Worst experience I have ever had at an hotel. Staff was rude , people sleeping in their cars outside your room in the parking lot and ask to use your shower. There were piles of garbage outside the door of the room. The office manager/owner called yelling at me a day before I was scheduled to check out asking where I was cause it was past check out time. I would avoid this place at all cost!!!!! Prices were cheap but still will never go back

Sketchy area in the two story building. Broken down cars and a pitbull with people hanging around. I refused the first room they gave me. They offered up another one near the office that was better and I accepted it. Overall lower than expected and my expectations weren’t very high.

We had to change rooms because the first one they provided was smelly and dirty. Some of the staff acted like they were suspicious we were doing something wrong. In one case they asked how many people we had in the room. I've never been asked that after checking in.
