Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The property has a smell like sigarette and the rooms do too over prized for what it looks like and pool had sox and beer cans in it
Nothing quite like the comfort of checking in with someone behind bullet proof glass. This is the type of shady motel that you see in movies. I booked 2 nights and stayed for less than 3 hours even knowing I wasn't going to get a dime back. I didn't feel safe the entire time I was there. I didn't even feel comfortable enough to connect to the Wifi out of fear of having my information stolen. I can't believe I gave them my credit card upon check in. I'll be spending the next few weeks checking said credit card for unapproved charges. I'd say it's the worst place I've ever stayed but I didn't really stay and instead spent the time finding somewhere else to go.
We arrived after 1am. We were given the wrong key to the wrong room.
We after received a new key to another room, to apparently a none-smoking room.
It reeked of cigarettes and weed.
We after move to another room that was right beside the front desk.
Around 2 am we could hear the front desk agent on the phone having a very load and aggressive conversation, that kept us awake.
I was just about to go complain but the phone call stopped.
