I was there on a solo trip to see family. As a female traveling alone safety is everything. The first thing i noticed was the bolt lock was broken with no way to lock the door but from the door knob (that i never trust to keep unwabted people out). Then there was spiders and crickets everywhere on the room. Ill be back to this area again soon and several more times in the near future to see family and wont be staying at this place again.

Do not trust the pics.

This hotel is run down. Needs a major upgrade. Water was off first half of the first night stayed. There is mildew growing on the walls and the sheets smelled musty.

Disgusting Rat Motel

These pictures are extremely deceiving. The rooms looked nothing like this. It was so dingy and dirty. Looked like a $40 hotel room not $80. The bottoms of the doors and walls were damaged and dirty and the floor was cheap and moved under your feet. The outlets sparked when we plugged our phone chargers in and looked like they had caught fire before. It smelled so bad like mildew even febreze spray didn't make it better. The comforters and sheets were white and had stains all over them.They only allowed us one thing towel each. They had 2 little packets of shampoo and 1 little bar of soap. No conditioner. The room was overall disgusting and gross. It looked like a rat motel room. I will never ever come back here. I wish I had taken pictures to post for everyone to see.

Just don't, keep looking

Very run down and dirty, bedding was not changed between guests and was heavily stained. Towels were threadbare and the room was cold. Asked for a different room and it was even worse. The deadbolt lock did not work and the room opened to the street. The neighborhood was very scary as well

Save your money and your health!!!

The Condition of our room was terrible. Let's start at the front door. The dead bolt did not work and the only was to secure the door was the doorknob. In the bathroom, we found someone's adult diaper in the trash can. The spindle for the toilet paper roll was missing and the TP was setting on the tank! You had a very small 20" vanity with no toiletries. Went to take a shower and the knob for the hot water was striped without a screw to hold it on. I had to go to my car and get a pair of pliers just to get it working. The water temp varied a lot, and my wife got scalded on her back. There was no power to the heating/AC unit and the outside temp got down into the 30's and it got a little chilly in the room. The laminate flooring was warped and in spots became a tripping hazard. This stay was definitely not worth more than $5 a night, if that. Save your money and go somewhere else!

Got the job done at a great price

Simply a good bare bones stay. Owner was very polite and responsive. No reason to spend $160 just to get an extra towel or two. Save your money and stay at locally owned businesses like this one.

Definitely not as advertised. My daughter ran her hands along something in the bathroom and came out with dust on her hand. There was an odor of pot. The pictures online made the place look way better. It was sketchy. We didn’t stay and turned around and asked for a refund.
