Our fridge was extremely dirty - my husband reported to the front desk and took a picture and nothing was done. The room had only 1 lock and the bedding didn’t look clean - it was an uneasy night, apparently the neighborhood is known for prostitution and drug dealers. I wished I would’ve of know prior to booking this room!!!

I don’t have anything positive to say about this property. It was the worst experience I had. I had to go to the store to buy linen towels and air fresheners was a nastiest place ever I stayed one night because I really needed it, I supposed to stay for three days, but I left the property at the next morning. I don’t recommend this property at all. I talked to Expedia to get a retail and they never help me at all to get a refund for my two nights left.

The pics of the property looks too good to be true. There are no night lights by the 2 bed side as shown in table. The room is very dirty, the towels are all uncleaned. They don't even have hangers. Will not recommend this motel at all!

I am not a big fan of the front desk management system he had gave me the wrong room then I had to go back to the front desk and request a room that was not occupied and for the two nights here the water system went down and there was no notification that it was going to be down.

Cheap and dilapidated

Great wifi, TV works, fridge and microwave work, cheap ... But cheap gets you dilapidated, dirty rough towels, torn bedspread, toilet loose, paper thin walls so you know the neighbour hates his cousin, dirty parking lot. Pay more to stay at the motel 6 next door.

When I arrived, they informed me about an additional security deposit they would charge. However, a week later, I found that they had actually charged me that deposit on top of the room rate. I tried contacting them several times. Over the phone, they admitted it was a mistake, but they never respond to messages or emails.

The second we stepped foot inside the room, it was extremely hot and very humid. The water from the bath was slightly running and there was black mold on the ceiling of the shower. The carpet was disgustingly filthy and torn up. The bed linens had marijuana resin stuck to them along with stains. The mattress protecter/cover was outrageously dirty and hadn’t been cleaned/changed. There was drug paraphernalia behind the nightstand and behind/underneath the dresser.
