The owner charged us an additional $20.00 for damages he claimed was BLOOD on the pillows. We left the room in excellent condition and there was NO blood on the pillows. We will dispute the $20.00 charge with Mastercard.

It was not in good condition, there was a picture over the bed with broken glass. The room had a very odd smell like wood rot or dead animal. The room itself looked like it was falling apart and the kitchen cabinets had seen better days. The AC was absolutely disgusting, that filter doesn't look like it's ever been cleaned .

Front desk was good and had no issues with check-in. The room was cleaned properly and had cigarette smell. We reported about the smell and got different room and that does not had cigarette smell but the bathroom was not good. Also the towels, bed spread and pillow case was not good. Found insects inside the room. Overall it was very upsetting experience.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
When we arrived, the door to the office was locked so no one was at the front desk. There were 2 phone numbers to call for service and we finally reached someone at the second number we tried. He gave us a code for the room. The paint was peeling on ALL the walls and the carpet was filthy. We didn't see anyone representing the hotel during our stay. We tried calling the next morning and the mailbox was full! I hope this motel is removed from hotels.com and that no one stays here. Disgusting.
