Comfortable room. Mini fridge freezer only. No phone, no coffee maker, and no view but it doesn’t detract from comfort. A/C and fan worked well. Carl Jr next door was convenient. I’m grateful for their hospitality.

The room was cheap for the area, and I didn’t expect a 5 star resort. My only expectation was that it would be basically clean, to which it wasn’t. There was long hair on the table and pillow when I got in. I also killed a cockroach when I was going to bed. I will admit that the bed was decently comfortable, though. The physical shape of the room and surrounding area needed some serious attention. I was not happy when I was forced to have my drivers license held at the front desk because of some “computer issue” When I brought up the cockroach issue and showed the employee the picture at checkout, his response was sometimes the bugs come and said I could have switched rooms. Did not offer an apology or seem like he was interested in my issues. Please do not stay here.

The total experience was poor. The parking lot felt unsave. There was pleanty of trash, broken down cars etc. The room was filthy.There was writing on the walls, a dirty bathrom with grime of the walls. Mo hanger in the room The towels were stained. I was afraid ofr beg bugs so I DID NOT sleep under the covers. The entire place felt unsafe. You should remove this place. It does not reflect well on EXPEDIA!!

Rooms are descent, needs major upgrade tho. Kinda could smell the mold in the walls but nothing major. Maybe a deep cleaning to get that freshness. Next to frwy so a bit noisy. Not to many movie chanels either so cable is outdated. Very small showers too.

Roaches, no ice. Worn down too run down for the price. They didn’t bother the clean the microwave before they gave it and the non smoking room smelled like smoke and body Odor. Had to find fragrance just to tolerate the smell and change it. There are no real comforts but the wifi and the refrigerator was a plus as it gets very cold and the location was convenient to the highway.

Dirtiest hotel we’ve ever been to. Baseboards and walls had dirt, grime, and unknown drippings all over them. Bathroom wall had who knows what all over the wall by the toilet and toilet paper. There was only one full size towel, and 2 literal ripped up half towels.

I had a busy day on May 5, so I unfortunately arrived at 1:10am. The office was open and signs said 24 hours, but there was no staff there to check me into my room. I had to sleep in my car for the first night's stay. I was able to check in the following day, and the room was fine.

Pictures didn’t show how dirty and under maintained this place is. Check in office smelled like cigarette butts and staff did not really speak English. No elevator so we had to carry two 40 lbs luggages up on our own. The pathway upstairs was soft when stepping on, inside the room was quite shocking, home use hangers were filthy, water doesn’t really drain and pipe is smelly. They did not bother to clean edges of everything (chairs, chests, fridge…) so you see dirt everywhere. Hair and stains and molds on bed sheets/pillow cases. You would wonder if they ever washed bed coverings and doubt if their washer is never cleaned either. I got bug bites and my throat started to itch just 20mins staying in the room. It was too late for us to cancel this reservation or we would run. It’s our first time worrying about getting sick or bringing back bugs with us. Terrible, horrible experience!

The actual property looks old and unkept, the upstairs walkway looks and feels like it will give way any moment. Parking was very limited. It was a really bad choice for a stay but we came in at 11pm and everything else in the area was sold out. I highly do not recommend.

This property has limited parking, inside my room there were no windows and the ac unit worked very poorly. There were a few broken items in my room like a light lamp and my shower rode, which was tapped to the wall. Cleaning once a week. I had to supply my own toilet paper. Very poor stay.

Where to start the room looked like it was under renovation it looked as though there had been a fire in our bathroom, the bedding was stained at least Im hoping it was stains and not dirty. What looked to be a bullet hole in the door. The water coming out of the faucet was milky white looking.We left to go to dinner and the rooms door would not lock. I will not stay here again. If you do decide to book a room here do not stay in room 101.

Laundry like sandpaper. No coffee at room or desk. TV lost audio on every channel after 3-5 minutes. Locked out of room on trip to automobile and had to have card key reset. Strange growth from sink vent port that might gain sentience. No extras except one extra blanket should the heat go out. Budget truly describes this motel. Courteous staff.
