Pros:

Arrived to the place, the owner greeted and gave me a room, as seen in thr pictires i informed of the down grade aweful room and without remorse stated that it was the only one left. She could not give me refund because it was dobe through a 3rd party site. She was called and denied my refund. I would suggest not booking a room here at all. The beds had blood stains. The restrioim smelled like pee ans marijuana. The refrigiratoe did not work and had molds. I would go on but im out of words.

Pros:

When we arived for check in they had to call someone to help us due to a language barrier then we got to the room and our key wasn't working and thenthe guy came over opened our room and took our key and walked away saying their son was on his way so we go in turn on the ac and check the room it is not the room we booked as we booked 2 queen beds and recieved 2 full beds and the beds are stained up and broken and dirty then we looked at the rest and it had a bathroom, a closet and a kitchenette all the outlets had no covers and the fridge was dirty. Outside it looked like people were living there long term. We went to the front and told them the room was nasty so they gave our money back and we left!

Pros:

The walls the floor the doors the restroom everything was horrible they did not clean the room from previous people there was a cigarette and ash in the faucet. The room smelled so bad the walls were horrible the Sheetrock was coming off and was taped with duck tape. Horrible experience there were roaches dried in the walls. For the price it is not worth it we got there at 1am to check in only stayed to sleep literally but it wasn’t worth it.

Pros:

I made a reservation at noon the day of travel and hotel day check. I booked a 3 day stay starting 1-19 in anytime after 3p till check out at 11a on wed 1-22. I take a Lyft and finally get to motel at about 11:45p only to be told by a man that was in the office apt behind a window that he had no room left that night! I said I have a reservation that was place earlier today and already paid for 3 day stay as he pointed up at a hand made sign over the top of window saying no more vacancy.
When told him what are you saying that I don't have my room that I payed for already in advance way before now? And all he said was yes no rooms left. I said what do I do then give me my refund he said sorry you need to take care of that. And as of today 1-22-25 at 2a I have not received my refund for over 150.00! So DO NOT ever book a stay here because if your from out of town this motel stay will never be a promise that you will have your room to stay in even if you have reservations. And to add to the day it had just dropped to about 36° with hard winds and I watched my Lyft drive away as this hotel man turned around and walked inside his warm office leaving me standing outside with my mouth open and looking at my phone saying What do I do now it's now past midnight and I could not book a hotel for that same day now since it was already now Monday to the apps to book for a stay. Again I never stayed here and I hope you will NEVER booked a stay here and I hope this property is removed!
