Old motel being renovated. None of the pictures are accurate. No breakfast, dining area gone. First room air conditioner broke propped against the wall with bed. Refrigerator didn't work, plug in the bathroom. I asked after hauling everything upstairs if all the rooms were under construction. I was told nicely let me put you over here. He knew. Hauled everything back down and up another set of stairs. Newish room. The seating area shown is empty. A room with lots of space. Ice machine has foam in it from cups, no scoop there. Aside from good hot water, Coke machine cheap and pleasant staff it's terrible. They did have coffee in the lobby.

This was absolutely the most disgusting, dingy, nasty hotel I have ever step foot in. The front desk was dusty and the whole building reeked of cigarette smoke and trash!! We went around the back to get to our room, entered the building and there were bags of trash all over the place and a trash strung about the steps and hallway.

Did not actually have breakfast available. Keycard had to be reset once a day. Bathroom floor was wet when I checked in since the sink was left on before I came in. Burn marks in bed sheets. Could hear everything in every room, hallway or on other side of window, even a key falling on ground like it was 5 feet from me.

The entire check in process was horrible. First room was not cleaned with cigarettes everywhere, I tried 4 other rooms that were also not clean and come under maintenance. The agent had to make a master key to try to find a clean room. The one I settled on had dead roach, filthy iron, bathroom door was broken, bed was stained and floor was not cleaned. Horrible stay!
