Beware!!

Beware! When we got there there were hookers and drug dealers in the room across from us, in and out of the room. There were sketchy looking people in the some of the rooms, standing with the motel doors open looking at people arriving, like they were checking to see who they could rob. The room was filthy. Blood stains on the sheet on the bed. Only one sheet, no blanket. Blood stains on the carpet. Dirty windows. Burn holes in the carpet. The battery had been taken out of the smoke detector. Walls were dirty. No coffee maker. TV didnt work. Shower curtain rod pulled out of the wall. Something.some kind of slime, was on the chairs. This is the worst motel I have ever stayed at. Will not be back.

Very dirty, very disgusting mold smells of cigarettes many broken or missing items. So bad that even though I checked in at mid night I booked and left for another hotel getting there at 1am after a full day of travel. Should of gotten a full refund but didn’t even want to stay any longer than I had to.
