We booked this motel because of the price and location. However, I will never ever go cheap again. I would rather spend the money on a 4 star hotel than this dump! We spent a family weekend here and our stay here is what soured our vacation. We were afraid at night because there were street walkers and drug dealers... More

They charged my brother $10 to come visit me for an hour in my motel room and they charged my best friend as well...I would never recommend this for anyone. Super sketchy behavior form staff.

This hotel is the perfect place to stay if you want to hang out near drug dealers or prostitutes. Noisy, filthy, disgusting! If you are looking for a family friendly, romantic, safe, quiet, etc., go somewhere else!

Accidently booked on my smart phone without reading reviews. At least the cable tv drowns out the noise.I'm writing this review because I'm too freaked out to sleep. I can't believe I'm laying on the mattress. I'm appalled that expedia would let people book this motel.
