From outside looks are deceiving. Inside in serious need of help. Hallways dirty, carpet gross, walls beat up. Room was ok, bathroom looked like shower never got good cleaning. Had I not booked ahead and could not get a refund, I would have stayed elsewhere. TV would not work right and we were moved to another room.

It was a very run down motel. And the fact they had an early electronic check & still couldn’t clean the room is sad. The front desk person was very nice.

If you are considering staying at this hotel, I highly advise that you find another hotel. This place was DISGUSTING! 1st - the room walls/air vents had mold in them that you can smell and see immediately when entering the room, 2nd - the bathtub has more grim and dirt in it than a rundown house, 3rd - the hallway air vents also had mold that you can visibly see, 4th - the entire hotel smells as if it is a smoking hotel but stating that they are not, 5th - the bed sheets and towels are so old that you can see years worth of dingy stains on them, 6th - there so called "complimentary breakfast" was a coffee machine at the front desk with one smashed/package muffin next to it. I had paid for 3 nights stay and due to checking in late in the evening, we ended up staying the first night. My allergies went completely insane due to the mold and just being in that hotel for more than 30 minutes gives you a terrible headache, believed to be from the mold. I was not the only one effected, my husband and brother were effected as well. We ended up checking out early the next morning at moved to another hotel. I requested a refund for the 2 nights that we would not be staying at their hotel due to the conditions and was denied a refund. Stay far away from this hotel if you consider your health a priority and do not want to waste your money on a room that will make you sick.

This is one of the worst hotels in North America. Dirty, noisy, unsafe, bad & rude staff lady. The premises have not been cleaned for years. Foul smell, dirty linen, dirty & stained carpet, stains on walls & grubby furniture. It’s a very run down & shabby hotel.

Don’t stay here
No remote for TV. When received remote from front desk TV still did not work so returned. Carpet visibly dirty. Elevator and floor stayed on smelled strongly of Canibus upon arrival. Bath towels were size of hand towels. All furniture has signs of wear and heavy use. Exterior security camera pointing at ground. Sign said Restaurant , only had bar and Casino. Blanket on bed had one inch hole in it. Cleanliness is questionable. Would have not stayed after seeing room except purchased thru Hotels.com and figured refund was unlikely.
