Pros:

I was given the wrong room after given key to the room. Front door damaged. Bathroom door damaged. Wholes and mold on the walls. Mold in the bathroom, I couldn’t shower. Little friends crawling around the room, I had to keep everything on top of the bed, including shoes. And I was forced out before my checkout time.

SUPERIOR 4 a "mom & pop" - Pleasant for the PRICE!
Pros:

No hassle booking for HALF the price of "chain" motels. FRIENDLY front desk check-in at NOON! Room was "NO frills" for sure -but the bed linens were FRESH and SPOTLESS. The room's flooring, along with the entire bathroom (and towels), were CLEAN. The A/C worked - and didn't smell as is so often the case in more expensive places that I've paid twice as much for. A great surprise. A good deal - if you're not a prissy complainer like so many of the reviewers who OBVIOUSLY (and totally unrealistically) expect "the Ritz" for "two bits" - so I recommend it highly - for REASONABLE people, that is. I will certainly stay there again if I need a place to sleep and eat my take-out before I get back on the road. Cheers!

Pros:

Terrible service. The person on the front desk was usually in the back, sleeping. The room was in a very poor condition. Some lamps did not work, and the toilet was missing the top for the water tank. It was really a dissatisfaction to stay here. I won’t come back.

Worse motel EVER
Pros:

I wouldn't wish the worse enemy to stay in this place. The room was filthy, filled with roaches and other bugs, sheets had multiple cigarette holes, mattress had bed bugs...
Sleeping on the street is a better option!!
On top of that, room was $190.

Pros:

We typically stay in a room based on a combination of low price and expedia reviews. This one appeared decent enough. As we travel to sight see, hotels are only a place to sleep. We've stayed in older and worn-out hotels plenty of times, but as long as there is a clean bed, shower and sink, we make do. This by far was the worst hotel I've ever been in that I can remember. Dust, dirt, gray-ish bath towels and dark blue sheets (I'm used to white sheets so I can get a sense of cleanliness). Nothing in this room was clean, from the microwave to the cobwebs to the wall stains/marks to the holes/cracks. Had there been anywhere else in the area that wasn't $hundreds more a night during our stay, we would have left. If we had 2 bench seats in the rental car, we would have slept there. Should truthfully be health inspected.
