This motel was absolutely awful. Crack heads banging around outside all night. It was filty and run down to the point the whole place should be bulldosed. The only positive is that I didn't get bit by bedbugs.

Liked: Cleanliness
This motel is very economical and as a result bare bones with respect to amenities. It was clean and functional has not been refurbished in decades. Our nonsmoking room was filled with smoke so we had to get another. It took me many phone calls/emails to get my money back for 2 unused nights after we checked out (to there credit, we did get our money back in full).

The rooms were very dingy and felt unclean. The bed mattresses were in such bad condition that I could not sleep whole night and the highway noise was so high that I finally checked out the next day. The towels were like rags and property is very dilapidated and felt unsafe though the front desk staff were very nice and helpful. This should be dubbed as a very low budget hotel

Terrible... No A/C had to go buy one, food splashes on the walls, both(Entery & Restroom)doors had smugges all over them, housekeeping needs to pay more attention to detail only had 4 stations to watch, you get hair towels instead of body towels to dry off with, bed is hard as hell couldn't even sleep, carpet was sticky when you walked on it, your shoes would stay behind. Last day I saw a roach crawling on the wall. I have work in the Motel/Hotel industry and I never left my property dirty & unkept. This place has gone to hell since the last time I stayed. I won't be going back.

Make it a parking lot!

Motel was great in 1968, hasn’t been maintained. Curtains were pieces of shower curtains. No tissues provided, mold in the shower, only chair was a restaurant style, dresser drawer was broken, stains on tile floor, closet shelf was stained and dirty. For the price, I was robbed.

Did not feel safe or clean here

I knew this place was a mistake the first two seconds after entering the room. It smells like an old ashtray. It had no coffee maker. Our feet stuck to the floor. The live in tenants where partying and kept us up most of the time. This was both of our worst experience in renting a room anywhere. Shame on Hotels.com for not knowing who they put their name to.

Ok for the price

Living area clean but not the kitchen shelves. Musty smell and no windows open but with an odor sachet I bought at the Dollar Store to absorb the smoker smell, in 4 days the room was much better. I would stay here again other than in summer due to no air conditioning. The owners are very nice and some guests were living there. Bicycles and big motorcycles were left outside with no locks etc. So it is a safe area and I was fine staying there alone. Being close to my car and on rhe first floor made hauling very easy. The place grew on me. A nice comfortable bed with clean sheets etc. No bed bugs as I saw others write.
