“OOOOOOOOOOOOO NNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 August 2011

The images are not accurate the place smells, is filthy, and abandoned. The people who leave positive reviews are probably used to staying in what most consider to be low class motels. Choice Hotels should disassciate themselves with this franchised hotel. It is bottom of the barrel. I stayed in MOTEL 6's better than this. The staff here doesn't speak much english soooo...... GOOD LUCK!!!

“Nastiest Hotel I've Ever Seen!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 July 2011

We arrived late at night after being on the road all day. The room was nasty! Mold and peeling paint/paper on the ceilings and walls. Fan in bath didn't work, AC didn't work, just blew hot air and had mold all over it. Beds were bowed, almost folded, and had dirty sheets and covers. Rust was on anything with metal. The plugs were so loose you couldn't plug anything in. Wi-fi didn't work. We asked for and got another room. The only difference was that the AC worked (sort of) and the beds weren't so bowed. I still slept on top with my clothes on. The breakfast area was filthy! Food and slop all over, they had already run out of most things by 7:30am. Tables were filthy, floor was filthy. We wouldn't even get a cup of coffee out of health concerns. Then we saw the exterior. Weedy, overgrown, dead plants. It honestly looked abandoned from outside. Lot was in disrepair, with crumbling curbs. We actually wondered if it was really an operating hotel or if someone had taken over an abandoned building and was renting rooms.

this hotel was the worst one we have ever stayed in! the staff is rude, and rooms are horrible...they had mold in them, bugs were crowing everywhere....we felt like if we left the room that some of the staff would go in an take our stuff, there was drugs at the hotel being smoked in the rooms next to us, the staff wouldnt do anything about it. the pool had used condoms in it, sex toys, and a drunk guy came off the streets an got in the pool with us, the next morning he was in the lobby eating food this dude didnt even have a room or anything....the food was horrible here....i would never stay here again this hotel is a pile of junk..

“You won't be very comfortable and its not clean.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 July 2011

The fire alarm beeping kept me up along with the beligerant guests next door. Not in a safe area. I felt like it could be a hotel where they could film a scary movie.

“Bugs”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 June 2011

We stayed at this hotel because it was pet friendly and reasonably priced, it was a terrible mistake. We first pulled up and the landscaping had not been tended to in quite some time which should have been our first clue. The hotel in general is very dated bordering on run-down. Basically the parking lot was full of truckers drinking and grilling and being very loud all evening. The rooms were dirty and once the roaches came out we left and were stuck trying to find alternate accommodations in the middle of the night. Avoid at all costs.
