Run down and understaffed is an understatement. The front office lady was nice but clearly overwhelmed by running the check-ins and trying to do housekeeping. Room wasn’t very clean, old nasty food in the fridge, stove was dirty and greasy, few dead roaches chilling on the floor. No towels or tp when checking in. Old beat down beds and furniture. Soft floors in a few spots. A/C unit not working well. Had to buy a fan at the local hardware to be comfortable, hope they can remodel and invest into better facilities soon.

Did not want to take shoes off while in the room. There was black mold on the ceiling in bathroom. The sheets did not fit the bed (my feet touched the mattress cover) and the pillows were like old used flat things.

I am currently in the process of hopefully working to contact the business owner for some issues with their system, but there were holes in the curtains and blankets, and a pill in a corner of the bathroom. The shower had no trim along the floor of the bathroom so likely there’s mold there. There were opened food containers of ice cream and orange juice in the fridge. One of the beds had sand on it. TV remote seem to have dead batteries and the TV and microwave plugged in with an extension cord that I’m guessing violates fire code.

It was a bit tricky to find the parking but after that of was smooth sailing! If you want somewhere relatively cheap, next to a dispensary, grocery store, multiple gas stations, and places to eat. Then this would be the place to go. You are also 10 minutes from the trinity river! Overall a great location.
