Disgusting establishment

Arrived at 4:45 PM note at the front desk said be back in 15 minutes. Went back 20 minutes later and still nobody there. I called the number on the window and the hotel manager said he would be back for another half hour and he left the card to my room on a planter in front of the office. It was in an obvious place where anyone could’ve taken the key and checked all the rooms for entrance. The place was disgustingly dirty, holes in the sheets, cobwebs, dust, and mold all around the entire room. Pictures will be enclosed. I would give this place a zero stars if I could. I would highly recommend someone to go elsewhere because this place was so disgusting I woke up stuffed up could not breathe through my nose because all of the dust and everything in the room I couldn’t even use the air conditioner because it was caked with dust so I was afraid to turn it on. I definitely will not return to this place.

Don't stay here

I arrived at 2AM and the bells to alert staff that I had arrived didn't work. I had to knock on the glass to get anyone's attention, and then the attendant acted very irritated. When we got into the room, there were bugs on the pillows and the toilet was difficult to flush. The toilet handle broke off the toilet the next night, so we had to move rooms, but they moved us from a room with two queens to a room with one king. Best thing about it is the free parking.

I liked the quietness, convenient location, and most affordable. It has microwave and mini fridge, but we did not need to use it. Good amount of parking spaces, and no parking fee. However, the lobby/entrance was locked when we checked in and out and had to use the side window to talk to someone. There was no greetings. The lobby entrance door was so dirty, it was full of dust, dried leaves and cob web. Seems like no one has ever used that door ever. The room smelled bad when we first opened the door. The second night it was okay. The floor carpet looked very dirty and very old, with dark stains all over. The sink was missing a sink drain strainer. The bathtub drainer was not in but put on the tub. The desk drawer was missing a door knob. For 2 nights, we did not meet or see any other guest or travelers. The place looked very deserted and empty. The courtyard was very dirty with dried leaves and trash. The ice machine did not work. I did not even feel like a motel! It felt like a low income apartment. The picture of the lobby on the website did not look like anything what I saw and visited---way the opposite of what I experienced. The people who checked me in and out, looked like they were awaken from a nap. Will not come back!!!
