Sorriest Place I Have Ever Stayed.

This was the worst place I ever stayed. By the time I realized how bad it was - it was too late to book a room for the night anywhere within 50 miles - so, I was stuck there. Here's what really got me: when I pulled back the covers on the bed - I found two dead bedbugs and a live one still crawling around. I called down to the desk and told them to check me out that I would not stay - but that was before I tried and failed to find another room somewhere else. The front desk man did NOTHING to try and fix the situation - he didn't offer me another room or a discount or anything. In addition to the bugs, the entire hotel is rundown and shabby. The rooms appear to be clean at first glance - but, obviously that is deceiving. The carpets are worn, the sink in the bathroom was all scratched and marred - as if someone had taken a sharp instrument and scraped into the enameling. The fixtures are ancient. There is nothing exceptional about this place - so why did I book the room? In a word - cheap. However, it was not cheap enough to justify the filth and pitiful condition. I could not in good conscience recommend this to anyone - except someone who absolutely has to pinch pennies.

Bad, bad, bad. Run away!

Absolutely the worst motel I have ever stayed in. It is for sale! No other people staying there. Tub leaked all over the floor. All drains were slow. Discovered small bugs on the walls the next morning. Reserved for two nights, only stayed one. Why did we stay at all? It was late when we checked in and we were exhausted
