The room had no heat when we first arrived, but warmed up fairly quick. I’m not sure why they left the room unheated when it is pretty chilly outside. The beds are comfortable and the shower was warm. They could use a few more towels.

DISGUSTING DONT STAY HERE!!!!!

The place was absolutely disgusting with stains all over the bed, disgusting toilet and shower, many cigarette/burn holes in all the blankets, many sketchy people around which made us uncomfortable. We ended up not even staying the night and left halfway through our one night stay. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!

Didn't feel particularly safe. Took a while to get to the hotel and find the office. You can see it, just hard to get to it. Noise from the interstate was plenty loud. I booked it by accident, won't make that mistake again.

I have stayed in some questionable properties before and I can honestly say this was the worse property I have ever stayed at. It is a large property probably 130 or so rooms most of the property is being used for full time residences and everything on the back 2/3 of the property looks like a homeless encampment. Broken down car's, trash and garbage everywhere. We were traveling with a small dog and circled the property looking for somewhere for her to go to the bathroom. Every piece of grassy area was completely covered in dog feces to the point my dog refused to go onto the grassy area's. We had to walk off propery to a lawn at another hotel where she immediately went on the grass and went. There were people out wandering around the property at all times. DO NOT COME TO THIS PROPERTY YOU WILL REGRET IT. A message to Expiedia you do not want to be associated with this property. Send someone to check it out and you will see.
