Place is on a busy highway and it’s difficult to pull into the facility without causing traffic. Whole place smells like strong detergent smell you would think it would be super clean but floors are not properly cleaned. Floors where dirty and bed cover has 3 cigarette bud burns.

Terrible Place - Do Not Stay Here

I wish I could give this place 0 stars. I left after 3 hours because the place was a pigsty and absolutely disgusting. Everything was dirty and the bed felt like it was going to snap in half the second I sat on it. Management is equally awful, as they would not even give me a partial refund. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!

I don’t leave 1 star reviews but this place is a hazard to public safety, I have a duty to warn people 😂 Entire place absolutely reeks, bugs and hair in the bed, walls are genuinely just filthy with all manner of unidentified stains. Bathroom was even worse, literal piles of dirt and bugs in the corners, lots of stains in the tub. Everything is filthy, moist, and smells horrible. Very noisy. Was unable to stay even one night. Met some roaches and rats who were on their way out, warned me it was unfit to stay there 😂
