This was the WORST place I have ever stayed and we felt very unsafe. The bath towels were stained. And to make it a complete nightmare, we discovered cockroaches crawling around in the morning. We want a FULL refund!

Filthy room/careless management
The floor of the room was filthy. I told the front desk about this after our first night and they said they would clean it. It was just as dirty the second night. Management didn't care when I voiced my complaints the next night. I tried calling back four times over the following two weeks to speak with or leave a message with a manager about my experience. They never bothered to call back.
Photo of the towel that I wiped on the floor. There was zero concern when I showed this to the person working the front desk.

You get what you pay for
Its a cheap price hotel, and thats what your gana get. Not the cleanest but a place to sleep better than my truck. Some safety concerns plug outlet behind bed is a fire hazard (no cover on it,and outlet wires exposed found it when replacing the bed head board back on it fell off while moving the pillows around, and glad i didnt get hurt had to have employee help to place it back up because it was so heavy. Employees were nice.

Wrong beds and roaches
Upon arrival, i reserved a king and received 2 fulls. When turning in light roaches were everywhere. We returned to the desk to find no other rooms available. In return, we left and made the 3 hour drive home at 2am.

The only endearing quality is I that I was able to have my dog with me, but there was no mention of an additional fee. When I checked in the first room they gave me was occupied when I walked in which was kind of disturbing. Imagine walking into what you think is an empty room with the TV on, bed covers missing, and soda cans everywhere. The room they gave me was tidy, but bugs kept coming in under the door that my dog chased around. Last, I've never been in a hotel/motel with no bathroom doors to the shower or toilet, at all in any room. (I asked). For $80 there are other options that I will take next time that accommodate pets for free. The photo looked like a cheap hotel and I've been in plenty traveling. But this was a unique experience that I won't be doing again.
