The front desk lady was not friendly at all. The room was in very bad shape. The bathroom shower knob was off. There were bugs on the bathroom floor. Even the room floor was tilted. It made me think that the entire building maybe dangeroua and outdated. Try your best to skip this one!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was my worst stay at a lodging...ever. I don't expect anything close to perfection in a budget motel, but this place was bad in so many ways. The room is decrepit, with soft spots in the floor in multiple places. Bathroom floor tiles are broken and the toilet is loose. The tub is gross, with broken fixtures. The smoke alarm was not mounted, just sitting on a table. The door was difficult to close, and the deadbolt did not latch. I was exhausted from 500 miles of motorcycle riding through poor weather and should have looked more closely before I shrugged and used the shower and went to bed. I woke up a few hours later to the smell of vomit coming up from the mattress, apparently released by body heat. I stripped back the covers to find the sheets with multiple stains from feet and apparently blood. At this point it was 0230 in the morning and the prospect of trying to rouse the front desk and get moved was just too much to handle (communication was quite difficult on check-in). I waited a couple of hours and departed much earlier than I typically do while on two wheels. There is NOTHING I can recommend about this property. Avoid at all costs.
Even the sign is a disaster
What are these stains? I don't want to know
Just a hint at the atrocious bathroom. Don't walk here, the floor is soft and the toilet is loose.
