This motel has made me very nervous to book online motels. The room was clean, but the blinds were broken and people walking by could see in your room. You had to look very close to see the room was actually clean as it absolutely needs a remodel. There was only a sheet on top of the bed, nothing but the gross bedspread to cover yourself while sleeping. I did ask the office for a sheet and they provided, so I could use that while sleeping. To be fair this is a place frequented by young kids going to party so any upgrades may not have a good RTO. Personally, not for me and my family but the location is SO good.

I spent 3.5 hrs trying to get a refund. This hotel should be condemned. I cannot believe Expedia promotes this hotel. Completely unsafe and unsanitary. Went through 5 rooms and still was gross. False advertising with nice pictures. Would've left but had 3 children and no where else to go. Stains on sheets, black mold in shower and bathroom, broken doors to bathroom and main door, reeked of cigarette smoke, manager was high and smelled of marijuana, no hot water in shower. Expedia was completely unhelpful in resolving solution to an acceptable manor.

Office was closed. So i checked in at the hotel next door. They gave me a key to a dirty room, clearly they didnt have the 2nd key because it was in the room. So i went back and asked for a clean room. Theres a pringle wrapper in the peep hole, blood on the wall, gross beds and someone put a walmart bag on the smoke detector. Unsafe isnt even the word.

Well, not the worst place I've ever been. That's about as positive as I can get here, though. Wait, another positive -- the bed wasn't crawling with bedbugs like other reviewers have mentioned. That's because they were all dead and the bug carcasses were just lying on the sheets. How about a cheap $10 rolling desk chair in the room as the only seat, but with one of the legs broken off? Or beds that have only bottom sheets and dust covers, and nothing else? Or a toilet that's so low to the ground, it was probably made for an elementary school? No support under one side of the shower/tub, so it feels like you're about to break through to the lower room? I guess you get what you pay for. Also, very noisy full-time residents. The office for the complex is closed and being used as a bedroom by someone. So, you have to walk to the neighboring one to check in and out. I could actually keep going on and on, but somehow, this WASN'T the worst place I've ever stayed in, so I'll skip telling you about the off-season pool filled with garbage and crime scene tape, or the permeating odor of cigarette smoke that probably will never leave my jacket. And yet, there's more. I'll just say it's not recommended.
