this hotel needs a visit from the health department. its absolutely disgusting. mold, filth, extremely unsanitary. we walked into the room, took some pictures, and left. between the astounding amount of old cobwebs on the ceiling, to the mystery stains on the mattress cover, to so much more, we couldnt imagine even trying to sleep there. we'd have rather slept in the car at another location. save yourself from what we saw, and dont get a room here. if i could give this less than one star all around i would.
old cobwebs, and lots of them

hard to see the stains in the picture, but theyre there.
barely hanging on. and barely had any tp anyway!

Needs a lot of repair, mattress good

The hotel looked so beaten down we thought the hotel was closed and abandoned. It appears they suffered from the rain storm since ceiling tiles were on the lobby floor. Two lamps in the room did not function and the floor was sticky; plus the furniture was broken down. Actually, the mattress was fine and the sheets clean. It seemed a place where people a bit more on the down and out had to stay. We would have left except there was a big concert and all the other hotels were filled and it was late. We didn't even shower in the AM--just left quickly.

This motel is absolutely disgusting. If it werent for checking jn late for an early flight and being across from the airport, i would have walked out. I know, you get what you pay for, all i wanted was a clean bed and hot shower, but this place had neither. The bedding had burn holes, paint peeling off the wall, mildly warm water. Take my advice, spend a little extra $$ for cleanliness.

Shockingly bad. I’m not that fussy on a quick overnight stay I’m happy for a dated room but clean sheets. This place literally needs a bulldozer and start again. If I wasn’t so tired and it wasn’t 1am bc of flight delays I would have been out of there

Long hike to any ground floor room facing away from the street. Imagine my frustration after finally getting into the room to find the fire alarm beeping every 90 seconds (low batter) Another hike to frtont desk, back to room to collect my things, another hike to another room....with no water to the sink. BTW, thee is no breakfast bar and no coffee in the lobby. And this place$10/night more expensive than a Motel 6 up the street!

The dirtiest place i have ever laid my head. Sheets wete dirty, pillows stained, pillow cases stained, cigarette burns in comforter and sheets, floor dirty, shower curtain full of mold, dirty soap in shower with hair on it, walls, ceiling stained with looks like blood, but I certainly hope not. Shady people sitting outside all hours of the day. Absolutely disgusting and needless to stay i did not sleep real well. Asked Expedia to refund my purchase after checking in and they conveniently responded the evening I was supposed to check out. Highly recommend finding somewhere else to lay your head at night.
