Bathroom was horrendously dirty, needed to wear sandals inside. Shower and sinks did not drain. Let them sit for 1/2 an hour then they’ll drain. Worst yet, hotels.com posted El Dorado motel for lower prices. The hotel did not like this and cancelled my reservation less than 24 hr before checkin. Hotel confirmed doing this upon arrival since I rebooked.

Room was dirty, my comforter had stains and the room looked like it’s been neglected for too long. The bathroom was remodeled, however the shower curtain probably could have used replacing a few years ago. If I hadn’t gotten in so late, I might not have stayed there because of how gross it was.

The room had black flecks on the sheets, and a huge yellow spot. Checked under the mattress and found a round fire alarm from the wall and a blue plastic cover of some sort. There was mold in the bathroom. Felt totally unsafe. I left after seeing this and was told no refunds. Never will I stay or recommend this place to anyone.

The most disgusting hotel I’ve ever stayed at or heard of . Needs to be condemned. It was absolutely filthy. They had to be made right in front of us because there was dirt in the other bed tried to give us another room and there was dirt there. Everything is broken falling apart, antiquated I can’t say enough bad things about this place I’m absolutely blown away. It exists.
