This property was soooo disgusting. I’m shocked Expedia is even listing this facility. The rooms were filthy, beddings included. The bathroom door wouldn’t even close properly. As soon as we checked in we decided to leave and find something else.

Literally so disgusting. The sheets were dirty, no fitted sheet on the bed, smelled overpowering like cleaning solution but somehow still smelled like sh!t. It was grimy and gross and I'm never doing that again.

Run down old motel , poor fitting sheets, rough tiny towels damaged furniture. A great value at $59 but it wasn’t.

The place is ok for what it is. It's not fancy, at all. A lot of ppl won't like it bc they will feel it's a trap hotel but it's honestly just for those who can't afford to stay at the Hilton or the Wyndham. Your stay is what you make it too bc maintenance is rude.

The property is in advanced state of disrepair. Holes in wall, missing fixtures, just really poor shape. BUT what is left is very clean, so kudos to the janitorial staff. Beds seemed new.

Filthy. Absolutley nothing was cleaned or made up after the previous occupant. We didnt even take a showers. The room next door blasted music/argued literally all night until we finally decided to leave right before the sun came up. No one cared. A literal brothel.
