- Robert (3/5): Poor -
- Eichelberger (1/5): Bad -
- Sherwin (1/5): We left and booked another motel. We didn’t stay. We couldn’t. We just couldn’t. - Nothing. It’s dirty. Like filthy dirty. The walls are dirty. The bathroom is dirty. You won’t even dare put hour things anywhere. And the room smells like cigarette smoke!
- Ba (5/5): The price not cheap compared with o - Location near main road Rest room so dirty
- Verified traveler (6/5): Bugs - Bugs and roaches everywhere and no furniture in the rooms.
- Chris (2/5): - Unfortunately the property looked nothing like the pictures. It was also my first time seeing screw nails held up by duct tape as a coat rack in the bathroom. There was a whole in our front window. The bathroom smelled like freshly smoked meth or some chemical. And the front door wouldn’t lock. It was rough to even stand in the main room longer than a minute without the smell becoming over whelming. Informed the attendant but they told me their rooms were full and there was no other availability. I highly do not recommend this place stay open for business.
- Iran (2/5): - Very dirty bad neighborhood nasty horrible place to stay at
- Ronda (2/5): - Good stuff
- Verified traveler (2/5): WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR TO YOUR ROOM 😳😳😳 - Dirty ! Stains everywhere ! Door couldn’t close all the way ! Shower not working properly ! AC was semi-working at times ! The list goes on……… I should have taken photos, I was in shock 😳 . I rented this room because it was an emergency, and not thinking at all , and you can’t cancel or get your refund!
- Richard (1/5): Absolutely worst place ever. Didn’t stay a single night I couldn’t run out quick enough - Absolutely nothing. It was disgustingly gross. There were bugs and the sheets and bedding looked like it hadn’t been changed in months. The room stunk like dirt and funk. I can continue but thinking about it again is literally making me sick. We didn’t stay and left upon checking in. DO NOT STAY HERE.
- Leo (2/5): - Just sucks got woken up at 4am because people were outide yelling and racing cars
- Jason (2/5): - Do not stay here. It’s dirty, run down and in a dangerous neighborhood.
- Lazaro (5/5): Passable -
- lora (2/5): - Nothing about this place was likeable. Stain sheets & box spring cover..shower head was held together with clear tape, shower fixture wasn’t flushed to the wall, ac unit was missing vent cover, second room they offered us wasn’t better-coachroachs, mircowave was filthy dirty and looked rusty in areas. We ended up leaving- lost one night but were able to be refunded last two days. Wish I could post pictures I took!

- Konstantinos (6/5): - It is what it is
- Verified traveler (2/5): Worst motel I've ever been to - Too much bad experiences at this motel to summarize it properly. My key card was deactivated every night which meant I had to go to the office to get it fixed. If I had gotten back to my room after the office closed I'd be locked out for the night. There are homeless people and drug dealers hanging around the parking lot, I was even approached by people in the lot asking if I had any drugs to sell them.
The office gave someone else a key to my room and I was woken up one day to them trying to get in, if I hadn't had the deadbolt on they could have gotten in. That alone is an inexcusable invasion of my privacy.
The room was dirty. The walls were stained, trim pieces had been torn off around the sink and doors. The floor was sticky in some places and slippery in others. There was no blankets on the bed, just a thin sheet. The bed itself was uncomfortable. The TV didn't work and there was no furnishings in the room beyond the bed. No chairs or dressers or anything to unpack your bags onto, so the bed was always half taken by all my clothes since I refused to put them on the ground. There were bugs all over, especially in the bathroom.
There was not a single redeeming quality of this motel. I would pay money to not go there again.
