There was a large trash can on the counter and a hole in the ceiling. Duct tape around the ac unit and a chuck of wood missing by the deadbolt. We didn't even stay an hour and there was no refund or room change offered. I would never stay there

No problems

A clean, no frills room that was comfortable and quiet. One level, park in front of your room. For the price, and just needing to sleep, I would definitely stay here again.

Disappointed

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The office smelled of HEAVY curry, the room was none smoking but cigarette burns on the floor and it smelled of cigarette smoke. The blanket on each of the bed had a hole in it. We wanted to hang up some clothes but NO place to hang them. The bathtub water drained VERY slowly to the point we could have taken a bath after the shower. A positive is the heat, small fridge and the TV worked.

The place was clean enough, but it's an old roadside motel. I was staying alone, so I went for the cheapest option. I would stay again , if I needed to.

Stay somewhere else!

I arrived to check in and was told that the person who had to check me in was not there. I was told in broken English to “go sit in car for half hour...” instead I went to eat and came back. Manager checked me in still very poor English. Room was dirty whole unit was not kept up. I’d rather sleep in a tent than go here again.

Don't stay here

I booked thru Expedia without knowing anything about this hotel. When we arrived the clerk wanted an additional $10.00 after I had pre-paid for the room. The room smelled so bad like urine. We could not stay in it. People were drinking beer outside their room. Families were living there and the children's toys were laying in front of the hotel room doors.
