Decent room for the price. Could have been cleaner. Very loud guests are night. My husband asked for a pillow (3 provided for a king bed)and the front desk never provided one, he had to track down housekeeping. They only provide one towel and washcloth and do not replace or refill toiletries. We had small used bottles left for us by previous guest. Full size fridge and microwave was nice.

This “hotel” was absolutely disgraceful. It shouldn’t even be open for business. Expedia should not even list this as a property. Check in was at 3pm didn’t get in till 630pm. Get to hotel ceiling tile is falling out of the entrance. Looks abandoned. Gets into room absolutely foul flour is sticky nothing is clean shower is covered in dirt and backing up dirty water. Cigarette burns all over the place. Furniture looks like it was picked up on the side of the road. We had to go buy our own bleach and wipes to clean the place to be able to shower. Walked around in shoes the whole stay. Lock to door was broken off. I have so many pictures of this awful motel hotel.

This property has so many things wrong with it, it should NOT be part of Expedia's line up, it is that bad, nowhere close to ANYone's standards. Plus the employees LIE. I asked and was told breakfast was 6-9 but in fact there was ZERO breakfast even though it's stated they have a "full" breakfast on the website. No entrance light switch. Light switches that do nothing. No hot water in shower.No lip on shower edge so the water just pours on the floor. No fan cover in one bathroom and couldn't turn that jet engine sounding fan off. Other bath had no fan at all and a toilet that runs. No shelves at all in full size fridge. Not one dresser, not one hanger, zero place and zero way to hang anything. TV said it has apps but there were none. Construction going on in the back of the hotel, but honestly it appears they "redid" (if you can call it that) the room we were in, but horribly. You cannot just add a new sink to on an old counter with rusted doorframes and call it a "redo". Marks all over the doors. The tub was full of paint drops. But when the water never got hot it didn't matter because i couldn't get in it! There was no clear marked entrance to the place. The front entrance looked closed, it was so dark inside, that we drove around the whole building looking for it. The pavement around the whole hotel was full of so many huge and deep potholes. Unbelievable.
