I stayed here because I needed a place since where I lived was having water/well issues. It was very inexpensive and gave me a place to shower. That’s what I needed. The place wasn’t that clean… my room had a lot of fruit flies that I could not find out where they came from. The floor wasn’t clean, the bottom of my feet would get instantly dirty when I removed my shoes. The food was the very nice person at the front desk! The bed only had the sheets and a comforter - no blanket… the person at the desk gave me and awesome thick blanket that made the bed comfortable. Outside was alright, except the pile up of trash at all the garbage cans over the weekend. I was there for 6 nights. I guess if you want your room cleaned during the time you stay, you have to request it. My room was never touched. First time at a hotel that did that.

Oh boy, I have never bailed on a hotel/motel in my entire life until now. I have stayed in old, out-of-date, and rustic places before, and that's all fine, but this place has problems. The room absolutely reeked of Marijuana, the arm rests on the chair I sat in were sticky, there was a stain on the bathroom counter that made me think someone left a rusty paint can on the counter for a long period of time, and there were multiple winged insects in the room. My husband killed 4 of them and saw more before we called it quits. Also, some of the large support columns for the walkway on the second floor were clearly breaking, which is TERRIFYING. Some of them had extra, smaller columns added around them to try and hold them up, so the property owner is clearly aware, but why not replace the actual large columns themselves? The nice man working in the front office was very police and agreed to refund us, so I have no complaints at all about the staff or about the service we received. I don't think I'm a terribly high-maintenance traveler, but I couldn't stay in this place.

This is hands down the worst I’ve ever stayed in. The pictures on hand when booked look nothing like the garbage room they put us in. Walking through the door we were transported back to 1970. The place is disgusting outside was to. Trash and beer cans at the bottom of the stairs. The mattress should have been discarded 20 years ago. It was hard as concrete and the bed squeaked everytime you twitched. The furniture was disgusting. Chairs were massively stained and dirty. Table felt like it hadn’t been wiped down. AC rattles like it gonna fall out of the wall. Toilet runs every 10 minutes all night long. Pay extra and stay elsewhere. I will never stay at this dump again. Take down the false pics and put up ones that actually look like what you’re renting. I also took pics and as soon as I can figure out how to post them, I will.

front desk staff was great, very kind. The people staying and milling around the hotel and surrounding area is sketchy, drug activity, possibly additional other illegal interaction occurring by people in the area. We had only been there 10 minutes and had a strong feeling our car would be stolen if we stayed over night due to the interest in the vehicle by the people milling around. Also, the room we were provided was nice and clean, but it was an adjoining room, and my husband was immediately able to gain entry to the connection room next door. Unnerving, as we then felt our room could not be secure if the opposite were true. A hard no on this location. Again, nice staff, terrible activity in the area and at the hotel itself. Does not recommend.

The room was filthy. The sheets had what looked like blood stains on them. The bedspread felt dirty just touching it. There were easily 25 flies flying around the room. The air conditioner did not work; the toilet did not flush. The carpet was awful. I would never recommend this property and the one good thing I can say is we did not stay and got our money back.
