Rooms were clean however overpowering scent of Fabuloso required us to open window. Trash had accumulated in the parking courtyard and near one of our rooms. AC cover in one room was removed & laying on the floor. But AC did work. Staff was friendly & welcoming, she was the highlight of the property. She indicated she was new & look forward to changes she'll make

Where do I even begin? Filthy mattress, room smelled awful, run down building. At least it had a microwave and mini fridge. I would rather sleep under stars. Very disappointed

The motel was a dump. The room had flies everywhere. You should be ashamed to offer the hotel on your website. We would like a refund. We left immediately and didn’t spend the night. TERRIBLE!!!

I'm 71 years old and this is the worst motel I've ever stayed in. Floor was cracked and dirty. Sink and toilet were dirty. There was water on the floor in front of the toilet from a leak. The bedside lamp didn't work because the plug was missing from the cord. One sheet was draped over the mattress and a thin bedspread bedspread.There was no top sheet. There were no drinking cups available. was over that.

There is no deadbolt for the room only a lock on the door handle (not very safe as anyone can break in), roaches and crickets everywhere, parking is not the best.

Had to call a number and wait for check-in Room had no clock, lamp, coffee facilities. Dirr did NOT lock. Doorknob locked, but tongue didn’t match hole in frame. Dead bolt worked, barely reached frame to secure door but did. Couldn’t check-out, dot was locked, no access to advertised continental breakfast. Sign was almost on ground. Receipt didn’t match credit card charge. Charged card ar time of booking, not at check-in.

There are roaches in the room, there was also grasshopper. The 24-hour front desk was often locked .There was no free breakfast. Bottled water provided was disgusting. The pet fee doubled the cost of the room! Nothing good to say about this place! Thankfully the Expedia rep was able to give me a $25 credit.

We reserved a room with two beds, but they did not have any. Instead, they gave us a room with one bed and one sleeper sofa. Plus, the listing says they have breakfast and they do not. Furthermore, there was an old broken Coke machine outside with a used mattress leaning up against the wall like some sort of trashy trailer park.

Never Again!
The place from the outside is a dump. Front office locked. Had to call cell to get checked in. There was no non-smoking room available, only a smoking room. She gave me a candle to mask the smell. She blamed you guys because she said she was booked but you booked me anyway. The room was not really clean, bed was horrible, tv didn’t work. No continental breakfast - not even coffee. Take this place off your radar.

They just bought it 3 months ago they charge you 25 for your service dog. Then when I was walking my dog there was room open all night with it light on. Dead bolt did not work and the toilet was Tiny. It’s not very handicap accessible. The shower was slippery. Did not use.
I do hope the new owners fix up this place

I would never have stayed here if I knew…
I’m going to try really hard to be kind because the owners seem like good people, but I also have to be brutally honest.
I’m not sure how this place is getting 5 star reviews. The owners described it as a “working man’s motel”, and I understand that. If you’re truly looking for an inexpensive place to lay your head, this place is fine I guess? But if you’re looking for any kind of comfort, you’d be better off finding an Airbnb in the area. We honestly would have been more comfortable camping….
The pictures on hotels.com, etc, are misleading. They make it seem much nicer than it is. The overwhelming scent of Fabuloso can’t hide the fact that the floors are dirty (the picture is my socks after walking around for a few hours) and there are holes in the walls. We were only given one towel, the tv picture was fuzzy and the remote didn’t work. The refrigerator was dirty and sticky inside. Uncomfortable mattress with springs poking out, and flat pillows.
The description also states that they serve breakfast from 6-9am. There was no breakfast. If that was something that needed to be arranged beforehand, that needs to be stated in the description.
The only reason I gave it more than one star is because it was very affordable, and I’m sure the owners work very hard, but if you don’t have the resources to properly maintain a motel, you should probably go into another line of business.
