The shower was nasty. Moldy and nasty looking. The attached bar blasts music until 1am. Beds were clean and the mattress was ok. The place is cheap but not cheap enough to allow the shower to look like it did.

Mold in bathroom could not stay in room. Pass keys back in that night and left the property. I should get a refund. I took a picture of bathroom but can’t paste it in this message. But I can see email of pictures. Just let me know where to send. Thanks

We booked this place as it was the only place available for the night we needed to stay. We were a bit nervous as there was a lot of negative reviews, despite it being outdated it was spotless & had everything we needed. Staff, locals and the whole atmosphere was A . The lounge was great, we will most likely be back next time we’re in the area.

This is a dilapidated overpriced motel. Neighbourhood dogs barked all night. However, there are no other options under 200 a night

Couple next to us fought both nights we stayed we could hear them clear as day while they had their argument inside and outside their unit. Room was fairly clean and exactly what we needed for our short stay. While the room claimed to be non smoking, it is clear it was smoked in with the nicotine dripping from the bathroom ceiling.

A solid 1-star motel. From the drive up curb unappeal (apparent unused vacant units, dilapidated siding, ill-fitting AC units, concrete overflow and weed sprouts at footings, etc.) to the cowbell door annunciator to bring attendant from hallway, to the prominent hand-written “NO REFUNDS” sign pointedly displayed over the check in desk, you may feel something other than welcome. The good? Our unit door locked, the electric heaters were effective (if smelling of burnt dust), the toilet flushes, the linen seemed clean. The bad and ugly? The in-wall AC unit (showing the service filter light) wasn’t sealed completely and allowed a noticeable draft from the window to intrude into the only seating area; similarly, the door seal was open enough to show light in bottom corner when closed. General uncleanliness: “Lick and a promise” might describe the cleaning style, heavy on the “promise”. Most motel bathrooms show a little mold on the caulk around the tub, but this bathroom had a colony of black mold (Stachybotrys chartarum?) as big as your palm spread on the wall to the floor between the tub and the heater. There was enough that it could be considered a health hazard. My wife dropped her keys off the dresser and had to pull it out from the wall to retrieve them — suffice it to say this may have been the first time this decade the dresser was moved. Our recommendations? Book a room elsewhere—you might need to drive farther but you won’t regret it.

Smelled terrible when we went in. Opened door and window and had to spray perfume to try to rid the damp musty smell. Air conditioner was all rusty and sketchy to use. Bedspreads looked like they were from the 1970’s. This place needs a complete makeover. It is very tired.

I have traveled extensively both internationally & domestically & have never given a hotel a “1” rating, however, in all fairness to travelers, I must say this hotel deserves a “1.” The lady who checked us in was very nice, but it went downhill from there. The room does not look anything like the pictures; in reality, the room is old and run down. The mattress on 1 of the beds should have been thrown away long ago. It had a huge valley in the center & when you sat on the edge, all you felt was the metal frame around the springs. The wallpaper is coming off the walls. There was no hot water in the bathroom sink & the faucet in the tub dripped constantly. On top of that, there’s mold around the tub, on the bathroom ceiling, & in the air conditioner vents. The A/C unit was a window air conditioner, but it was so dirty and moldy that you were constantly breathing unhealthy air. Plus, the curtain completely covered the A/C unit so it couldn’t cool the room even if you used it. The continental breakfast consisted of toast, coffee, tea, 2 choices of dry cereal (but I didn’t see any milk), orange juice, & processed egg patties. When I told the staff (owner?) about the no hot water, & about the bed, he said the problem with the bed was that it slipped off the frame! (The reality is, the beds were on platforms, not frames.) It was obvious they didn’t care & nothing is going to be done to improve things. You definitely DO NOT want to stay here.
