Cleanliness was not a real thing here. Stains on the walls, shower, blankets, literally everywhere. The shower had a scream to it due to lack of pressure. The whole place felt so dirty it was nauseating but it was already so late that we couldn’t go somewhere else. Really hope they do better in the future because this is like every red roof I’ve been in. Horrible.

Not an enjoyable visit.

The $100 security deposit was a surprise - never had this at any hotel I have ever stayed at. I was nervous that it would not be canceled at checkout. The toilet almost overflowed the first time I flushed it and was afraid of flushing it again.The cooler did not keep my drinks cold and made a continuous running water sound (all night when I was trying to go to sleep!) Not a very enjoyable visit.

This was probably the worst motel I have stayed in. The front desk clerk was helpful and nice, but the room was disgusting. The bathroom had tiles falling down, the hairdryer was coming off the wall and there was shoe scuff marks all along the bottom of the wall. The tub didn't drain either and filled up while showering. A lot of maintenance is required.
