Categories

Cleanliness
2
Multiple reviews repeatedly describe filthy rooms: roaches in beds and bathrooms, stains, lingering smoke/musty smells, debris and nails in common areas — indicates very poor cleanliness.
Service
7.5
Mixed reports: some front-desk staff processed refunds and handled check-outs, while other staff were described as indifferent or rude and slow with documentation; inconsistent but with instances of helpfulness.
Location
7
Several mentions of poor exterior condition (pothole-filled parking lot, debris/roof in lot) that hurt first impressions; however guests still used it as a low-cost overnight stop so location utility is acceptable for budget travelers.
Room Quality
2.5
Rooms reported as very poor: stained bedding and furniture, leftover trash/food from prior guests, flickering/broken lights, rooms used as offices — overall low room quality.
Amenities
3
Amenity failures noted: AC not cooling or reaching bathroom, no hot water reported, dead/incorrect TV remotes, insufficient towels — amenities underperform expectations.
Value for Money
7.5
Multiple guests noted the hotel is very cheap and 'priced the way it is'; some found it acceptable for a brief, low-cost overnight stay (beds were reported comfortable by some).
Food and Beverage
3
On-site restaurant/food areas described as damaged (roof blown into parking lot) and unsanitary; reports of leftover food/drinks in rooms and general neglect of food areas.
Overall Experience
7.5
Overall mixed outcome: many severe cleanliness and room-quality problems led to cancellations and refunds, but some guests used it as a cheap 'sleep-and-go' solution and reported functioning basics (beds, TV) — net result is a polarized but compensatory overall score.

Pros:

This place is a disaster! In May, a windstorm blew the roof off the restaurant into the parking lot. It’s still there! Woman says they’re waiting for insurance. Total BS. Place is a mess. Debris and nails and dirt everywhere. Ac not on in room, which was terrible. Place was using room 103 as an office. They assigned me 118. Get there and batteries to remote are dead. Walk to get batteries. Turn on tv; it is stuck in a mode which needs the Samsung remote. Walked back to 103. She assigns me 117, and walks back with me. Need Samsung remote for volume. Directv to change chann. Moved my stuff from 118 to 117. Clerk absolutely could not have cared less about my check in. Didn’t say a word she didn’t have to. Floor was filthy. Ac did not reach bathroom. Not enough towels. Place is a total disaster.

CHEAP BUT OK
Pros:

The place is an absolute train wreck I don't know if they're in the middle of remodeling which I hope they sure are because the place has got to be 75 to 80 years old and looks at the park and lots of disaster there's more potholes there than there is clean pavement the room service surprisingly they give you every day the beds are comfortable and the TV works besides that don't expect anything else there's a reason why it's priced the way it is.

Pros:

This place was a red flag from start to finish. When we drove up to the entrance the parking lot was full of potholes. The lobby was unavailabl, trashed down outside was the first red flag, had to go to literally a room to check-in. As I was checking in I should’ve left when the person told me my name wasn’t popping up in the computer after booking 2 hours before I arrived. Finally after insisting to refresh I popped up on the computer checked in and went to see my room. The room smelled disgusting, was filthy, dirty, trashed, nasty when checking the restroom my kids see roaches all around that was the last string not to mention grasshoppers making noises and I don’t know what other filthy animals I didn’t see. I immediately asked for a refund and the person who checked me agreed to have cancel my stay and returned my money. After contacting Expedia for 3 days straight regarding my refund I was unsuccessful yet. Went back to have them give my some type of proof that states I didn’t stay here and the girl there name Annabelle was rude and was more interested in watching a movie and eating then to help me in any way shape or form she only gave me a sheet that says i checked in and out but nothing that says I did not stay there. DO NOT STAY HERE. This place need to be removed.

DEFINITELY A LAST RESORT
Pros:

As a single dad having run around Texas and the southern U.S. for Vball, Bball, Sftball tourneys, visits for family and friends and truck recoveries, I've stayed at my share of "budget" motels. This place was the worst, and it's not even close. First I'm informed they don't honor hotels.com reservation prices, so they can give me a letter approving a cancellation after which, I NEED to call hotels.com and arrange the refund, or I can pay the difference. Next, I receive a notice to sign stating if I cause problems or am loud and disruptive, I will be evicted with no refund Well it's 11:30pm, so I pay the difference and she hands me a key......and a tv remote. That was the best part of the stay. The room door looked like something akin to a cell door and it opened to the outside?? That was a first. The sheets were stained with I don't even want to know, the unlocked patio door took me 10 minutes to get locked and the TV had that "master hotel menu" across 1/2 the screen and I couldn't get rid of it for the life of me. Plenty of budget places in Alice, Tx, a couple have been shockingly nice and remodeled. THIS place should be call The Last Resort Motel.
