A 1960's style motel with no amenities, not even in-room instant coffee, that doesn't appear to have been renovated since it was built.

What a dump.. dirty, it wouldnt take much to make this a nice place.. im sure adult movies are filmed there along with the occasional murder, looking at the cars in the lot tells you a lot.. the ONLY good thing.. awesome water pressure.

This motel was absolutely awful. Crack heads banging around outside all night. It was filty and run down to the point the whole place should be bulldosed. The only positive is that I didn't get bit by bedbugs.

This motel is very economical and as a result bare bones with respect to amenities. It was clean and functional has not been refurbished in decades. Our nonsmoking room was filled with smoke so we had to get another. It took me many phone calls/emails to get my money back for 2 unused nights after we checked out (to there credit, we did get our money back in full).

Make it a parking lot!

Motel was great in 1968, hasn’t been maintained. Curtains were pieces of shower curtains. No tissues provided, mold in the shower, only chair was a restaurant style, dresser drawer was broken, stains on tile floor, closet shelf was stained and dirty. For the price, I was robbed.

This property had an AC issue. Apparently for weeks they were not booking reservations. But they failed to notify me prior to my check in. Expedia, was not very helpful either. They let me know I would not have to pay for the room I didn’t get!

Did not feel safe or clean here

I knew this place was a mistake the first two seconds after entering the room. It smells like an old ashtray. It had no coffee maker. Our feet stuck to the floor. The live in tenants where partying and kept us up most of the time. This was both of our worst experience in renting a room anywhere. Shame on Hotels.com for not knowing who they put their name to.

Sadly the hotel had no air conditioning. They put a fan in the room but that really did not cut it The bed was dangerous as the metal frame sticks out at shin bone height and so very painful. The tv reception was next to no good and there was not any weather to effect the reception. No available power outlets for phone or watch and only 1 bedside table.

DO NOT STAY HERE.

The room was nothing short of grim. It looked like a bomb shelter, minus the charm. The mattress was thin, noisy, and slanted up in the middle by a giant spring. Next to the bed was a lamp with no bulb. The door was very flimsy and only had one small lock. I didn't know towels that bad even existed. There were no amenities other than the world's smallest bar of soap, and very dried up packets of shampoo/lotion. The "tv" was a small computer monitor in the middle of a huge wall. The owner tried to collect a $5 cash deposit "for the key," which seemed like a sick joke, given the state of things. This was not worth anything close to the $80 we paid.

The rooms were very dingy and felt unclean. The bed mattresses were in such bad condition that I could not sleep whole night and the highway noise was so high that I finally checked out the next day. The towels were like rags and property is very dilapidated and felt unsafe though the front desk staff were very nice and helpful. This should be dubbed as a very low budget hotel

The room was utterly deplorable. Snot on the wall, sticky floor, filthy towels with hair & water only dribbled out of the shower head. Returned the key immediately & left. Asked for a full refund…. Not confident they will do the right thing and give a refund. Found 1000% better lodging for not much more $
