Absolutely disgusting. Roaches and spiders everywhere. This hotel is also known for “pay by the minute”, which I had no clue; so needless to stay incredibly uncomfortable to stay here.

First off Eff Expedia as they wouldn’t refund me. I spent over $120 on what was a 7.2 rating for this room. I pull up and immediately I notice the parking lot is full of drug addicts and no parking as advertised. Shirtless homeless people all sitting outside doing drugs. I was scared to get out of my car and immediately took off. Expedia would not refund me as they said it’s the hotels policy. DoNOT book here. Scam artists

The motel is VERY unsafe. I wasn’t expecting to have Crack heads in all the neighboring rooms.
I was there to get some rest before taking my State Board test. Needless to say, I didn’t get rested.
I even felt it necessary to block the door with chairs and a desk.

Terrible place !! Small, dirty, crowded, zero parking, noisy train every 20 minutes, no hot water, expensive, no windows to the smaller rooms.

I had a Cute little room...and maybe I missed where it said there was going to be a deposit. A heads up on that would have been ideal ,... but not a big deal. I liked it there. Definitely improvements since the last time I stayed there. Pets would be awesome too.... you should do like motel 6 and pets are free...you would get so much more business because people are crazy about their animals.

This is an old motel that hasn’t been kept up and is in a similar area of town. It’s unfortunate because the owners were very nice and extremely accommodating, and at least the bed had clean sheets. But there was soap and hair in the shower from a previous occupant, cracked tiles and a spitting the floor which felt like I was going to fall through each time I passed over it. I would not recommend it at all
