I had to to check out of my room 10-02-25 to go to the bank. Came back at check in time 1:30pm. They put me back in my same room that I checked out of. It was never cleaned and the sink was still leaking. Also when I paid at the property with cash they forgot to give me my change. So today they came to askif I was staying I told them I just was waiting for my friend to come bring my check. This was at 11:50 pm. Then at 1:00 they demanded I remove all of my things while they stood there and threatened to help me pull all of my things out. This is where I'm at now and have the money for my room but seriously debating to check back in.

Do Not Waste Your $!! They won't refund it!!!

This property shouldn't be on Hotels.com It is a run down motel for locals who are long term staying and comfortable in that environment where most know each other. I wouldn't advise bringing kids and staying there if you are traveling unless you already know the area. I was needing a place to sleep for the night and looked past the people hanging around, the smell of marijuana, clothes drying on rails and fence. As long as I was safe and room was ok, I would have been fine. Basically looked past things to be accepting of the fact it was the cheapest place and during the day, two roaches aren't THAT bad. What were my options to leave, anyways? It gets dark and the line was crossed. I had turned lights off to get into bed. When I got up to use the bathroom I find the Army of roaches scattering off and exploring my few items around the room/bathroom. My towel on the floor to not slip after bath, the clothes I had taken off to take shower on bathroom counter, the shorts and tennis shoes I took off to get into bed, and I'm freaking out cause my toothbrush is on counter, my bags are kinda open and I'm shaking all the loose items, trying to not hit anything while packing up my bags because it awakes them! Me and my stuff were ambushed!!!! I am not scared of roaches but I don't want them crawling on me or near my food or getting into my belongings and making theirself permanent residents for my bags and I and wherever we were headed. Follow your gut instinct when you get there!

Worst hotel I have EVER stayed in. When I pulled up I thought it was closed or abandoned! Dirty, cigarette holes in bedspread, apparent drug addicts hanging around, smell of urine in halls, I went to kill a roach by the a/C & 6 other roaches came out. Shower water VERY hard to regulate! If my wife was with me I would have kept on going even if it was paid for” I am going to sleep BUT putting things against the door to make a noise if someone tries to come in. I hope my car is there in the morning!!!
