DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!+

This place is a dump. The pictures are very misleading. I thought this would be a retro style motel but in actuality it needs to be torn down. People creeping all hours of the night, smoke detectors going off at 1am, sounds of people having sex when you walk out of the room. We were afraid to get in the bed for fear of bed bugs. The front desk attendant had to be woken up for us to check in bc no checkins after 10pm. They never answered the phone to verify my reservation. We will NEVER stay here again and I strongly suggest anyone thinking about staying here to reconsider.

The property was in terrible condition. The grounds were filthy and covered in graffiti, the water wasn’t running, and the pool was closed. The surrounding area felt unsafe, with loud neighbors making noise all night, and it was clearly in a rough neighborhood. Overall, it was an unpleasant and uncomfortable experience.
