Guest Reviews

• Krishna Murthy (2/5): - We booked the room 104 on May 2nd, 2025. Upon checking in that evening, we were extremely disappointed with the condition of the room. The floor was sticky, as though something had been spilled and not cleaned properly. The bathroom was in a particularly unhygienic state, the toilet had no cover and was clearly not cleaned. The bedsheets appeared dirty, and the towels were stained with black marks and had an unpleasant odor. The room does not look like the pictures on the website at all. Overall, our stay was very disappointing due to the lack of basic cleanliness and hygiene, which we expect as a minimum standard. We would like a refund if possible.

• Endrik (2/5): - It was very dirty and the microwave looked liked it exploded from the inside.
• Kaleab (2/5): - My experience is very bad they refuse me room when i show up even though i showed them my booking thru the app.
• Heather (6/5): - There was many instances of old dried snot on the wals, did not like that i had to go to the office and have them unlock my door each time. I'm sure tho, they've had a chance to fix this
• Marcos (10/5): - Great
• Marlene (10/5): Wonderful - Based on your description that the hotel was great and comfortable, here is a sample review:"I recently stayed at this hotel and had a wonderful experience. The hotel was truly great and provided a comfortable stay. The room was spacious and well-appointed, the bed was cozy, and the amenities were top-notch. The staff were friendly and attentive, making me feel welcome throughout my stay. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great and comfortable place to stay."
• Diana (2/5): - This is the worst motel I’ve ever been too. I’ve came from out of town and just wanted to rest. The whole room is disgusting. The bed sheets were really dirty and there were hairs all over the bed you can tell the bedsheets haven’t been changed
• Humberto (10/5): - I like that the process is easy and basic amenities are decent despite the conditions.
• Dez (10/5): - Good hotel quite and owner was nice
• Humberto (10/5): - Check in was complicated due to a misunderstanding on my behalf. Other than that, good.
• Brian (2/5): - Toilet leaked water had too clean the mess dirty really dirty had too disinfect everything dirty sheets
• Sebastian (2/5): - Roaches
• Edwin (10/5): - I frequently stay at this motel while traveling for work, and I have nothing but positive things to say about it. I adore the setting. My stay is always enjoyable, and the staff at the motel is great to work with. Very accommodating, and booking is simple. Five stars for sure!!
• Jose (6/5): - I don't all the hotels and motels that I have stayed in all the hotels and motels I would say this one was OK. Aside from there being blood in the shower and under the faucet by the wall it wasn't such a bad stay we had our privacy , or any interruptions whatsoever during our stay at the local eateries are amazing and so convenient to walk to
• Felipe (8/5): Ok place to stay. - It was an ok experience even thought i was given a room near the street and heard traffic. Just need a little improvement.
• Humberto (10/5): - It is what it is. WiFi was pretty decent. No connectivity issues. Television did its job without issues. Shower curtains couldn’t keep water from spilling towards sides. Some extra towels would have been nice to have.
• Anthony (2/5): - The people running the office tried scamming me. Saying I didn't have anything from expedia and wanted to charge me more. Even with showing them my booking from expedia. They ended finally accepted the expedia booking but wanted to round up to the nearest dollar in their favor. The room didn't have hot water.
• Cristobal (10/5): - El lugar es lo escencial para pasar la noche, la limpieza podría decir que podría mejorar ya que había algunas superficies muy sucias, por lo que aconsejó lleve consigo algunas wipes desinfectantes, con eso estaría más confortable en cuestión de limpieza.
• Anwar (4/5): - No wifi. There was a TV, no picture tho. The staff charged me $25 deposit and refunded only $20, they won’t give me a reasonable explanation. They actually didn’t say much in English. There was this beeping outside my window the whole night. Roaches come out at night. My bed was LOUD. Pillows were dirty/smelly.
• Rosa (2/5): - The bed super durty
• Kay (6/5): - Found roaches, not enough towels or supplies, bed all dirty.
• Enrique (2/5): - Expedia showed that there was a room available, but the front desk attendant claimed they were full. He was extremely rude and offered no explanation.
• raul (10/5): - good calm motel
• raul (10/5): - nice
• Lily (6/5): - It smelled like cigarettes in the room on the bed as well had to buy a Febreze bottle
• Joseph (2/5): Horrible horrible horrible - It was the most disgusting place I had ever seen in my life, there was brown stuff all over the bathroom walls, shower, shower curtain, and sink. I don’t know if it had anything to do with the roaches they are infested with but it it’s my working. The shower head was broken off and management just handed out an old shower head and told me to put that on as of it’s my job. Putting it on was unsuccessful because the broken one that was on was screwed on so tight.
• Dean John (8/5): - I liked it
• Jared (2/5): Cockroaches and crappy customer service - The staff was EXTREMELY RUDE , PREJUDICE, RACIST, ANDNALL AROUND HUST A BAD PERSON PERIOD. the first night I was here the hot water wasn’t working properly so around 1am mind you the advertisement for the room says “24hr front desk” however when i went to notify him of the issue he screamed at me told me I was stupid and walked away. On the second day of my stay I went up to pay for the room at 11 am and I rang the bell and rang the bell with no answer so I went back to my room hence it was 90° outside. On the second night of my stay I stared to see COCKROACHES all over it literally was so disturbing that I had to physically leave the premises that night and stay else where. (See attached photos)

• Verified traveler (4/5): - The location was good. Very small room, shower heads where dirty! The rooms had a bad smell.
• Verified traveler (2/5): The absolute worst hotel - First off I didn’t stay the employee on night shift was a complete jerk he demanded I change my room to a single bed when I needed two he then demanded I pay in cash when I told him I’m no longer going to stay he then followed me to my vehicle demanding a cash payment
• khadaeja (2/5): - The place is so nasty Woke up and there was little worms all over the bathroom floor
• Ahsley (2/5): Who doesn't take cards these days - Could not check in, would not take credit card
• Vero (4/5): - The toilet wouldnt flush all the way. The walls are extremely thin, you can hear EVERYTHING everyone else was doing and saying. The traffic was also very easy to hear. The staff is a bit rude despite things being their fault, not very friendly.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - For a one night stay it’s not to bad. The room was boring and you only get 6 tv stations. The bed wasn’t to comfy but over all for the price it wasn’t to bad staff was super nice helped us out.
