I would not stay there. I went to check in. I told him I didn't want a dirty room soon as I opened the door. The floor was filthy with food. I went and pulled back to sheets and on the mattress you can see bedbugs. Hard to see in the photo, but it looks like pepper Do not stay there

Not impressed.

Very few options in the area, chose one online, regretted it. Price changed at the hotel, there was no microwave in the room, the air conditioner and refrigerator were turned off, and the room smelled like an abandoned building.

Place had not been vacuumed, wet towels behind the bathroom door floors were not washed, curtains did not cover window, no breakfast or coffee which it said was included, only one towel and wash cloth that looked fairly clean. Expedia should not be representing a place like this because now we do not want to use your services again either

Every inch of the room was filthy. The shower was disgusting and someone had left a surprise in the roilet which was clogged and it gets worse. The bedsheets had strands of hair all over stains on the sheets and BED BUGS. I cannot believe it is legal for the place to be open. I would sleep in my car or the ground before i would stay at this place. Dont waste your money!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Our room was no clean, the floors and the bathroom sink and the bedspreads. The towels were somewhat stained and threadbare. The bathmat was so stained we did not want to use it at all. Luckily because of former reviews we had brought our own towels as well as sleeping bags. For some reason the owner came in one day when we were gone and must have been upset that we were using one of his towels as the bathmat. He took all his towels and only left his stained bathmat. What the heck?! The only reason we stayed here was the solar eclipse and a lack of other choices. I'd suggest you steer clear AND that Orbitz take this property off its list.

Avoid

Where to start – from the phone by the office that didn’t work right (to call the owner, he will show up in 10 minutes), the garbage piled up around the buildings, the deadbolt that wouldn’t work, to the sand and dirt in the sheets, the space heater setting on a chair next to the bed or the toilet seat that wasn’t attached. But the best (worst?) had to be the frog perched on the rod as my wife was taking a shower. Yes, there was a live frog in the shower stall. See the pictures. DON’T STAY HERE. The best use for this motel would be target practice for a bulldozer.

I woke the owner up at midnight for our reservation.. noisy kids playing outside at midnight. Reeked of curry everywhere. A man was hiding in the dark outside our window of the room. Promptly left and reported to police that told me that this hotel is nothing but bad news. Needs to be burned down.

I’ve never seen the movie “Dark Water” but I know of the plot. Turning on the hot water in the shower gave off a bad order and washing off the soap I thought I had a lot of dirt on me but it turned out the water was really dirty. The ceiling tiles seemed to have had some water damage and/or mold but at least the bed was clean.
