Pros:

I did not check in because the hotel lobby was locked and the man who greeted me required that I walk to a nearby gas station to use my credit card there to check in. The gas station at that time was a crime scene with numerous police cars, fire trucks, and ambulances present. Crime scene tape surrounded the property. Police were still there an hour later when I left the area and stayed at Motel 6 (which I booked through Expedia).

Roaches
Pros:

When I walked into the room it had a very bad smell in it. Roaches were everywhere. I had to go buy roach spray and a conform set for the bed. The water was brown. It was by far the worst place I've ever stayed in and I'll never even stay there again.

Pros:

Got to the room and it had roaches in the bed and on the walls in the bathroom. Sheets were stained on the bed and smelled like mold. Tried to get a refund for the stay and was denied. I took photos and videos. This place needs a health and safety review.

Pros:

The hotel is in need of roof repairs, the pool is non functioning and full of green water, the room looked nothing like the picture on the website. The hotel was generally quite run down.

My friend was concerned about the cleanliness of the bedding. We kept our shoes on while in the room and did not use the shower. The room had a coffee maker that was sitting on the floor under the bathroom sink.

The cash or cash app only type of payment should have been a red flag.

Pros:

The guy behind the desk was cool for check in. We went in the room the sheets and wash cloths were dirty asked for new ones had to go get them. The beds were stained and worn. Went to take a shower a roach came from behind the shower head. That’s all … umm I’m not sure if I would stay again ….

Pros:

This was a uniquely terrible hotel; if you have a need to stay in a gritty, trashed room to start your detective story, this is for you.

The room was messy, odd and concerning stains on everything, the ac was ripped off the wall, the mirror was torn off, bath room had a moldy towel just festering for ambiance, the fire detector was hanging from the ceiling. It would be shocking if that it had ever been cleaned.

Upside is you pay in cash, exclusively cash which is wild but i suppose no paper trail. I have stayed in tents in the army that were nicer and for sure cleaner.

Pros:

The bed although comfortable was held up by cinder blocks. No top sheet on the bed just the cover. 1 towel, my husband had to askfor towel, shampoo and soap. Although breakfast was offered they had no milk for the cereal, no batter for the waffles, no creamer.

Pros:

The property is run down inside and out. Roaches try to ambush you if you get up in the middle of the night to use the restroom. Perfect place to stay if you have time for a quick check up and tetanus shot upon check out.

Pros:

This isn’t a hotel, they have permanent quest and the only reason we got a room was the booking through Expedia. When we arrived on the door they had a sign for no rooms available. No towels in the room. You could also see lights on behind the walls and through cracks near the fixtures in the shower.

Beware
Pros:

The facility has changed ownership and has outside access to the rooms. People are standing outside, not a comfortable feeling when traveling alone. I don’t believe hotel.com is aware of this, this is not reflected in the hotel info on the booking site. The hotel looks abandoned, I passed it 3 times thinking it was not in service. There was also no link to the reservation I placed through hotels.com, I had to pay cash or cash app. It did have electricity and running water, very disappointed, not used to this standard of hospitality.

Complete dump!
Pros:

This property is by far the worst hotel, actually motel I’ve ever stayed. The exterior condition of the building and grounds looked like a movie set for The Walking Dead and the I terior of the room was no better. Cigarette burns on the furniture and bed spreads, red clay on the carpet, holes in the walls and the fire alarm was dangling from the ceiling, smoke stained like ceiling of an old bar. There were three cars in the parking lot with flat tires and broken windows. Needless to say, we didn’t feel terribly safe. At check in I was forced to pay cash; had I not booked the room online and been past the cancellation date, I’d have immediately driven away and booked a room at ANY other hotel. Hotels.com should eliminate this property from their listings as it’s not worthy of being called a hotel!

Scary
Pros:

I’ve stayed in old road side motels before. But this place was by far the scariest and dirtiest I’ve ever seen. Upon arriving, we were actually surprised it was open. It looked abandoned with derelict cars and what looked like homeless people squatting in the rooms.
