Good Place to Stay
It's a quirky old motel but you can tell they have been updating the rooms. All the staff was really friendly and helpful and right on the bus line to get downtown so worked really well.

Like taking a classic car for a ride.
Enjoyed our stay. It is old and has more than a few blemishes. You go with that in mind and you can enjoy the history. It was clean and the front desk was super friendly. The beds were a little hard and the sheets had seen better days. I would say there again.

Wasn't a great place to stay imo. The facility was dated, my curtain had a tear/hole, ac unit is loud, room small, bathroom felt very old. Price was cheap, relatively close to downtown though, and it didn't feel like a dangerous neighborhood.

The picture is misleading. Never again
It was grubby and poorly maintained (some electrical outlets missing covers, hard beds, cracks in walls) and a great deal of noise from other patrons.

Rapist, scabies, bad service, filthy
Disgusting. The room had huge cracks in the walls and ceiling for scabies to come through, The pool was green with algae, thick dirt, and large amounts of scum floating on top. The front desk tried to deny me enough towels for a family of four to shower. No working coffee pot. They house the released convicted rapist and child molesters. Saves yourself the headache don’t stay there!!

The management did not address our concerns when we checked in. The hot tub was dirty and disgusting. There were absolutely dirty filthy towels that were folded up and placed for reuse, the Television didn't work and several building code violations throughout including exposed /incomplete electrical wiring. I went to the front desk and asked for corrections and was assured it would be addressed while we went out for dinner. It was not and when we came back I was told they had nobody to correct anything. We went to sleep in disgust, did not shower and went to speak with the manager in the morning. The staff agreed all of the items were unacceptable and told me that I was the one who broke the TV and dirtied the towels- until he realized I was recording in anticipation of his reaction. He then directed me to speak with the maanager "Jig" at 11am by phone. Surprise, no manager available. I called back at 3 and asked for Jig again and then he hung up on me. He then refused to pick up the phone. I wasnt seeking a credit or refund. I just wanted these items corrected. When they weren't, I then was expecting a credit, which I don't think is unreasonable since we paid more for the Hot Tub Suite that we wouldn't use because it was disgusting.

Do Not Stay Here!
Absolutely awful! They could have done so good with this place, but no. Rooms were dirty, a fire hazard and there were dead roaches. Informed them and they refused to take responsibility or apologize. Checked out and was only given partial refund because I stayed for an hour and a half looking for new place to stay!!!

First off when I went to our room it looked like spit balls on the wall and in the bathroom ceiling. I realized that they were put there to cover holes in the ceiling and wall. The staff members were unprofessional and rude. my battery died and ask one of the staff if she knew anyone that could give me a jump and her reply was "What are gonna pay?" I said "what?" Her reply was " no one will do that crap ( she used foul language) for free here." I had employees enter my room without permission twice. I found a man laying in the parking lot one morning and he was unresponsive. I went to the office and told the employee and he came out and slapped the guy in the face, he was still unresponsive. I told him he needed to call 911 as he had labored breathing as well as being unresponsive. He didn't want to, but I insisted, so he did. Some of residents that live there were unruly there was verbal fighting multiple times when I stayed there. Also it is in a very bad neighborhood.
