Really gross here, room reeked of cigarettes (we didn’t pick a smoking room) and was very dirty. Outside area in general was not presentable/ safe- enough to where we couldn’t go through with staying the night.

Extremely dirty hotel room. The bed did not have clean sheets. Wall was full of holes. Room lights were not working. The door separating my room to the other room was broken. Very sketchy people in the surrounding rooms and throughout the parking lot. There were stray dogs running around in the parking lot as well. Would avoid.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Was in the room for less than 2 hours and noticed small red bugs on the beds. Looked online and realized they were BED BUGS! We were not going to stay at this motel with it being infected with bed bugs. Showed a pic to office personnel and offered to show them the room(they refused to look). I was told I’d receive my $$$ back within 24-48hrs. It’s been 72 hrs and I’ve not received anything back. Will never consider staying at any properties associated with this place

You can do better!

The internet connection is slow and only works in the rooms closest to the office. My window is busted out and my toilet i backed up and i asked to change rooms and was given a hard time about it. Also I've been bitten by something like crazy

Great stay. Only issue is the smoke smell on the sheets. I could smell it clearly in the bedding. Made me wonder if sheets and bedding were changed before our areival. Could also be the age of the mattress.
