Cockroaches everywhere

Absolutely disgusting! First of all I slept or didn't sleep with cockroachs crawling all over everything al night. Seen probably 40-50! Single shower barely big enough for one person it was not clean! Hade used bar of soap still on ledge. Toilet was super rusty not clean at all. Urine around toilet. Sink was moldy not clean at all. Water spots on mirror. Hole in drywall above the sink. Tables were not wiped off floor was discussing. I don't think anything was clean before our check in. Bed was made that was about it

It's bare bones

Friendly clerk, gave me coffee. No coffee in lobby or rooms. No refrigerator in room, small microwave with little power. No hair dryer or shampoo. Holes in curtain and blanket. Very loud due to interstate and parking lot. No bedbugs, linens looked and smelled clean. Laminate flooring coming apart. Heating system worked very well. Not enough outlets, none close to bed so that you can charge as you use your phone. Room small. No table, just one chair.

No-tel 6

The bed was made but the cleanliness of walls, doors, bathroom fixtures left alot to be desired. There was only bar soap and a minimum of towels. We were only about 2 hrs from home so decided jus to wait til we got home. There was no hair dryer, coffee maker, mini fridge, or even a drawer in any of the furniture! I saw a small bug run across the floor in the bathroom The interstate was rather loud from our room. The absolute worst part was as we were leaving, looking around the room to make sure we got all of our belongings, my husband noticed something on the shelf above the towel holder. It turned out to be syringes, someone had stashed there. I notified the woman at the front desk. She was not happy about it, yet didn’t seem surprised by it. So no, we will not be returning to that location ever! I do NOT reccomend this motel to anyone.
