Ghetto like. Lacks maintenance. Pealing wall paper repaired with scotch tape. Stained towels and blood stained sheets. No place to plug electrical items in. Noisy electrical device turned on and off all night. We asked to be next to door because we had lots of luggage. We got put in the worst location. Keep looking!

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Bad: - This is an old, worn property. - Room 103 had been cleaned minimally, but there was still a child's sock and some trash on the floor, which hadn't been vacuumed. - One of 4 sleepers experienced bedbug bites, which caused some problems over the next day. - The air conditioner worked but was quite noisy. - Some towels were crusty from previous use (makeup?). When additional towels were requested at 5am they were provided, though communication was difficult due to a language barrier. - At 6:05 AM there was no sign of activity or breakfast preparation in the front office, so we left. Breakfast availability may have been scheduled for later, but I forgot to ask at check-in. I didn't see the breakfast time posted anywhere. - Given all the above, this was way too expensive. Good: - Wi-fi was strong and fast.

Stay here!

Fantastic overnight! Remote area with 2 gas stations, 2 fast food places and the Omega, a Mexican restaurant/bar with slots next door. Soundproof and spotless room, the bathroom was most impressive, even the floor shined! Clean everything…lobby, hallways, stairs, beds. Their housekeeping staff deserves 10 stars!!! Stay here!

The waffle maker was covered with built up black pancake batter and had not been cleaned forever. There was dirt in the corners of the bathroom, debris behind the bedside tables, the toilet seat had been painted over many chips, the tv stopped working, the carpet was dirty, the sheets were stained. I paid $92 for a room worth $25. Drive to the next town.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Ice machine was working well. Bed was comfy. Shower curtain - filthy. Bathtub drain - slow, mostly plugged. Grounds/property - trash, cigarette butts, knee-high grass, random military airplane in the lot. Window screens - many were loose or broken. AC - worked OK. Coffee - so bad I went to Burger King instead Weeds growing through the concrete. The envelope for the room key was from a Super 8 Hotel, not ABV inns. The notepads were Super 8, not ABV inns. The AC units had grills falling off the exterior of the building, found one in the landscaping Nightstand had Hindu religious material in the drawer. Fabric on the recliner was threadbare. Smoke alarm in a nearby room was chirping due to a dead battery. AC unit held together with Duct tape. Bathroom vent fan made a horrible grinding noise. Expedia should not promote substandard properties at any price. Ever.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We are very dissatisfied with this location. Our disatisfaction started with the condition of the room; lights didn't work (had to plug them in), loose toilet, no linens, soap and shampoo so clogged it wouldn't come out. This became small in comparison when we started noticing bed bugs. We notified the front desk but received zero concern to the matter. Not only did we end up sleeping in our truck but we're out money for the laundry to wash as a precaution, nee pillow, blanket etc.

The rear entrance had a key/card security lock but the latch was broken so anyone can get in. And the room extra security lock on the door ( the chain lock) was broken. It appeared as it was forced open at some point

It was a bedroom and shower for 2 nights. Two other travelers at the hotel during our two nights. Not a lot of draw to the area. Hotel was managed by a resident family. By resident I mean living at the hotel. Per the low nightly capacity it was not well kept.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This by far was the worst hotel experience we have ever had. I wasn’t expecting a five star resort but I was not prepared for what we saw. First the security bar was broke and when I requested another room I was told that the other room was the same way. Other room? There were only 4 cars in the parking lot! I was very uneasy but being we had no where else to stay we delt with it. Then we walk into the bathroom and there is black mold by the sink and in the corner by the tub. The shower curtain was absolutely DISCUSTUNG! Full of mold and mildew. I didn’t even want to shower! I thought that was as bad as it could get until the next morning I find a bed bug on the bed and one in the bathroom. I will be calling corporate and the health department to file a complaint.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The only thing I liked was the location. The room had a terrible bed, no blankets, smelled of smoke , even though advertised as non smoking. Shower had no pressure, shower curtain barely hanging on rod. Pillows on the bed very old and flat, smelled like smoke. No amount of febreeze helped. Trash behind desk where there weren’t enough plugs. Cords plugin to one outlet with some kind of extension cord. Glad it didn’t catch fire. Paid a going rate for an F rated room. Very disappointed. Some kind of powder all over bathroom wall, rusty faucets and no drain in tub. Disgusting. Sorry. Please do not stay here.

This place was disgusting and nearly deserted. The folks running the hotel look like children, because they are, the possible child labor situation going on there seems all to real. there was a little boy out front seemingly doing maintenance and the person that checked us in was not more than fifteen years old. we checked in and got to our room and proceeded to read horrific reviews about bugs and a myriad of other problems with the hotel. we promptly checked out within 15 mins after we checked in. it felt extremely unsafe and that folks were more or less living out of the hotel. the most sad point i want to make is the kids running the joint, they are kids and are having to do the arduous task of running a dilapidated hotel in the middle of nowhere. im not sure what the child labor laws are around here but i would not be surprised if they are in violation. They were perfectly friendly and nice, but no kid should ever have to be in charge like that.
