Guest Reviews

• Carl (5/5): Well, it's cheap, central and has an AMAZING shower head :) - Since this motel hasn't ever been renovated the shower head was original and AMAZING! This motel hasn't seen many renovations at all since it was built likely in the 60's.
• Jason (1/5): Sleep in you car!!! - It was in the right town... that's it. Nothing else. Should've slept in my Jeep. Well, not a big fan of roaches or mice droppings. The smell of mold and old cigarettes were a definite issue (even though it was a "non-smoking" room). Oh, and someone else's hair left behind when I pulled the blankets back. Did I mention the numerous signs in the office that clearly state "ABSOLUTELY NO REFUNDS"?
• Analicia (1/5): Bad -
• Glore (3/5): Nice person at front desk - The hotel is a “fixer upper “ it has potential. At least someone is trying. Dirty carpet
• John (1/5): Won't stay here again - The staff The entire place is run down and in need of major repairs and updates.
• Tricia (8/5): We enjoyed our stay it was quiet and no one bothered us. - It was quiet Everything was good
• Teresa (1/5): Disgusting we didn’t even check in. - Not a thing!!! Will never stay there!! Dirty, air conditioning didn’t work and it was 103 and humid, linens were filthy We didn’t even check in they would not give us a refund or even work with us. Will never recommend them to anyone. It was a place that looked like something from a 3rd world country!!!!! Hateful people.
• James (4/5): Disappointing - Manager was very polite and helpful. Bed was nice and clean, TV was OK. Air Conditioner was OK. Outside of building looks like it was probably built in the 40's...the 1840's. Furniture was pathetic. heater in bathroom was rusted on the outside and filthy on the inside and probably hasn't worked in 50 years. Pretty sure I was the only person in a room that night.
• Jacob (1/5): Misery - I liked that there was parking right next to the room This was literally the most disgusting motel I have ever stayed at in my entire life. Dead cockroach in the shower. Smelled like cigarettes. Stained carpets. Moldy walls. Shower did not drain and the sink drained out straight onto the bathroom floor from the pipe underneath. I got there late so it was too late to find another place. Absolutely criminal the condition of this room. I’m not even high maintenance and can tolerate a bit of grime for a good price but this was literally sinful.
• Carlson (3/5): Never again. - The people/owners were very friendly. I had booked online and it was non refundable or I would not have stayed. Unfortunately it is very antiquated. It said it was non smoking but the bedspread had a cigarette burn in it. The carpet was hard and disgusting. Price too high for what you get.
• Victor (1/5): Absolutely disgusting. - Absolutely nothing since the initial phrase of disgusting 🤢 was used. Walked into our room and was met by a disgusting smell, the walls had filler where I would imagine holes had been added by previous guests possibly attempting to vent that disgusting smell. The sheets were full of stains, I did not roll down the top bedding to investigate the lower sheets or mattress, the two chairs at the table had obviously been cut with a knife or were so old they had torn by themselves, the floor in the toilet was disgusting along with the toilet and available sink. We left immediately and stayed at the Executive Inn just around the corner, far nicer and entirely comfortable, stay there and not at the Budget Inn. I’m absolutely surprised this place is on Booking.com and needs to be removed immediately. Photos not available since we were in too much of a hurry to leave.
• John (5/5): Passable - Nice owner, bed comfortable, AC works good, Smart TV , mini refrigerator, not bad at all for the price Bed cover has a few stains, pillows to soft
• Emilio (9/5): Superb - Firme bed The water pressure in the shower did not work right
• Doug (2/5): I didn't become diseased! - Inn is right off the highway. $73 fee & absolutely no amenities. Definitely a good training site for living in an apocalyptic disaster If you close your eyes & sleep, you'll never know you're in a craphole hotel Owner did not know I had a reservation, yelled repeatedly for no reason. Room had walls patched, falling apart & unpainted. Chair seats & backs broken & upholstery was actually rotted. Shower w/ previous occupants hair on walls & floor. Rusty, rusty, filthy sink, faucet & non-working heater . Bed mattress was comfy, sheets were appeared clean but ALL linens/bedding were threadbare & had sizeable stains or spotting. Very very old stained carpet that crunched when walked on
• Best (8/5): Very good -
• Posner (1/5): Bad - Old, smelly, decrepit
• Jay (3/5): Not worth the stop. - Sheets were clean. Bed was comfortable. The area was sketchy. The walls in the rooms were full of patch work that was unpainted. The television did not work. The carpet was dirty.
• Josh (9/5): Superb -
• Carla (10/5): Sweet sleep - Just needed a place to sleep for the night. The motel was cute on the outside. I liked the rock. Inside was clean. There was no ice or vending machines, but since we just wanted to sleep it was ok. The man’s and his wife were very friendly. Great place if no frills is needed. No ice machine
• Glenda (1/5): Don't go there - I have never stayed anywhere so disgusting before. - The man who checked us in was nice, but the room was disgustingly dirty - particularly the bathroom. Looked like it had NEVER been cleaned. There was roach poop all over the bathroom floor and in the shower. There was a live cock roach in the toilet bowl when we arrived, and not enough water pressure to flush him down. The place is very old, which did not bother me, but was not maintained at all. The toilet paper holder was dangling from the wall....thought it might fall off at any minute. The place was just incredibly filthy and in terrible disrepair. I would NEVER return.
• Ernestina (4/5): Never stay there again - It was nasty .staff was rude Room was dirty and needs alot of work
• Northcutt (8/5): Friendly staff, super quiet location and excellent value - Quiet, comfortable and terrific A/C! It’s a bit outdated
• Aikin (1/5): Roach motel - Nothing Every single thing about this place was trash
• John (1/5): Bad -
• Tiffany (1/5): Bad - N/a Everything I deserve a refund
• Charles (4/5): Disappointing - Location It was hot , small bathroom,bugs from the light outside coming inside the hotel and the floor is crusty and old , not enough towels in the shower for only for ,2 people but it was supposed to be for 3 people
• Due (9/5): Would stay there again - Did not have breakfast Bath tub and a higher toilet, some handicap safety rails
• Vladimir (3/5): Poor -
• Lawson (9/5): Superb -
• Angela (1/5): It sucked to epic proportions!!!!!! - Not one single thing worst place I have ever stayed in. Will never stay there again. I will risk sleeping in my vehicle. Didn't like anything about the place. The carpets were soaked from being shampooed I mean soupy wet. The staff was rude and couldn't speak English very well.
