Horrible Experience – Do Not Stay Here! This was by far one of the worst places I’ve ever stayed. Everything in the room was filthy—the bathroom, the sheets, the coffee machine, the floor—literally everything was super dirty. The pictures online are completely misleading; this is not a hotel, it’s a rundown motel. To make matters worse, the entire room smelled strongly of weed from the moment we stepped in and lasted the entire night. It was unbearable. This is the second terrible experience I’ve had booking with Expedia, and I feel like my money was completely wasted. I would never stay here again or recommend it to anyone. Avoid this place at all costs!
