Cheap and quiet.

It was a dark room with a fridge and microwave. Very good deal. It looks like it would be a wild place but its totally quiet at night.

Sorry for giving bad reviews. I booked through Expedia for the whole trip. When I check in, their computer down. They ask me if I want to stay, pay it with Master Card. She said not go through. She ask to pay cash. I did pay cash and stayed for a night. Next I checked my Master Card. Transaction went through. I ask for money back even shows her my email. She pretended don’t know English. Back to Canada, call them, no phones service no website. Please be careful with this motel. Thanks

In the pictures the room was adorable. But when we got here the clerk asked us for $10 cash. We asked him for what and he wouldnt tell us, and still charged me the full amount plus extra for one night. Then once we got the room it was depressing and sadly we hadto deal with roaches in the room as well!!! The walls were dirty, and curtains were ripped and had tape. The fridge wasnt working and you had to tape the microwave closed to keep the door shut. The black tape was even provided! So we paid over $80 for a depressing room.

Utterly disgusted

The service was terrible the attitude by the owner himself I was charged a $10 deposit for the room key and it was not return to me. This from what I could tell you that it was nothing more than a one-night stand Hotel or party Hotel. It was dirty stains running down the wall sheets that look like they had not been washed or head scene bleach when washed in at least 20 years and enough dirt under the beds to plant potatoes. The refrigerator was rested and the microwave made more noise than you can think of I would not recommend this place for anything and extremely disappointed that it is on hotels.com.

The property is nothing like described, the place is in terrible condition,lacking basing maintenance and decor. The management is plain rude and not helpful, they don't speak english or pretend like they don't. Room had holes in the walls,collapsing ceiling with holes, smelled like an ashtray,had patch of many different colors of paint, bathroom and tub look awful, refrigerator broken, the list goes on..........we didn't spend the night here, left without knowing if we will get our money back. On top of everything else the neighbourhood is a little sketchy and the individuals walking in and out of the property at least suspicious.
