Room seemed clean. It was a basic cheap but clean place. Only side note, maybe not for the kids hookers seemed to be using a room. Didn't bug me. They need to make a living too. Just not fir kids.

Stayed there for 3 days. Didn’t have any personal problems at all. I felt like my rental was safe at all times. Pros: Fridge, microwave, a/c, great hotel staff. Bed wasn't too hard nor too soft. Cons: Pillows were really flat. The towels were dirty once I arrived, but I quickly talked to the cleaning lady and she changed them right away. 1 out of 5 star hotels, I’d give it a 3.75

16, I counted 16 “exotic workers” in and out of the establishment if you’re catching my drift, but I mean that’s not on the establishment itself whatsoever. In a way it provided good entertainment to be honest, was basically on a first name basis with half of them. Saw the same one three times I said “damn busy day” and she was like “gotta get that bread” and dabbed me up. Washed my hands vigorously for an hour but 10/10 no joke

The hotel is actually really nice, spacious rooms nice bed and bathroom. However the staff seems a bit racially biased after my reservation I asked about another night and I was told no just off my looks and charged a 10 dollar fee just for leaving my room key in the room.

Impressive no frills motel

For a no frills motel, I was thoroughly impressed with this property. You can tell that the owner put a lot of work into modernizing the room. Parking was a breeze on the property. I will most definitely use them again.

It was close to where I wanted to be. And cheap. It’s in the hood, but reasonably safe. The management could have been friendlier. It’s best if you have a longtime resident to show you around. Still it was safe inside and reasonably quiet. You will certainly be able to soak up the local color there

The front desk lady began to yell at me as soon as I got there. She began to shout and ask how many people people and than began to yell 10 dollar. As soon as I walked in the room it smells terrible! Carpet ripped and walls super dirty. I left around 6 pm and came like at 12:00AM and me and my daughter were super tired so 1 hr into our sleep I began to feel super itchy so I turned on the lights and there ants and some cockroaches in the bed! I packed my stuff my stuff and had to sleep in the car cause no one was in the front desk. Next morning I called Expedia to explain what was going on and nothing was done. I had prepaid for 2 nights and did not get a refund for the one night that i was not there. Extremely unsanitary and the owners are extremely rude and disrespectful. Lost money, lost my sleep and ruined one night of of my vacation.

Wasn’t expecting much, but this place is pretty dirty. Floor trim was covered in stains, window sills were caked in dirt, and the bedding was questionable. Lady that runs the check in knows just enough English to yell a response back at me whenever I asked a question. Was not the least bit polite to me at all. The area and the guests that stay there are pretty sketchy. Good luck trying to get any sleep since this place is right next to a sports bar not to mention the loud bangs and car noise at night.
