Stay Away

Worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The room was not clean, full of allergens, smelled terrible, and was hot. One of my friends was coughing so much, he decided to just sleep in the car. If I could give this place 0 stars, i would.

Booked the cheapest room just to stay the night and be on my way in the morning. The hotel was incredibly quiet despite being so close to the train tracks thanks to the cinder block walls. A clean room, comfortable bed, and a hot shower. The breakfast selection was far better than some major chain hotels. I would definitely stay again.

There was no breakfast, at all, as advertised. Morning coffee was cold. No employee at the front desk in the morning. The air, outside the motel, stunk of asphalt from the nearby railroad tracks. The parking area was full of potholes. I would not stay there again.
