The room had black flecks on the sheets, and a huge yellow spot. Checked under the mattress and found a round fire alarm from the wall and a blue plastic cover of some sort. There was mold in the bathroom. Felt totally unsafe. I left after seeing this and was told no refunds. Never will I stay or recommend this place to anyone.

Updated room: large updated bathroom.snd shower. Comfortable bed. Quiet. Economical price. Near points of interest. Staff brought hairdryer as there was not one in the room. It worked well. Good towels. Microwave and refrigerator was a plus. The desk was also a plus. Comfortable bed. Warm heater that kept the room comfortable. Friendly personnel. Cons and/or needed areas of improvement: Nowhere to place clothes. No hooks, closet space, or drawers. No half or full mirrors. Nowhere to place makeup or shaving utensils in the bathroom as there was only a larger sink and no hooks/counter space. Shower pressure was very low and water would not get hot. It got slightly warm after running it for 10+ minutes.

The most disgusting hotel I’ve ever stayed at or heard of . Needs to be condemned. It was absolutely filthy. They had to be made right in front of us because there was dirt in the other bed tried to give us another room and there was dirt there. Everything is broken falling apart, antiquated I can’t say enough bad things about this place I’m absolutely blown away. It exists.

Eww

Check-in was quick and easy, and my only complaint there is that the office stank of cigarettes. I dropped my bags off in a room that’s about what you’d expect for the cheapest place in town, and all I needed was a bed, shower, and AC for the night. When I came back around 11:00 pm, I opened the shower and saw mildew. Also an opened complimentary shampoo bottle was discarded on the shower floor which indicates to me that the shower doesn’t get cleaned thoroughly between guests. I couldn’t get any hot water. When I leaned on the sink to test it out, the entire porcelain top shifted and I saw it wasn’t even attached! I went to the phone to call the office, but there was no labeled contact. I pulled up my hotel reservation, and again, no phone number. Saved by Google search, I called the office and was pleasantly surprised when Felicia (?) picked up. She came to my room immediately to confirm, and was fortunately able to move me to a room two doors down that had hot water. I appreciated her quick response. This shower was also mildewed. The inside of the fridge had a couple spills that no one wiped. Concerned, I inspected the bed. Fortunately, everything else looked okay, and I had a decent, quiet night’s sleep. They clearly don’t have a professional cleaner who knows how to clean and uses a checklist. I don’t need much, and don’t even mind if things are outdated, but cleanliness is mandatory in any lodgings. I paid $122 for this room, and will not stay there again.

We arrived at the property, and it was okay until we entered the room and saw that the white bed was yellow and the sheets were torn. We were then told that they were the “construction worker” sheets and were on there by mistake. The lady was nice but came back with what looked like sheets from another bed. We left after being there for at most five minutes. Do not go to this spot if you’re looking for a place to rest in a clean bed. Reached out by email to request a refund and no response. Do not go here!

Just don’t do it!

This was something from a David Lynch film. Pulling in you hear dueling banjos echoing from the rooms because the doors are all open with the live-in occupants either loitering on their “porches” smoking and staring or just sitting on their beds, staring and waiting for the inevitable FEDS to topple in. The gal at the desk was super friendly but that’s the o my positive about this place, but 5 minutes of positive interaction does not make up for one second spent in this disgusting place. We paid for 2 nights and dipped after one, knowing the second was nonrefundable. The room was beyond filthy, the bedding/linens were stained and literally falling apart and shredded. Walls so dirty you could see the diets smeared on them. Bathroom so grimy we didn’t even want to use it. I’m sure, well probably, at one time the towels provided were white…alas they are way past their prime and are a hazy shade of grey. My advice would be this: please take the $300 we spent, buy some paint, bleach, Mr. Clean magic erasers and new linens (there’s a Kohls in Sonora) and I bet you will still have enough to buy yourself dinner after the work is finished! Do something though, cuz this place should not be charging more than $50/night…then it would be expected.

The lady at the front desk was accommodating. Maybe we just didnt know what to expect from a motel. If you like hair free, stainfree sheets and towels, bring your own. Smells like cigarette smoked covered of with strong perfume smells. Window on our ground floor bathroom didnt close. The lady was accommodating enough to give us another room and brought "new/clean" sheets and blanket. The heat worked great. Didnt use the shower. The wheelchair room doesnt have a closet or space to hang/put things besides a desk. Maybe motels are just not for us. Thanks anyway
