10/10 Exceptional

Nice rooms
Luis, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Awesome
Charlotte, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Very very dirty

The dirty and nastiest room I've ever seen at a hotel. We didn't stay the night at the hotel. There were guys with no shirts hanging out in front of their rooms smoking marijuana. We turned in our key and didn't get a refund.
Dale, 1-night trip

Jeremy, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Cockroaches Everywhere

Infested with cockroaches. If it wasn’t for that it would’ve been fine for a quick trip. Service offered to switch me to a different room, which was nice, but I decided to leave.
2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Would not stay here long term

I would not stay here for more than a day because the motel is roach infested not clean and the housekeeping there sucks but they're quick to walk into your room and then if they do come in and clean it's like they really did nothing
Zavonte, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Not a good place to stay.A treat you like Crap

My stay was horrible.They were rude.They made me feel unwelcome.They had nothing to eat for breakfast.Is it for noodles?They just bad service
Ana, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

It was super dirty with a bad smell in the room, the sheets were dirty. I asked for my money to be refunded and I am still waiting for a response. I really did not like it at all.
Janny, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Would not recommend this dump to the dogs

The only thing that I can say good about this place is the price online if you go in person it's going to be a little pricey and room 205 and 209 have bad plumbing problems and they're both roach infested most of their rooms have roaches or some type of damage to the rooms and you're either going to get a room with out a coffee maker and a blow dryer or one or the other and the people at the front desk they're not very friendly they have snobby attitudes and it's like they get annoyed anytime you ask them a question and if you're lucky to get clean towels and clean bed sheets and also pillow casing that would be extremely rare because most of their towels look like they have blood stains on them they just don't look like something you would be comfortable using as well as their sheets
Klarissa, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Be aware - Don’t be deceived by the star rating. The only reason I selected this place over the others in the area was the star rating. This is probably a 2 or at most 2.5 star motel. The room had so many mosquitoes and I tried to reach the front desk many times and they never bothered to pick up the phone. There were left overs in the microwave and refrigerator. Faucet was splashing water all over. The bed was making noise with every move and at night there were strange noises similar to rodents (didn’t see any to be clear). Breakfast area had a weird smell like something was burned. I had reservation for 3 nights but had to check out based on Expedia’s recommendation after the first night but the property refused to refund me for the remaining nights. I am not going to go bankrupt with the money they kept from me but I suggest them to buy at least one more used table and a few chairs for their dining area with that money. CORRECT YOUR STAT RATING so people don’t get fooled.

8/10 Very good

4/10 Fair

Hotel muy economico, y sencillo.

Hotel muy sencillo, mobiliario ya muy viejo, los colchones mas grandes que las bases. El internet muy inestable, casi no lo pude utilizar.
Israel, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

It was affordable and average. Wasn't expecting anything fancy, and didn't get anything fancy in return. Was a bit sad the continental breakfast has been discontinued permanently and this was not updated on Expedia. Room did smell pretty strongly of weed so if you have a weak nose be aware.
Dallin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall we were happy with our stay. But I did find it strange and inconvenient that we had to leave a $50 cash deposit upon checking in and had to have a room inspection before checking out to get the deposit back.
Michael, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good people on top of it
Virginia, 24-night trip

2/10 Poor

Room was dirty, I did not want to take my shoes off. The lobby was extremely hot and person at desk spoke limited English. There is no airport shuttle as advertised. The area was sketchy with working women out and about. Awkward full sized fridge in room. The Breakfast that was offered, was dry cereal and water.
Julie, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Attendant asked for a fifty dollar cash deposit... not cc... he was upset when I asked for a receipt for the cash, so he hand wrote it on my receipt from expedia... the door to the room had a lock above the handle because the handle lock did not work. The room was not swept. There was gaps in the door. And the bathroom tile floor was cracked and broken walls needed to be painted quickly... breakfast was a box of cereal you had to ask for a bowl and milk and coffee was cold... honestly seemed like a pay by hour hotel.. I have never stayed in one like this ever... i would have never taken my children to a place like this.. ferrell cat herd roaming the area living under stairs.. non smoking room definitely smoked in... people fighting in parking lot. Felt nervous all night did not sleep...
