Do not stay here.
Pros:

Old and run down. Tiles falling out of the shower wall. Floor boards pulling up, making a trip hazard. Sink faucet wasn't caulked down so it pulled out of the housing whenever it was turned off or on. Bathroom door didn't close at all. Front door had to be wrestled with to lock or unlock from the inside. Musty smell. At least there were no drug deals going down in the parking lot... I guess that's a positive.

Pros:

It’s on old Route 66. The whole area is run down. I try to support places like this but it’s hard to want to do that if the property isn’t kept up

Stay away
Pros:

The office staff could not get our attention because they could access the computer without a password. We waited for about ten minutes then someone said they would open our door to our room. But we wanted to go get food first. Very bad area so we had to go quite a ways to find a McDonald’s which only place to eat!

Pros:

If only sleeping one night its ok. Shower head broken. A/C didnt work correctly. The updated floor was poorly installed. Dont open curtains or you will see dirty windows. TV signal was glitchy on all cable stations. Outdoor light outside door blinked all night . Desk chair broken. Not worth the rate.

Pros:

3 stars for a nice clean bed, A/C and a good bar/restaurant across the street. Otherwise, property should be condemned.

Pros:

The front desk lady was not friendly at all.

The room was in very bad shape. The bathroom shower knob was off. There were bugs on the bathroom floor. Even the room floor was tilted. It made me think that the entire building maybe dangeroua and outdated.

Try your best to skip this one!

Skip. Don’t do it.
Pros:

Disgusting!! Mold all in the bathroom. Floor missing tiles and toilet wobbly. No coffee at all. Terrible attitude by older lady that checked me in. Now that I’ve been there I’ve seen there are much better options do not go here. It is not worth it. I feel like my cat now. Has all that mold on her fur.

I took a video on TikTok, but I didn’t take pictures.
