I got there and got ready and left right away. So I didn’t check anything until I got back I would say around 7pm the toilet seat was BLACK from dirt I wiped it down & the toilet paper I used was soooo dirty from cleaning the toilet seat when it came time to shower the towels had dried up blood as well and what looked to be urine stains … . The walls are thin & I could hear the family next door YELLING at their kid to go to sleep cussing at them. I would never ever stay there again . Don’t stay there tbh it is not worth it

They need to exterminate for roaches and clean the bathrooms better. Foundation to the rooms needs to be leveled better, holes and breaks can cause someone to get hurt. Last, need more parking spaces as they’re next to 3 bars.

They gave me a room with someone in it already at first. The bathroom had no toilet paper and not enough towels or wash clothes. The tv didn’t work. It was hooked up but still couldn’t watch it, not sure why but nobody was available to get it fixed at night time. The room was very hot when we went inside even, took hours to cool it down. Not to mention the lock was messed up on the door. One of the other rooms had the window knocked out of it as well.

Angry Bride

My experience was horrible! This was my honey..place smelt of mold. Rain storm came in and rained on us in bed from ceiling leaking. Bathroom had broken window and couldn't cool , rain was pouring from fixture very scary. Reported to owner in office and she was very rude, as I was willing to even pay one night just give me a refund of 2nd. Told me no all motels was having issues. In excusable considering I paid $300 for 2 nights. Also roaches and only had sheets for us to cover up with. No trash cans or shower towels. Just thank goodness it stormed morning we checked out cause I wouldn't ever recommend this place. Discusting!! Would like a refund of the hassle. If they knew room was this way should of just told me before taking my money so I could of tried finding something else if possible. Rude office workers , in caring about what we was going through.
