The room was clean but the place needs some improvement. Bathroom is old, faucets needs replacement and the airconditioning need some cleaning as the smell coming out is nasty. There was no access for charging close to the bed. We just slept for few hours and check out early.

I knew the property wasn’t going to have any luxuries or be fancy. But the place can really improve on the cleaning. Besides having mismatching old furniture, the room wasn’t really clean. Bathroom had stains from a previous leak.

Don’t stay here unless you absolutely have no other choice. Don’t believe the photos online. Good thing we only stayed 1 night. The neighborhood is quiet. When we got there I went to the office which needs a much needed makeover. The gentleman at the counter must live there because office door was open to living. What a mess. Then we get to our room. It had a terrible order. Furniture is all old and chipped and mattress didn’t fit the bed frame. Tv wouldn’t turn on. The floor was very sticky as well as the tv control. Tub had parts broken, lamps had no lampshade. The front door looked as someone tried to get in with screwdriver all banged up. Walls looked as if they hadn’t been painted since it was built. There were big holes in baseboards and we didn’t have any towels. I would not recommend this motel! And it definitely way over priced at 179.00 a night. Don’t always believe the photos posted. Read all the reviews before you book.

This is a $60-$75/night property. I paid $250 for one night because of the location, some event going on, and holiday weekend which was ridiculous. I almost said screw the money I am not sleeping here. Will never be back. Would rather spend the ridiculous $600 a night at the Marriott.

Make sure when you come here you bring your own pillows. This is what you get when you find the cheapest hotel on the booking site don’t expect the embassy. But it’s a family run operation and the staff is super friendly. They makeup for any of the room issues.

The Establishment did not meet even the lowest of expectations especially for a single female Traveler. I felt very uncomfortable and ended up not staying. There was lots of deferred maintenance and I just did not feel comfortable staying. Before booking this hotel I would check in and see if they have cleaned things up.

I’m surprised that Expedia is listing this as one of the properties. I’ve been to third world country’s with better and cleaner accomodations. Room smelled like smoke, the bedspread had cigarette burn holes in them. The sheets looked like they haven’t been washed, wires sticking out of the walls and paint is peeling of the rooms. We checked in then checked out. It ruined our weekend stay.

Great place for a quick overnight stay for rest without paying outrages rates. Super dirty rooms and tiny parking lot. Room smelled like bleach the entire night. I loved the outside look of the hotel because it looks like a small motel in a small town kinda vibe but the inside is in terrible conditions. You really do get what you pay for so don’t expect a 5 star hotel for the price you pay.

Avoid this hotel

Dirty/filthy, in disrepair, unrelated businesses run out of hotel rooms, terrible parking spaces, no room service, no amenities, one light bulb in room, bed a firm spring hot point mattress, faucets malfunction, mold and dirt in bathroom, microwave so small can't pop a bag of popcorn, marginal area of town,
