There was mold in the bathroom and on the walls as well as hair from someone else on a previous stay still in the shower tub. The beds had visible dirty stains on them and the pillows and towels even looked like they were clean. I’m glad I had my own blanket and pillows I laid on top of the bed but even then I couldn’t sleep well with all the filth. Very disappointed. Don’t believe the pictures, the rooms look nothing like what they post. Very dirty and outdated. Even the hair dryer was half a hair drying with the cords from inside exposed like someone took the back off? It was just a terrible stay and experience.

Do Not Book a Reservation Here -- Stay Away
This hotel has unethical business practices. I booked a room online using hotels.com and then I had dinner next door to the hotel. When I went to the hotel to check-in on 8/9 they turned me down and said they were in an oversold situation, despite me already having a reservation # for a guaranteed stay. I asked about the refund and they didn't want to talk to me. Now they won't approve a refund, what am I being charged for if they didn't allow me stay there? This hotel is bad for business because they accept walk-ins over pre-booked reservations and they take no accountability? Who is running this run down hotel and making bad business decisions? I had to drive home 2.5 hours in flash flood conditions because this hotel would not honor my reservation. I have no idea what the quality of the hotel is because I never got a room, but I can't imagine the quality being good based on the piss poor service.

I generally like motor lodges where you can park right in front of your unit, making it easy to unload your car into your room. This particular place had a number of long-term residents whose vehicles took up spots and didn’t move the entire time we were there, thus causing me to have to park a less convenient distance from my door. I was not particularly happy about this and mentioned it to the manager who did nothing about it.

READ REVIEWS - WISH I WOULDA! Nowhere near the ratings. Poorly maintained facilities pulling up. Heater did not work and was filthy. Went to call but phone did not work. They offered to get me a different room but it was a sketchy place I did not feel good about. I just told him “I can’t stay here; I need something better” and left. I don’t need perfect, but I didn’t need that. Non-refundable means it was an expensive night getting another hotel.
