DO NOT STAY HERE
Pros:

Literally nothing. How is this a legitimate motel?

Cons:

This was the worst motel experience I have ever had. I had to leave the premises at midnight because I felt unsafe. It appears that this is less of a motel and more of a long-term housing complex for meth heads and prostitutes.

I arrived at 9 pm and it took me 20 minutes to find a staff member to check me in. The front office was vacant, and I rang a doorbell multiple times and called the number listed multiple times and waited to no avail. I noticed a sign that said to "Knock on room 203 for service", so then I wandered around the motel trying to find this room, during which I encountered several groups of shady men loitering on the premises. I observed what very obviously appeared to be a drug deal, and one motel room door just stood ajar for at least an hour. As a small woman by myself, I already felt very uncomfortable. I finally found a staff member after knocking on this door, although it seemed as though I had awoken her.

Once I was finally checked in, I entered my room which smelt very strongly like cigarette smoke and urine. I also noticed a cockroach scurry across the bed and found there was no toilet paper in the room. Despite the abysmal conditions, I was exhausted and figured I could just suck it up for one night. NOPE! At around midnight, I started hearing a loud smashing outside my room, as though someone were throwing bottles at concrete. This went on for about 20 minutes. Finally, resigned, I hurriedly grabbed all of my belongings and made a beeline back to my car. I was in such a rush, I managed to leave all my food in the m. On my way to my car, I passed an inebriated woman who I presumed to be a resident throwing bottles and cans? I didn't even bother contacting staff onsite, as I wanted to get the HELL out of there and already felt awkward disrupting the staff member in her room.

I ended up sleeping in my car in the local Walmart parking lot and attended my work event the following day exhausted. I better get a goddam refund.

The price was way too much for the service. If I hadn’t driven a long way that day, I would have found another hotel
Pros:

Bit of a shocker. The owners are a young family, but they need to turn this around. There seem to be some long term tenants with some needs, but they were fine and caused no issue. However, the owner clearly lied about the reasons for having no television. On reading reviews, the lack of television has been an ongoing problem. Deceptive service in that regard.

Cons:

Owner deceptive about television. Had no toilet paper

Hotel Maid should be manager.
Pros:

I loved everything about this hotel, management is extremely friendly and do the best they can . Rooms are clean and bed is very comfy. It's very quiet during the day.

Cons:

I didn't like that the hotel management did not speak any English at all. Kept telling me to go talk to the maid for help or to ask any questions or if we have any issues. The maid might as well be the hotel manager. She seemed to be responsible for everything . Literally.

Horrible
Cons:

No llegamos ni a entrar. No vimos ni la habitación. El ambiente exterior no era bueno, personas con malas pintas y gente drogada por todas partes. Acabamos buscando otro hotel para pasar la noche. No lo recomiendo.

Pros:

Pas grand chose...
Voir rien du tout a part la gentillesse de la dame.

Cons:

La chambre netait pas conforme aux photos.
La propreté inexistante... vraiment tres tres sale..
Nous n'avions pas de papier WC , pour les serviettes il a fallu dire que nous prenions une douche.
Jai un gros gros doute sur la propreté des draps... pour moi ils ne les changent pas..

Et pour conclure niveau sécurité... des toxicos autour... donc nous avons tres mal dormi, peur pour la voirure ...

Je voyage depuis des années, c'est la première fois que cela m'arrive.

Je pense qu'il devrait y avoir des contrôles...car les normes ne sont pas respectées !!!
