Booked a non-smoking room, room given to me had obviously been smoked in due to the smell & numerous burn holes in the bed sheets. AC was cool at best, room stayed muggy entire night & held the stench of mildew & old, wet dust, room couldn't have been dusted in yrs!

Restart what's supernoise? I can and make that. Seem like wonderful people. But the property condition, the parking lot. It's not the best it definitely needed some holes patch in. The rooms says the open the door. Straight of smoke literally had to go down to the store and get for breeze and a glade plug in to try to knock to smoke. Smell out, was it the worst I've ever smelled? But I smell the couple rooms that were the same. The room's definitely needed a face lift. It's new furniture, the batting was great. Was comfortable. Sheets were soft but the furniture was terrible. And the TV was fairy old was one of the first flat screens ever made. I literally had to put a cup underneath it to hold it up straight. Because it was broken until did to the right. Look like someone had to try to steal it before. Other than that, it just needs a face lift and something to knock to smoke out and keep people from smoking in the rooms. So I give this 12 stars. But for the money that I paid. I wasn't expecting. Pretty much you get what you pay for I mean to get a room for $55 for 1 night cheapest have ever paid for a hotel.

DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!
Run, dont walk, from this filthy, "roach coach" hotel!!! This non smoking room had cigarette burns on the tub and sheets. In this summer heat, the AC didn't hardly blow, and it took till morning to cool off. Shower curtain was filthy, and the walls wwre covered with writing, hand and foot prints. The door had been kicked open, and not repaired properly. This was as bad as it gets. How can it have a 6.0/10 rating?????

AC was badly in need of repair. No dials were functional or present, as long as we are on the subject. I woke in a pool of my own sweat. The property was old and very run down. Very friendly and helpful staff though.

When it’s 101 degrees outside you would expect to check into a prepaid room with it already being cool. Air was not on and hardly blew when turned on. Very uncomfortable and hot for hours after check in. Had to go sit in my car with the air running just to cool off.

Read this BEFORE you book!
The entire experience was a nightmare. I used this company to book our room, mistake #1. CLEARLY, anyone can list anything, that they deem sleep-able, as a room. Our first room key opened the door to a room that was piled with clothes and was about 95 degrees. The second key opened the door to a room that was about 90 degrees and smelled so bad we couldn’t even walk across the room. After reporting this one to management they offered us another room. My husband told them that they could just give us a refund but of course they can’t because we booked through this company. Management said that if we would look at room #3, should we decline, they would not contest it when they were contacted. We were escorted to the room, which was about 80 degrees with the a/c running. It didn’t smell as bad as the other and appeared to be slightly cleaner, so in an extremely exhausted state, we accepted the room. We discovered that ALL of the knobs were removed from the a/c unit so that wasn’t getting any better. The woman who escorted us returned, unprompted, with a candle and air freshener. That should tell you the condition of the air. We decided that we could stay long enough to get a good nap then get back on the road. I checked the shower and it wasn’t filthy so I decided to jump in. When I removed my shoes, I realized where the odor was coming from. The carpet was beyond funky. We literally kept our shoes on the entire time, only removed for the shower and the bed. Not done….

I would never stay there again because the room was dirty. The bathroom wasn't clean and the towels where also dirty. The sheets had stains and the toilet was dirty too. It took a while for the room to cool cause it was very hot when we got there. The nice thing about it was the receptionist was very nice. She switch me rooms but the other room was in the same condition.

Better off to sleep in car & shower at gas station
First room i had had broken furniture, no light fixture in bathroom, no remote for tv, dead bugs in drawer (i was looking for remote). I switched rooms but only difference was there was a remote. I had been up 27+ hours and driven 800 miles, so i fell asleep. When i got up in the morning and tried to take a shower i found out it didn't work, and the coffee pot was missing parts and was filthy. Complained the management but they had an attitude. Prepaid for two nights but had to leave after one due to conditions.

The room was supposed to be a non-smoking room. It REEKED of pot. I am rather allergic, so I spent the entire time nauseous. When I mentioned it to the manager, his response was that he "would tell housekeeping to leave the door open to let it air out." The bedding was at least clean but VERY stained. The room itself was in disrepair and in need of attention. I have no idea how the shower was, I wasn't willing to brave it. I will absolutely skip this place next time.
