Well you’ll never be lonely with the cockroaches to keep you company. Don’t mind the blood on the bed sheets or curtains, they are just decoration. The spooge on the pillows and drapes are exquisite

Motel was in terrible shape, holes in the walls, bugs crawling everywhere and the reek a foul stench. The night was a nightmare of loud music and historical laughter. The bathroom had mold on the walls and tiles were missing. I would never stay at this motel.

The hotel was shabby and rundown. There were flies and roaches in the bathroom. The electric outlets didn't work. The WiFi didn't work. The upkeep was non-existent. They charged a $20 cash deposit for the key, but the office was closed at 7:30 am so I couldn't get the deposit back. I've been in economical (cheap) motels before. This one was by far the worst.

Please do not book this hotel it infested with roaches as well as other insects. The individuals in the office are swear hearts and very nice. But the place is in significant bad shape. I didn’t realize the place was infested with roaches until late night when the lights were off. I had to take pictures so that I can try and receive a refund. Please do not waste your money.

This place was completely disgusting. When I first walked in I had to kill a few roaches. I tried getting some rest as a had to get up early, but something woke me up. When I got up to turn the lights on, I saw multiple bedbugs crawling around. I talked with travelocity customer service (still waiting on refund and to hear back), and checked out within minutes as I could not stay any longer.
