Pros:

In the hood. Like hood hood. But staff got you if you ask for a room in the back away from the base heads. Front desk dudes are chill. Dont bring your girl.

Pros:

The room reeked of cigarettes, the window didn’t open for ventilation, and turning on the AC only made the smell worse. The smoke detector was taken out of the ceiling. Every surface was grimy and stained. There was no hot water. When checking for bed bugs, I found a half-eaten moldy cookie under the bed with bugs on it. There was a large group of sketchy people hanging around the gas station next door and occasionally running through the motel property. I checked out after an hour. The pictures Expedia shows are far from reality. The staff member at the front desk seemed nice, but that is the only positive thing I have to say about the experience.

Pros:

When I checked in, I noticed it looked kind of sketchy. And about midnight I heard people walking around the parking lot. It was a bunch of homeless people looking in and underneath cars. I informed the front desk and he said they’re harmless. There was no way I could stay there so I left within 30 minutes of arrival

Pros:

The hotel room looked like it was not completed from a remodel or renovation, lacking grout. It had chips and uneven paint. The floor looked disgusting. The heating AC unit was extremely loud. There are only overhead lights, no bedside table lamps. No UBS connections. Wi-Fi is available, but you have to ask for the password – it is not provided. The area does not feel safe. A lot of activity in the parking lot would confirm that at 3, 4 and 5 AM. There are no amenities, provided other than a tiny wrapped soap. The towels were stained, rough and small. This Desk attendant tried very hard to be helpful, assisting with a room change when the television did not work in the first room. Whatever unit hangs on the wall was disgustingly dirty. Not sure what its purpose is.
