We left and canceled our stay eithin 10 minutes of being there .was approached by crack heads and homeless befor we got out f our car.the hotels exteriors are falling off the building. The rooms look like a pay by hour hotel.and cleaned as such. The mattresses were on cot springs.rooms smelled like mold and smoke. We feel like we would need tetanus shots if we stayed there. Complete nastiness.

Office staff is nice. The hotel is dated. Room heater barely worked. But this is a $50/night hotel and what you get is a place to sleep. No frills. Tv is static on almost every channel.

The linens were clean as far as I could tell, carpet looked rough, overall didn't feel creepy. The bed has a solid spring non-box spring then mattress on top, like a kids bed might have had in the 1960's. Mini toilet but at least clean. My overall impression was America's Worst, for 95$ plus tax.

The room was dated. The linen was very thin and stained and/or dirty. To the point we had to get new ones. It was a no smoking room but it definitely had been smoked in. Of course it was 4-8 so big price gouge. Would not stay here again. The staff were pleasant.

Stay clear and drive to the next county

This hotel was awful. Smelled awful, the rooms were musty, holes in walls and doors. The weed smell pumches you in the face. I was booked this hotel because Hotels.com overbooked me from another hotel and this was the only option in the area. The hotel staff was polite and thats the only positive. I would NEVER stay here again. Words cannot describe how bad the rooms were. Not just one but two.

A good hotel that had gone BAD.

I have stayed at this hotel/motel before this stay, I will say this: this place has dramatically gone downhill, so much so that I WILL NOT STAY HERE AGAIN. The bedding was stained, and the sheets looked clean, but I don't know; the room required a good cleaning and repair. Bathroom door handle loose, broken parts on countertop in bathroom, toilet leaked water into the bowl. Main room, everything needs to be cleaned, walls were repaired but not completed, mismatched paint, paint on all moldings, carpet stained, and the door looked like it was kicked in once or twice and just pieced back together and not replaced the door jam. The only nice thing was the bed, except the thin comforter, my sister said it had some sort of track stains. As for the free Breakfast, it was almost nonexistent: coffee, a waffle Maker, ice, water, and not much else worth mentioning. I had To Make a collage of the first few photos to show the extent of the repairs and how rundown the room had become.
