Pros:

There was a swastika or possibly a manji on the office door, painted in what looked like red paint. The place looked pretty rough, and no one was in the office, so I did not open the door or try to check in. I went to another hotel. Out of curiosity, I went back and checked the office door for the next two days, and the symbol was still there. I pre-paid, so I reached out to Expedia for a refund. I have photos, but I am not sure how to post them.

I didn't like that It wasn't no hot water.. The toilet wasn't clean inside of it and the bathtub wasn't clean also and the towels had spots on it. And the pillows had spots on it. Overall, I did like that Dollar General was right there;to buy what we needed to buy. Hotel just needs to be upgraded.remodel. last visit 2 yrs.ago was good only stayed over night. Ut yet hitel was close to the college. Bed was comfy

The motel that looks like a abandoned building..
Pros:

This was the worst motel I ever seen I couldn’t believe how dirty and disgusting this room was it should be closed down.. The top blanket was filthy the white sheets had mold on it and stains. The room was dirty. The walls were dirty. The ceiling was dirty. You would get sick if you stay the night in this place. I ran out of this motel less than five minutes of seeing the room.. (real talk)

DO NOT GO HERE
Pros:

it was horrible… i’m a 21 year old kid i don’t need things to be super clean and nice, but this place resembles a crack house/motel. From stained sheets and stained chairs to a smear of bloody boogers on the wall. Along with the carpet being sticky and bathroom being rusted out. Looked like it had not been cleaned by any means.

(locals had warned me of bed bugs, and i ended up sleeping in my car)

The staff is rude and incompetent, they told me that it was “impossible” that i made a booking online when i showed up for check in. I drove 7 hours to get there and then try to tell me that i didn’t have a room even though my card had already been charged.

Save yourself the time and don’t go here.

Pros:

I didn’t even end up sleeping here the room was so dirty. The bathroom sink had soap scum and toothpaste spittle from a previous person all over it. The towels were covered in black hair, and there were PUBES on the toilet seat. There was also someone’s old used soap bottle inside the shower. I literally turned around and got a hotel somewhere else. This place was gross.

Pros:

Outside small clusters of trash, one small black bug in bathroom and floor tacky. Needs instructions in room regarding how to turn on A/C and heater. The office is across the parking lot and no phone in room.

“Economy” Inn
Pros:

It was fine. Gopal at check in was very nice and excited we were there. It is definitely dated and creaky but clean enough and decent for the price.
