Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Walked into my room and the first thing a see is a cockroach. There were also brown stains on the bed. On top of that I got double charged for 2 nights when I only stayed one and it’s been impossible to get in contact with someone to help me figure this out. Would not stay here.

Cons: Management allows guests to hang clothes to dry outside of other guests doors. Bathroom looks like it's tilted. Lukewarm water, water backing up in the tub. Floors are disgusting. Mold? Shoddy construction work. No coffee maker. This is a very low budget Motel and should be demolished. Pros: Great water pressure. Clothes drying: I approached management and he said he saw nothing wrong with it, in fact the guests asked if he could hang the clothes there and management approved it, but if I was going to complain about it he would talk to the guest and have the clothes removed. Perfect Storm. Management gets to blame another guest for something that a guest shouldn't be doing in the first place except maybe in a third world country. Great way to get your tires slashed. This Motel is not recommended and I will not be staying here ever again.
