Super nice people, older building but everything worked as it should and was very clean. Would be happy to stay there again on my next visit.
Nothing is likeable at this motel , I’m very disappointed with orbitz to have this smelly , outdated very unpleasant motel on their list of places to stay , . sad 😡 and disgusting to stay , very disappointed traveler, and I will also let people and family know about this motel😡
Shortly after checking in, we got word from our dog's babysitter that there was a terrible accident. We had to immediately check out, and was hoping they might refund our money. The hotel is extremely outdated, but good enough for a night's stay. Wish they had been more considerate of our emergency.
Old & not well kept. No coffee. Fire alarm woke me 3 times during the night, owners shrugged off as low battery, seemed unconcerned. AC was hard to reach to turn on
The room smelled like cigarette smoke. I left the door open to air it out and was asked to close the door. There was only 1 working outlet in the entire room. I was planning to do some work but couldn't because there wasn't an outlet to use! This is a dump! Do NOT stay here. I left after one night. When checking out, the guy left me there waiting. You cannot leave the office until they buzz the door to be unlocked! This was horrible!
In all of my years of traveling i have NEVER seen a more disgusting place as this motel
I don't even know how this place can remain open, but I assure you i will be contacting the health department. There is literally 5 different things plugged in to a 5 way plug with no surge protector . One door has no hinges on it so it is held shut with duck tape. The bathroom had not one drop of hot water, so no shower thank God we only stayed one night. You had no phone in your room to call front desk, no ice machine, soda machine did not work but they sold bottle water at front desk. The shower walls were not even wiped down, tiles missing in bathroom. All the stainless steel in the bathroom was rusted The microwave was rusted on the inside. The ceiling and the walls were peeling. Like I said I will be contacting the health department and demand this place be inspected.
DO NOT STAY AT THIS DUMP
