Outstanding hotel!!!
Thank you so much for your assistance and kindness towards my nephew and his service animal. He was involved in a car accident and your hotel was awesome in helping him out.

2/10 Poor

like a Steven King novel
After a long day driving I needed a place to sleep. Hotel infrastructure was as-expected for the price. After I fell asleep someone knocked at the door and said that I need to pay $25 "pet fee" because I had a dog in i the room. I said that I had no dog and invited them in to inspect the room. After the person left I chided myself for inviting them in and I figured there was a 50:50 chance it was a druggie looking for money. I fell back asleep ... ... and was subsequently awakened again by someone banging on the door. This time it was the staff person who had checked me in. They said they had seen me walking a dog. I told them they were mistaken ... I have no dog with me ... I do not own a dog or any pet ... please come in and inspect the room. They did not come in the room, but walked away very angry muttering under their breath. Now I am honestly scared, wondering what kind of game/scam this is. 30-45 mins later ... approx 12:45 am ... another knock at the door. A third person asking me what had transpired. By this point I am in tears, ready to leave, and ready to go find another hotel. That person said they believed I didn't have a pet in the room and convinced me to stay. It took me 2 hours to fall back asleep again. I was up and back-on-the-road at 4:30 am. So much for getting some sleep. A very weird experience ... like a Steven King novel.

Unfortunately there are bed bugs and my wife and I were both bitten throughout our stay. The motel owner tried to provide a refund, but he said since we booked with Expedia, we could not. Don't use Expedia.

There was NOTHING to like. Run by an Indian family with no standards! Run down, no one in office, everything was broken, chipped or peeled. Hispanic contractors partying all evening in front and back. Very dangerous area. This proprietor doesn’t care about anything. First time I felt like $70 was a ripoff. Expedia should remove this hotel. Ad, photos and reviews are misleading or fake!

Cockroaches were present. Mild odor. Carpet was very worn and dirty. When I stepped into the wet shower, there was black liquid around my feet immediately. The beds were very poor. The staff was very polite and helpful, but this property is badly in need of updating.

Not a five star hotel by any means but a five star review due to friendly helpful staff and clean room. Rooms and property are a little shabby and very dated, but for the price the place is comfortable and staff fully serviced the room each night. If I come back to the area I will stay here again.

Listen…for a $65 (with tax) room, I was not expecting much. And it did not disappoint. But to be fair, it was close by my event, the carpet was not dirty, and the beds appears to be well maintained. I was comfortable and it was pretty quiet. All in all, you won’t be impressed but youlll get what you paid for…a fairly clean, quiet and safe place to lay your head.
