Everything was clean like the carpet, the beds, the tub, the counter the microwave but, on the surface of the blow dryer looked a little dirty and used, but other than that, everything was great

- PAUL (2/5): Absolute worst motel I have ever rented, without exception!!!! - The only thing I liked was leaving, which I did a night early. I elected to nap in my truck rather than spend another night. I barely slept the night before because of the action in the room next to me. First, I am a seasoned traveler, having stayed in hotels and motels around the world. I am also not an expect-the-world-for-a-cheap-price type of guy. Secondly, I am blue collar, ride motorcycles in a club and have slept on the ground more times that I can remember. Lastly, I do shop value and rent on the basis of my trip. This was a quick 3 day trip to pick up a trailer and I just needed a place to hang my head. So, yes, I did go cheap for that reason, and I thought I knew what I rented. I was shocked when I arrived because it was nothing like pictured. It is also a transient motel, which is not in the description. It is a small motel, 1 building and the entire building wreaked. Stale smoke permeated the entire complex, different odors throughout the day, some pleasant, most not. Checking in was bizarre, and should have sent me running. There is a sign on the door to go around to the side door and when you do it is locked and they buzz you in, felt like I was entering a prison instead of a motel. This was every time you went to the office, no matter what time. I went out for a walk and was talking to a gentleman in wheel chair. I heard about his back, his legs, his knees and then he hit me up for $20 because he was short for his room. The entire complex is rundown and in need of repair. The room is old, stale and they were in need of new towels and bedding10 years ago. It was like drying up and sleeping on paper. There is no room makeup, just a couple of towels thrown on the bureau. I could go on but it is time to forget this place and Booking.com should also.

I reserved room for 4 night stay and from the moment I walked in room I regretted it. this was a disappointing stay – Safety and Cleanliness Concerns
I had a very frustrating and disappointing experience during my stay. Multiple electrical outlets in the room were either faulty or loose, creating both inconvenience and serious safety concerns. The microwave malfunctioned — it powered off mid-use and locked my food inside, leaving me unable to retrieve it. I was forced to purchase additional food because of this.
To make matters worse, the air conditioning unit was extremely loud and rattled throughout the night, making it difficult to get any proper rest. The final straw was discovering a roach in the bathroom — completely unacceptable from a cleanliness standpoint.
This stay fell far below basic expectations for comfort, safety, and hygiene. I would not recommend this hotel unless these issues are addressed and resolved.

- Peachfuzz (2/5): Good reviews are fake - That it was close to my destination It was subpar on cleaning,appearance and service. They dropped towels off the second day but didn't clean the room. Don't use the wifi!!!!!
- Mersadies (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sergei (5/5): Passable -
- Harvey (8/5): Very good - Price and location Felt a little sketchy. But the parking lot was lit up like daylight.
- Michael (1/5): Terrible - Felt very unsafe. Noticed people sitting in there vehicles in the parking lot - drugs??? As we were loading the car in the morning, there were gunshots fired and a man running into the hotel with a gun. VERY Scarry.
- Richard (6/5): Ok for a night only. - 1st room smelled of smoke. I asked for non smoking room when I booked. Room next to mine was smoking pot and smell seeped into mine. Hotel gave me a new room which was better but that room had a musty smell. The hotel clerk was very nice though.
- Hallingquest (9/5): Superb - Clean Good price
- Dale (8/5): Very good -
- Dominick (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jessica (1/5): Horrible - The owner charged a deposit when he normally does not. He forbid us to have guest when someone came to pick us up or drop us off. He was walking in the parking lot monitoring what we did and told us we cannot come back because we had guest over one guest for 30 minutes That brought us food Staff nasty rooms
- Duncan (9/5): Superb - Around the toilet the housekeeper missed cleaning thoroughly otherwise everything else was good.
- Tiffany (6/5): Pleasant -
- William (5/5): Passable - Found a roach in the fridge not cool at all

- Anset (3/5): Poor - Nothing Location. Microwave didn’t work. Tile and carpet dirty. Tv didn’t work.
- Christopher (10/5): Stay vigilant - It was very quiet , clean , no bugs or anything crazy and I’m picky were I stay I was in 208 and didn’t have no problems, everything worked. Area , drug dealers outside and people asking you for lighters or drugs. I could be undercover cop or Feds they would’ve never known because they were plain clothes too. People was dealing outside and staring very hard very weird but nobody messed with my car or anything. Other than that. It’s a recommendable place just stay vigilant at all times.

- Angela (6/5): Pleasant -
- Jade (8/5): Very good -
- Katie (6/5): - Room was what is expected at this price point and location.
One thing to note - we booked a one king bed room that was said to sleep 3. In the photo there was an upholstered chair next to the bed which we assumed was a single fold out bed. Nope! Thankfully, as we were 2 adults and a 7 year old we all shared the bed with no issues, but the story would have been very different if it was 3 adults!
- Pridgen (9/5): Superb - Everything was in good shape... No complaints
- Patrick (5/5): Passable -
- Jennifer (8/5): Very good -
- Hope (8/5): Very good -
- Sperry (7/5): Good - None. Stay was pleasant
- Jenniffer (1/5): Bad - Camera in the parking lot Everything..,dirty, prostitutes, drugs.....awful
- William (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kimbre (3/5): Poor -
- MD ATIKUR (8/5): - good experience
- Nikolay (7/5): Not fancy, but run by people who understand the needs of travelers. Clean, wifi, working desk, quiet - It was the only one hotel in Columbia that didn't rise the price taking advantage on refugees from flood affected areas in a neighboring state. Kudos for that! Neighboring area isn't a place you want to walk around. Nothing scary or unsafe, just nothing to do. Which is expected from a motel sharped out for an overnight stay.
