the casino, we were only at the motel no more than an hour, upon arriving back to the room 20 minutes before checkout time, we noticed the door to our room cracked. While we were gone someone entered our room and took my purse I had left sitting right on the bed and a few other items were also taken. When we notified the manager he became very agitated and started screaming at us and said we didn't close our door all the way so it's our fault. The cops were called and basically they told us this is a common occurrence with this motel and also with several other motels in the immediate area and they could not do anything about it because it's a civil matter. So please beware and save yourself the trouble and skip this low budget motel

As can be expected from a 2-star property. Really rough and noisy guests staying there. Host was helpful at check in and provided a “refurbished” room. I guess you get what you pay for.

Worst place I’ve been to.

Worst hotel I have ever set foot in. The office was the size of a broom closet and felt like a dmv kiosk. The room itself smelled terrible. Like year old rotting weed. The bathroom smelled worse!! The bed was terribly small. Idek what size it was but it was barely a full size if at all for 2 guests. The lights were terrible; barley working. I couldn’t fathom the thought of sitting on the bed let alone spending the night! There were people there chilling in their beds with the doors wide open and pile of beer cans on the floor like that was normal. Me and my partner are from run down cities and can and have dealt with run down places, we can just though it out. But we checked out no more than 3 minutes later after seeing that room! Not exaggerating.

I want to formally request a refund/discount due to unsafe and unsanitary conditions in my room. I’ve taken photos documenting the issues. The condition of the room does not match what was advertised, and I’ve even been required to move equipment myself, which is unacceptable.

Upon arriving, no one was at front desk. I had to call out for help and it took a few minutes for help to arrive. He was not friendly at all. I gave him my name and ID, he quickly told me that it would be extra for the two of us because the reservation was only for one. I told him I booked for two , he said I didn't do I have to pay 20 more. I said I can get a better place then this for an extra 20, ( flea bag) I didn't think of pulling up my email and showing him until much later. I told that I don't want the room he said no refund, but I bought the insurance for cancellation. I told him that. He didn't care. Probably be when I filed a claim to get my money back they said they need to talk with hotel owner first. I haven't been refunded yet. It's been 24 days. My itinerary states I made reservation for two . I don't know why it didn't show on hotels reservation, and still don't. Worst time I've experienced thru Expedia. The hotel was a dump. Not one car in parking lot, they needed money and they got for giving me no services at all. I do not recommend this fleabag motel. It's rated two stars for a reason, I should have known better.

Is horrible you can't call the thing hotel. The place is following down and they said that their not responsable if something happens to you also they don't provide room service so no cleaning in the room no towels the place is in poor conditions lots of drug addicts and they don't give you your money back so you get to stay even do if you don't want to stay. In the app the pictures look like a nice place they lied is expensive I could of go to a real hotel with that money I am hopping you guys do something about this place it should be closed

Bad smell, dirty, sink didn’t work, muggy room. Sketchy area and our window was shattered and only “fixed” with tape. If you use Expedia, don’t buy a protection stay plan because even if you have it they won’t offer you a refund. Staff was decent enough but overall a dirty hotel. It’s worth the extra money to go to a slightly more expensive place. It was gross to even breathe in the room

The room I was assigned was an unlabeled room directly next to the manager's office/home. The door was right in front of the bottom step of the stairs. The bed was encased in a bed bug containment sheet, the chair was uncomfortable, the bed was like a slab of wood, the pillows had no fluff, and the sheets had a black stain in the corner. The television was tiny and the speakers were quiet, there was no table or desk, and the refrigerator was disgusting. Furthermore, the bathroom was so cramped I almost couldn't use the toilet and the shower was either freezing cold or scalding hot. I wouldnt even recommend this to a homeless person.

Don’t use this place if u want a Clean place.

1. Started w a really rude reception claiming that I don’t have a reservation w 2 adult & 1 11 yrs old daughter, he demanded me to show him my reservation of a non smoking rm, thinking that I lied to him, when I showed him our reservation e-mail. He then gave us a totally different smoking room w a disgusting smell of smok which w 2 soft twin bed. 1. No entrance light, broken table lamp. 2. No shower light. 3. Sink don’t drain, we had to brush our teeth in the shower. 4. Floor was so dirty that all our socks were black after walking on it just to enter, that’s how they clean their floor we guess. 5. Wifi signal was sporadic at best. 6. Looks like a slump w unfinished ceiling, and cheap shoddy paint. 7. Upon checking out, you had to because they demanded a $20 (Cash) deposit. The lady was nice by asking how was my stay, I told her the above issues & she just gave me all kind of excuses to say we r sorry we had such an experience.. I would give Hotels.com do their due diligent on their vendors who lie, cheat and try every way to make their place sound like a 1st class experience while giving a slum Lord treatment. Don’t use this place if you want a clean place to stay, we arrived late tired w no choice but to bear the night, we checked out the 1st thing in the am. Never will we be back or recommend this place but to report to authority on its health hazard. A 0 star is not available otherwise it’ll be given..

Disappointed

The rooms looked nothing like the photos, it was in a bad area, trash and non clean rooms outdated, they also charged 20.00 deposit cash they emphasized, the put me in a handicap room. The smoke detector was gone with exposed wires, stained comforter, stained furniture, broken ac that didn’t work total of 6 tv channels, but said they had dish network, it was a TOTAL DISASTER
