The property had abandoned vehicles in the parking lot, the lobby smelled like cigarette smoke, the room was dirty smoke oder in the leaning. Management issed me a refund then charged my credit card twice. Expedia gave me the run around had to let the credit card company handle it .

This hotel was NOT at all as advertised in the pictures. The entire hotel, sheets, and room smelled of cigarette smoke despite being a non-smoking hotel with signs EVERYWHERE. The sink shot out everywhere and soaked the bathroom. The entire room was dirty in places. And the staff at the front desk had no idea what they were doing. Terrible.

Typical formerly corporate owned motel sold to immigrant owners who then run it with minimal maintenance. Safety doors taped open because the locks don't work, amateur paint jobs done without first masking it off, and even spraying wall texture over electrical outlets. Wyndham should be ashamed to put their name on this motel. Plus one star for no bedbugs, thankfully.

This place should be considered a homeless shelter instead of hotel. The pictures online look NOTHING like the hotel. It's a trap! They don't refund you becuase they know you'll have no choice but to stay. Filthy, trash outside, cigarette butts and needles. GROSS!!
