As I entered the staff were not welcoming or friendly. The property is in shambles, both outside and inside. The outside is unkept, overgrown weeds. Trash cans overflowing. Inside is just as bad. It smells terrible, carpet is filthy and smells really bad. The cleaning staff were all foreigners, no English and unfriendly. I do not recommend this hotel and will never stay there again.

Unfortunately the only nice thing I have to say is that the hotel staff was polite. I checked in at 5:30 and by 8:00 we left. It reeked of marijuana, it looks like there was dried blood on the wall, it looked like a kid drew all over the wall. I found what appeared to be a bug in a towel that we had used that was hanging up and when we Google image searched the bug using our phone, it popped up as possible bedbug. So I took off the sheets and bedding, and the mattress underneath was filthy. We immediately left I gave the bug in a cup to the management, hoping that they would be able to get someone to identify it. Unfortunately, I didn't wanna have to take a risk so we had to go find a hotel last minute after driving all the way across from California. I'm hoping for a refund since I didn't even stay the night in the facility.

I stayed here for a music festival, so I wasn’t at the hotel that often. A great place to just sleep for the night in between adventures. Nothing too special.

Decent for the price

For the money it was a decent place, but you get what you pay for. It’s a little dingy and rundown but again for the price it wasn’t bad.

Trashcans full everywhere, hallways not vacuumed, they allow a guy to live in the parking lot and play his car stereo loud at all hours, cigarette butts and beer cans/bottles all over the outside of the property. Room was clean at least. I wouldn't recommend this place at all.
