BEWARE STAY AWAY FROM THIS EVIL PLACE

Nothing it was disgusting. Trash was under the bed, and they had trash piled up everywhere!
STAFF WAS INCREDIBLY RUDE AND HOSTILE. I am epileptic I had multiple episodes due to the old man threatening to kill my service dog! GOD FORIB YOU CALL COPS THEY REFUSE TO COME TAKE A REPORT!

Cons:

Don't waste your money
Pros:

Only thing it got going for is is it right off the interstate. it very run down and dirty . The floor had not been cleaned and the toilet and bath tub was nasty they also don't have breakfast. No ice and one cup for four people. The big thing that was scary was there was caps off IV needle in the parking lot. .

Pros:

Check in was slow. The room was kinda clean. The shower was disgusting and plumbed backwards. The sheets were absolutely not changed. We asked for clean ones. I think the management got insulted. HOLES in the bathroom door. We would not stay here again!

Always liked staying there but won’t be back there!
Cons:

We found bed bugs in both beds in the room. I picked two up with a piece of tissue paper and took them to the office and we checked out!

Average stay
Pros:

Hotel was a bit run down, no breakfast, no gym , but can’t except much for the price. The challenge I had was my rooms were dirty , had to change multiple times. The positive was that the man working the desk was very helpful and it was right off the highway.

It's a motel for a reason.
Pros:

The motel is priced well but not well maintained. The bedding has cigarette burns on it. The front door for checkin is locked so you have to ri g a bell to check in.

Not a good place at all .
Pros:

The room was clean. The shower head was pulled out of the wall . The tub was old and needed to be replace. Old scratch future .i sat in an office chair and almost flipped over . No coffee pot in room. Had to ask for more pillows only had 2 pillow with a king size bed that was hard . Then this morning went to take a shower no hot water. Went to office at 8 am the offcice was locked door . I read all the review for 2025 they must be doing their own reviews .
