Should be closed. Do not stay there.

We did NoT stay. There was no bedding on the bed, there was no tv, the floor was horrible and money was not paid when we got there as submitted. They ran the card before we got there. When we called to confirm getting there, they told us the confirmation wasn’t complete, as they double booked and it was first come first serve.

Second to worst hotel stay ever. Bed was ok. Sheets were threadbare, rusty bathroom appliances, broken shower knob, ripped lampshade, broken curtains, brown water out of shower at first. It all felt a little shady. I’m pretty tolerant typically. Still slept fine.

No blow dryer, top door lock, comforter, or coffee maker. Lumpy bed and pillows. Loud, smelly, holy curtains, tub faucet broken and fell off while showering scalding us. Unavailable staff, took half hour to check in. No sign on building where our room was so couldn't find it. Would never stay here again.

The place is a dump! There was no remote for the tv. I was told they didnt have enough for all the rooms. My key didnt work, was told you have to have a differant key to reset lock. The property was unsafe. There were people all over the property sleeping and making lots of noise. I saw several hiding and drinking. Requested a non smoking room and it reaked of ciggeretts and weed. The shower barley worked. If the place burned down it would be an improvement!!!

If you are a non-smoker this motel is not for you. Hallways and rooms are like ashtrays. First room I was provided with had 2 tp holders ripped from wall and no toilet paper, plus the window unit did not work - at all. Second room did not have clean floor and smelled. It was so unsanitary that I didn't feel comfortable enough to lay on top of bed to just sleep. I left to stay at Holiday Inn Express about a block over.

Reservation was for 1 king non-smoking room. When we walked into the hallway to head to the room. There was a steong smell of smoke. The door to the room was ajar when we arrived to the room it was 2 small beds and the smell of smoke was even stronger in the room, which was very suprising as when we entered the building the stinch of smoke was sonstromg and the room was worse. I went to theboffice to report the issues and requsted a refund. Still awaiting a refund to card.

Online information showed this property with 2 stars. It should have a "Zero Star" rating! It is very poorly maintianed and it appears that a good portion of it is not usable. The room I was given smelled. It was also missing a TV remote, trash can, toilet paper amoing other things. Online info says they have 24-hour staff on duty, but is not correct. Old furniture was thrown out into the parking lot on the opposite side of the building from my room. I considered leaving the first night, but stayed and left the next morning in lieu of staying a second night. I had paid for two nights, but the office was not open when i left at 7:30 am. I called later and was told to leave a message and have not yet been called back. Worst place I have ever stayed!!!!

This is the worst place I have stayed at in my 57 years of life. First when I got there she' couldn't find my reservation and said I had to do another booking for more than my Expedia booking. She' then found it and gave me a room key. The hallways were full of trash and it was very noisy. I got to my room, which was at the end of the hall, and I was glad because I thought it might be less noisy there. This was at 8:00 at night. The door to the room was open already. I looked inside and there was bags of trash on the floor. I walked back outside to the front desk and explained the situation. She called someone and then gave me another room key. When I got to the room there was a man coming out and he said he just put pillows in the room and was going to get some towels. He came back and said they were running low on towels and gave me 1 bath towel, 1 washcloth and a floor mat. The bathroom door would not close. The bathroom counter stuck out further than the space for the door making it impossible to close. The toilet leaked water on the floor. The people in the room next door were yelling and fighting for hours and I could smell marijauna

My experience was bad the moment i parked the car. The pictures that are shown on the Expedia app or nothing like how it looks in person. It’s very disorganized, dirty looking and once I got into my room There were a lot of mosquitoes and flies flying on top of the bed. Cockroaches all over the floor.

Do not come here! This place is horrible. The hotel rooms are in terrible condition — the curtains are torn and stained, the window glass is broken and dirty, and there are roaches everywhere. I would have never come here if I had seen the reviews beforehand. I booked through Expedia because I was on a road trip. I informed the hotel that I would be arriving very late, around 3:30 a.m. The staff confirmed that their front desk is available 24 hours a day. However, when we arrived, there was no one at the front desk, so we left. There were a bunch of guys hanging around the hotel, clearly looking for trouble. One of them even passed close by to check us out. When we drove away from the place, these guys started chasing us — they followed us all the way to the next gas station. At that moment, we truly feared for our safety, and it is unclear what could have happened if we had stayed.

Pictures online do not match the current motel at all. The Blue Way Inn is closed and dilapidated. The sister motel next door is where I had to stay. I don’t normally read reviews but wish I had on this one. Socks in the refrigerator, dirty tub and microwave. Asked four times for room service to clean but never showed.

Do not stay here!

This is the only hotel that was so bad I've just walked out and found a new hotel. The locks on the door were broken, the microwave was gross, there was no toilet paper or towels and even though there were two sinks one had a cigarette in it! There wasn't even a phone in the room to get ahold of the front desk. My kids and I did not feel safe AT ALL, so I turned my key in and we left! For some reason the so isn't letting me post pictures, but I have pictures of how terrible it was.
