We liked the convenience of the room as well as the price but it smelled like someone had smoked weed in it before we got there. Easy to get in and out of the room with lots of luggage.

There was an overwhelming Smokey smell to the room that left our clothes smelling of smoke. The walls were filthy. Beds were clean. Had it not been for a clean bed to sleep after a 13 hour day I would have left. No coffee maker. The staff however did call to make arrangements for an contactless after hours arrival which was appreciated.

Did not have the amenities advertised, especially no coffee maker in the room. Not enough linens or bottled water for the number of guests booked. Could hear neighbors through the walls. Not as much of a bargain as I thought.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Expedia ad terribly misleading. Picture showed rooms with knotty pine panelling and ceramic floors. Actual rooms are in a run down motel with ancient filthy carpet that reeks of cigarette smoke. Expedia ad claimed 24/7 front desk, but when I arrived I saw nothing but a phone number in the window. Called the number and was told to go to the unit and walk in the unlocked door to get the key. My car was the only one in the parking lot, not a soul in the rest of the place and no employees on site. Decided that I wouldn't be safe or comfortable there, so phoned the number and said I was checking out because the place was disgusting.

The ceiling fan/light flickered but never came on except once when I sat on the bed and it blazed gloriously only to darken once more. The bed lamp had to be plugged in to use as the switch was inoperable.

Room was very cute. Unfortunately somebody does a poor job cleaning. There is only one picnic table and no other options to sit outside. The one picnic table is covered in bird poop. Price was great and overall I would stay here again.

The tap water smells really bad, not even good to take a bath. I could not take bath. They just provided a 366 ml drinking water bottle and if the tap water is not drinkable small water bottle for the whole room is a big joke! Expedia should delist this property, i trusted Expedia for this one and this is not livable. I paid $83 for one person and could not even take a bath. This is unfair with guests!
