We smelled cigarette smoke the entire time. Very heavy smoke and could not breathe. Excessive noise in the hallways and loud talking
We could not stay the two nights we paid for. Too toxic. Paid for two nights and lost the money because we had to leave immediately. I recommend you not stay there ever. Totally nasty
This is a very rinky dink motel not hotel. The floors were slippery and sticky. Toilet was rusted shower was completely out of date. Towels seemed to be really old. Tile floor next to the best rest stains every where. I do not recommend anyone who would like to have a great hotel stay to book a room here.
I'm homeless right now i would love more deals on rooms

the check in was great, room was clean, just the edges of the tub were dirty. but what bothered me the most was how noisy it was, I was in second floor by the loby and you could here people talking with the staff all night until like 2 or 3 am and early in the morning, none stop.
Place is on a busy highway and it’s difficult to pull into the facility without causing traffic. Whole place smells like strong detergent smell you would think it would be super clean but floors are not properly cleaned. Floors where dirty and bed cover has 3 cigarette bud burns.
this place is dirty, falling apart, has blood stains on the edge of their bed sheets, and is really only a an hour hotel to have adult relationships with
It was FILTHY! The bed had some large identified stains on it that we did not realize were there until the morning, there was someone’s hair all over the under blanket. The room was not clean and the bed creaked really loud.
