Cockroaches

There was a major cockroach infestation. I thought I could deal with it for one night until one of them crawled across my face when I was laying in bed. I ended up sleeping in my car and got a full refund the very next day.

Manager was very kind but…. The property was the worst I have seen. It was like I was in a 3rd world country slum. Room smelled of mold and smoke. As soon as my wife entered, she started to have gag reflex from the smell. We left the room immediately and just slept in the seats of our van. This property rents out weekly rooms (not a good thing).

Property had alot of transients, sitting around the property and a gentleman wearing an ankle tracker, and many people coming and going. Not they did anything wrong , just as young woman it made us feel very unsafe. Didn’t even walk to eat so we drove so we didn’t leave the vehicle there. No coffee in the room. Lady at the check in was very friendly. And our room was clean.

First, I'll say the manager, I think her name was Michelle, was extremely nice and when I called before arriving about questions I had she would call me back within minutes if I did not reach her directly. That said, I would avoid this property. The buildings were shabby looking. There were cobwebs In the landing, going up to our motel room. The windows were not clean. Our room had one circuit of outlets that did not work. The ceiling tiles and floor were stained, and the room was definitely a smoking room. The hotel was close to one of our destinations, but we did not feel safe to walk to our other destinations and drove instead. Surprisingly, this hotel was as expensive as other properties on our trip. So beware!

Room was clean, but the outside needed a lot of work, and people were smoking, a lot of people if my wife was with me, we would not have stayed but was by myself and I'm a big guy, had no cups, all the room had was a small bar of soap and small shampoo, and the clock did not work the first night, but the gal got me a different one. very small air unit so it was not that cool.

I wanted a cheap place to sleep, and that's what I got. The check-in was a friendly experience, the a/c was on, and the room was nice and cool upon entering. So I got what I essentially needed. But the place is in rough condition. The billboard out front indicated weekly rate options, and you can tell that this is a long stay motel for some. The decor is largely untouched and in its original state, with wood paneling in the bedroom and 50s era pink tiling in the bathroom. There was a drawer missing from a chest of drawers. Some outlets and light fixtures did not work. There was a hole in the sheet, exposing the mattress. There were stickers on the mirror, some of which were partially removed in a half-hearted attempt, while some were left untouched. There was an in-wall kleenex tissue holder that had an empty box. The room was clean, but dark with the wood paneling and limited lighting, and I chose not to assess the cleanliness too closely. We stayed a second night in the area and opted for a different place to stay. But I got some sleep in an air-conditioned room, which was most important.
