I felt very uneasy from the moment I arrived at this motel. The picture you see make it look much nicer than it is. It is pretty old and very ran down. I was traveling with my husband and my sister but if I were alone or was a single mom with kids would have left immediately and found another place. The room was presentable and appeared to be have been cleaned. The AC was amazing. That is the best thing about the place, however, the actual unit needed to be cleaned. It was covered in dust and dirt. The door to our room appeared to have been kicked in at some point the damaged was very badly repaired. The mattress was very uncomfortable. There was a cockroach in our bathroom above the shower. The only good thing is that it did not move. It was in a position that we could not get a good angel to kill it so we just kept checking on it and it was in the same position every time we looked. It was still there the next morning. I think maybe it was dying so at least they have some good spray they are using. The pool did look very well maintained and clean. This was not worth $150.00 a night. This should not have cost more than $75.00 at most.

First of all, there were cigarette holes in my sheets, which were also stained, the room clearly is not sealed properly because the floor was sticky from condensation, the bath tub was dirty, the phone, which didn't work by the way, was dirty. There was no hair drier, no iron, not a single adult sized towel to be had, no mini shampoo or conditioner, the bed was so thin that when I sat on it I could feel every spring. I checked out pretty soon after checking in and went somewhere else. What a horrible experience. Also charging people $20 specifically in cash, to check in early, when your check in is at 3pm but the rooms are already ready is not only sketchy but honestly a scummy thing to do

We just needed the room to sleep & shower so we weren't expecting it to be perfect, however, there was not hot water, bright lights right outside the room that shine in the room all night. The curtains didn’t keep the brightness out. Stains on the mattress cover that showed through the white sheets. The mattress was like sleeping on springs. No type of cushion. Lastly, it looked like mold or layers of dirt & grime on the ac unit in the room.

The room had an overwhelming smell of bleach. There was one pillow and no blanket, only sheets. No toilet paper and no remote for the tv. Could not even connect with their wi-fi network. Asked for a different room but the rude “manager” said since I had been there for 5 minutes already (calling them about the missing toilet paper and remote) that I was not going to be moved. I left after that.
