Don’t stay at this hotel.

I don’t even know where to start. The motel dose not have an elevator. The halls and doors have dirt all over them. Then you the room and bathroom are the same. The motel has 200+ rooms and one ice machine that worked in the whole building. Had to walk 10 miles to get ice. The beds are horrible to sleep in. Only half of the TV channels worked the rest were frozen. I would not stay here again and would not recommend it to anybody.

Staff were really friendly. However, the property is lacking. Very outdated. No elevator. Stairwell door to get to up/down was jammed so had to go around to other side in order to gain access up and down. Rooms were stale and being was old and worn. Air conditioning had difficulty keeping up.
