It's the poorest condition motel I've ever stayed
The people are nice, the rooms and the condition of the hotel is the worst i"ve ever stayed at. Think 1950's with no updates. Stuff works, but it's old dingy or brokent !

0 stars. Do not stay!
No stars! Do not stay here. Moldy, buggy, full of trash, and unsafe. Did not stay the night and was told we would get a refund, but they did not follow through. The hotel is more for long term residents, not tourists. Submitted complaint with hotel.com and will be contacting the BBB.

The manager was very nice said she just took over recently but the property was so dirty and disgusting! The door to our room was falling apart so there was a gap at the bottom, the AC unit was rigged to work I guess but didn't really work, the tv wouldn't turn off, the floors were so nasty they turned our socks black, there were dead bugs in the window seals, and the other guests sat outside being very loud until 2-3 am.

Gave my room away
I made a reservation on Sunday. When I arrived to check in Thursday evening, the desk clerk said there were no rooms and she was trying to find a comparable room somewhere else. I said not to bother and left.

I wasn't able to make our visit but the staff was very understanding and didn't charge us which was a life saver. I would definitely recommend staying somewhere owned by compassionate people! I'll definitely stay there our next trip.

This hotel is older. The parking lot has some potholes. A great effort has been put into making the room nice, and clean. The manager checked us in, brought us extra towels. The room was large and comfortable. The bathroom was also larger than most I've seen in a hotel, it was also clean.

Not a place to stay if your needing a late check i
Well we never got to stay. I made a reservation Saturday evening and then we tried checking in and no one ever came to the lobby to help us so we had to go to another hotel. So now to fight for a refund.
