Dirty, bugs, burn marks on curtains and sheets. Smelled of cigarettes. But in a pinch and for the price, about what you’d expect.

All was fine until I woke up with the next morning and my boyfriend had a cockroach crawl across his face. I asked for a refund and left and they only gave me half my money back. I would expect a full refund for something like that

The room I was out in looked like an old utility closest. It was small, cramped. The bed frame was oversized and I ended up cutting my shin on it. The furniture was make shift and racks for a storage closest. The tv didn’t work. There were cigarette burns and stain on all of the bedding. The shower had a large amount of hair, spider webs with dead cockroaches. There was a horrible stench, like a busted sewer pipes, right next to my room. The pictures advertised for the hotel did not resemble what I checked into in any way. Had I not been short on funds and it being later in the evening I would’ve left.

Roach city
We had to sleep in our car because there were roaches all over the room. Crawling in the bed and falling from the ceiling. It was awful.

Roaches
Been there twice. It is the cheapest room you can get. So low expectations. The first time - saw a roach before we left. We were close to the office though so maybe that helped, maybe they spray the office area.
This time - much further down the hall. Once I started walking down the hall I just kept walking faster to get out of the stinky hall. Smelled like a dog kennel. Room didn't smell. Sheets didn't look cleaned. Roaches found early on. Didn't spend the night.

This place should be torn down. The rooms were not cleaned, the trash can was dirty with someone else’s filth with no plastic bag. Bugs all over the place on bed, carpet and everything. Fried chicken left under the bed. I’m so glad I only stayed 1 night. I didn’t see no bed bugs but I’m sure the whole motel is infested. Crumbs all over the place. I would turn this motel into a migrant shelter that’s how disgusting this place is. Worst place I’ve stayed at in my life
