“Don't stay here alone”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

Beware there are ghetto drugged up drunk people outside yelling until 1:30-ish am. There's like a club on top of the front office so they hang outside. Police drive by a few times when the club gets out to make sure everyone has left.

Once you get in the room you're safe, just bring your belongings inside with you!
I checked every where for roachs and bedbugs couldn't find anything it was pretty clean for what it looks like from the outside.

Lots of hot water and the heat works well.

Would I stay here again?
Sure, it's cheap, aren't any bugs and I usually don't go to bed until 1am anyways. However, keep in mind I would make sure I was with someone I trusted to keep me safe!

Thanks for letting everyone know that we are a comfortable and clean property! We are sorry about the noise you experienced....that was a bar attached to the Mexican restaurant on the second floor and now they close at 11:00PM. It has become more of a restaurant bar due to the earlier closing time than a "club". We did not want the noise to affect our guests. Again, we thank you for your nice review about our quality hotel at a reasonable rate. We take get strides in keeping our property safe and clean. We treat our guests like family and hope you will be back to visit us soon!

“Simply avoid”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 December 2011

I travelled there at thanksgiv wkend with my husband .. had a very painful experience:

1. I requested for a microwave when booking - never got it - there was a young Indian woman who promised me everytime to get it to my room - she was the greatest lier I have ever seen in my life
(this is not any sort of racist comment..but being an Indian myself, I was expecting better & responsible behavior from this lady)

2. None of the food vending machines in this hotel worked...it was very rainy that day & even for small snacks, we had run to the nearest gas station in the torrential rain

3. The TV remote didn't have any battery (although they provided one when asked for..that the only thing we thankfully got from them)

4. Due to consistent bad service, we checked out earlier than what we booked..when we asked for a refund, there was again this Indian woman who kept on delaying on one pretext or the other...asked us to come at 10am to her office when she herself was not there..the person who was there instead told us that he cannot help us unless she returns
Now is that what you call a "responsible behavior"?

Overall, that was one of the worst exp ever..I have been to similar priced hotels in many places, but this one was unbearable (not to speak of their "continental breakfast" that has only buns/cereals/apple juice)

Avoid this hotel at any cost ..you will get better service (& behavior) at other similar priced hotels

We are terribly sorry for your inconvenience and have spoken to our staff to find out where the "communication" problem occured. We do not have microwaves and refrigerators in every room, but ALWAYS send one to a room upon request. We are not sure why this was a problem. We sent our maintenance staff to check all vending machines and found they are all in working condition. We wish you would have come to the desk and we would've assisted youin getting the snacks from the machines. Our TV remotes run on batteries and do run out at times. Thank you for letting us know and we are glad we were able to help you with that issue. As far as our service went, we would not refund your stay because we did not know about the vending machine issue and could not help you unless you brought it to our attention. We are sorry for that. We did correct the problem with the remote. We are glad we were able to help. As far as the microwave, I cannot understand what the actual complaint was since we offered it to you. Did you not receive it? Was it broken? I would like to know because I would then speak to my staff. We always treat our guests very well and look forward to their return visits. We are again, sorry that you felt this was a bad stay for you. We do wish you would contact us and let us know how we can improve your next visit.

“Look Elsewhere”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 October 2011

people found this review helpful

We'd like to rate this motel well but just cannot do it. The front desk ladies were very nice, but we knew it was dicey when we saw the front desk--it had a huge plastic shield with only a hole in the bottom to put your money through. The price is cheap, because that is what you are paying for. While it looks OK on the outside, and the rooms were not that bad inside, here are the scary parts of our stay: Druggie/prostitute looking people roaming around the complex; carpeting in room was horribly dirty; we did not even want to guess what the stains were on the walls (but, we have an idea); and the top of the curtains in room were falling down. If the management would re-do this motel, clean the walls, fix the curtains, shampoo the carpeting, and give it a good paint job, it could be a decent place. The neighborhood is OK, much better than a few miles south of there. It's right off the main road, so it is convenient. We checked out early the next morning. Look elsewhere.

Arrived here after not being able to find an open hotel for 35 miles or more. Drove up really, really late. There were guys who looked like coke addicts out walking around. Got into the room and there were people up walking around above the room...at 3a. The room and pillows smelled like stale cigarettes. The walls and ceilings had spider webs and dirt that made you feel like you had just entered the Twilight Zone. If you look up the word seedy in the dictionary, this motel's photo would be next to it.
The carpet and furniture looked like they were pulled from a Salvation Army. It's clear this dump is meant for drug addicts and the like. Deplorable!!!!

“Disgusting”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 September 2011
6
people found this review helpful

This place is absolutely awful. The minute that you walk in the lobby and see the desk person behind a thick sheet of glass, you quickly realize that this place is just sleazy. The other guests that I saw looked like very questionable characters, and once I was inside the room, I looked around, and immediately checked out. The place looks like the type of place that you would bring a prostitute or meet your drug dealer. The bathroom mirror was broken, and the room decor hasn't changed since 1975. The unidentifiable odor to the room was unbearable. The first thing that my wife said was "Do you think the car will be here in the morning?" Just go someplace else. This place should be torn down.

Dear MarkFDM3,

Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to share a review about our hotel. I apologize for any inconvenience you encountered during your stay. Please know that our property was renovated in 2009. We added new carpets, replaced windows, new bathroom floors, tub surrounds, and vanities. We added new stucco to the exterior and also added a new breakfast area. I am sorry you weren't able to find what you were looking for.
