The towels were so old and stained, the bed coverings were so old and dirty! There was dust all over the countertops. We thought we could stay but after about an hour we felt so disgusted we had to leave and rent a hotel down the road. Me and my wife have been married 26 years and we both agreed this was the worst place we have ever stayed!!!

The chain lock for the door was missing. There were pubic hairs in the toilet, dirt towels, and a stained bedspread. DO NOT STAY HERE. We were lived to a new room, still dirty towels, trash on the floor and open medicine packet on the dresser and a stained bedspread. This place is not a motel it’s a crackhouse. We refused to stay and went elsewhere. HORRIBLE AND NOT SAFE.

Worst room I’ve ever seen… not stayed in because we did not stay. Do not stay here!! Sleep in your car before you stay in this cigarette smoke , bedbug, piss covered sheet filled shack!!! Pics are nothing like the actual place. I think if I stayed the night I would’ve caught a disease from the used belly button ring laying in the room or the disgusting yellow pillows. Oh and don’t forget you won’t get a refund despite the grossness and the fact you didn’t stay in the room longer than 2 minutes.
