Hands down the filthiest motel I've ever stayed in, and I'm a purveyor of cheap motels. 1) Moldy something under the microwave plate 2) Holes (cigarette burns?) in the sheets 3) Crazies blasting bass in their cars at 5am for 45 mins 4) luke warm shower 5) a tiny bar of soap, no shampoo 6) dust and dirt and grime on most surfaces. 7) Wifi network down and nobody at the front desk for hours after 10pm The key and heater worked at least.

Room wreaked of bleach. Bathroom was discusting - didn’t use anything but the toilet once. Sheets we stained. Parking lot was filled with all kinds of loud people all night who look to be displaced or homeless. Was worried to leave my car unattended. Would not recommend to stay here.

Not sure why my wife chose to stay at this specific place, probably because of the name? We couldn’t sleep at night. The room and a musky smell to it, we didn’t undress because the sheets looked dirty. The heater was loud as a thunder and had a nasty smell coming from it. Since 5am people are loud, coming and going. Needs a remodel and new sheets to stay in business.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Room stunk, we had to buy air freshener to stomach it. The condenser on the a/c unit is going bad. Having people who live there for their residence, being noisy, parking travel trailers right up near guest rooms is unappealing and a security hazard for traveling guests. Kinda gave an unsafe vibe and we took all our belongings with us while we were gone for the day. Overall, the room was inexpensive and it’s a case of you get a place to crash while traveling.

Yuck

It was so dirty. There was stains on all the sheets. There was black things in the bed i would wipe away and within 30 min would be back. I thought maybe bug poop even thoigh i didn't see any bugs. Holes in the walls. Sitting out in the parking lot was a old camper with someone living in it. It was so bad my husband had me get a different room somewhere else for my 2nd night.
