I can't believe I stayed there. Properties like these will make me lose my faith in Expedia. Don't they check them before listing? But then again, why did I not read the negative reviews from others? This place should pay us to stay there. Even in 50 bucks, they make a lot of profit. In fact whatever the price, they will always be very profitable. What a dump. It stinks, cigarette smell, poor communication, bad rooms and linen, dirty towels, you name it. Can there be a negative star? Interestingly, this is the only hotel/motel whatever you call it, that did not ask for my credit card for incidentals or if I break or steel anything!. Because truly, there is nothing to break or steal here!

I recommend improving front desk phone answering service prior to arrival, stocking toilet paper and extra blankets. Otherwise, we had an enjoyable stay watching the New Years Eve celebration on a modest sized tv.
