Pros:

Nothing at all

Cons:

Everything especially when I got out the shower and there was no towels. Tried to go to sleep but I kept getting bitten by bed bugs. I couldnt eat because I lost my appetite from looking at the roaches climbing all over the place like they own it .

horrible place. literally worst motel ever been to in entire life.
Pros:

horrible place do not come here it nothing good about it

Cons:

this place is filthy. has very bad people the manager snd all the workers were harassing me im a young woman btw, and i paid for 2 nights they didnt let me stay there even though i already had a room, all because i didnt sign some paper, and i didnt sign it YET because the front desk worker was banging on my door pounding on it to the point where the whole was was shaking for a good 5 whole minutes and i couldnt answer because i was in the shower and it was only about 10:20 10:30 not even checkout. then he was yelling at me and had all the workers follow me everywhere, telling me to leave at 11 and come back at 3 even though my stuff was already there. and i was staying there for a good 5 days prior. i came back btw and they didnt let me in. lied and said they didnt get the money too.

fyi do not come to this motel unless you want to be treated poorly filled with disrespectful people and demoralizing toxic and abusive environment. please do not come here.

We left after 30 min of being upset over the filthy facilities!
Pros:

The sheets were clean.

Cons:

The property was worse than awful. Old and filthy flooring and walls and window. The one window had this old black curtain on a rod that was OLD and ragged. The Air conditioner was dusty, grimy, just filthy. The buttons were worn through. The baseboards, room corners, against walls filthy with dusty dirt. There was a boot print on one wall. Walls were patched and splotch painted. The restroom was the worse, floor filthy, scraped linoleum, shower molded. The entire environment was scary. People looked like thugs smoking weed and boozing. We stayed 30 min then left. I lost 145$ but, no way was my husband and I staying. Could not sleep in that filth. Do NOT stay here!! Booking.com needs to remove them from their list.
