The hotel room wreaked of smoke the moment we opened the door. The shelves in the fridge were rusted. The bathroom fixtures were rusted and we opted not to shower. The hotel was so full of smoke we couldn't sleep. They need to make serious changes.

i have stay at this hotel a few times. But this time the room i had you couldn't turn the nob on the refrigerator because it was broken. the next morning when i woke up house keeping knock on the door to clean the room. Me and my boyfriend left for the day, i return a couple of hours later to find the door was a little open so i just thought house keeping was going to clean it.When i return around 5:30 the door was still open and my room wasn't clean at all. So i went to the front desk and let the man know , i ask for another room and he said no. So i told him to give me all the stuff to clean the room and i will do it myself.

*1/5 stars - Avoid this motel at all costs!* I recently had a disastrous experience at this motel after booking through Expedia. Upon arrival, I received a key card that didn't work, and the receptionist seemed skeptical when I reported the issue. After verifying the problem, he offered to move me to another room. However, the new room was a nightmare - it reeked of cigarette smoke, and the linens had burn holes. The receptionist claimed it was my assigned room, but I refused to stay there. When I asked for a non-smoking room with a king-sized bed, he demanded extra payment. The motel's policy, as explained by the receptionist, was that standard rooms are smoking rooms by default. The room's condition was unacceptable, with a worn-out bathroom and a terrible mattress. Needless to say, I won't be booking this motel again, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. If you value a clean and comfortable stay, look elsewhere.

Disgusting. Hair and live bugs on the towels. Drug deal observed in parking lot. Super sketchy area. We were warned by a local not to stay here. Wound up checking out an hour after checking in due to the unsafe area/disgusting conditions.
