This property is covered in a film of filth, destitution, and desperation. You can put up pretty dollar tree bling, but those won’t keep you from catching whatever transmittable disease is going around. You want toilet paper that should come standard? You will have to get it from a bullet proof slide out drawer. The description and pictures make you think you’re getting a mid level motel, but it’s a by-the-hour trash spot that I wouldn’t even offer our unhoused population as a spot Travelocity needs to take their listing down. Especially for them upcharging for using credit over cash.

Don't waste your time or money

Worse inn i ever stayed at. First off the room that we reserved wasnt availble, make sense of that. We had to down size from a kknd bed to a room with a full and twin size bed which we were charged extra then what was stated on on reservation. We get in the room and my wife wanted an extra pillow but was told no because the maid left at 4pm i guess it was to difficult for them to get it for us. Also the room had no toilet paper amd upon request was given attitude. Room was outdated and dirty. Also a bunch of shady people on the property. There was a sign in the room stating if you were caught having visitors or conversating with someone out side your room you would be fined and not get your despoit back.

It was a good stay and very convenient location. Staff was super friendly and everything was super clean. Only complaint; the bed was super hard like board hard which caused not the greatest sleep.
