The room was clean. No bedbugs or roaches.The surrounding area isn't the worst but it's not the best. My 4 day stay was nice though. I would book with them again.

This property is covered in a film of filth, destitution, and desperation. You can put up pretty dollar tree bling, but those won’t keep you from catching whatever transmittable disease is going around. You want toilet paper that should come standard? You will have to get it from a bullet proof slide out drawer. The description and pictures make you think you’re getting a mid level motel, but it’s a by-the-hour trash spot that I wouldn’t even offer our unhoused population as a spot Travelocity needs to take their listing down. Especially for them upcharging for using credit over cash.

Don't waste your time or money

Worse inn i ever stayed at. First off the room that we reserved wasnt availble, make sense of that. We had to down size from a kknd bed to a room with a full and twin size bed which we were charged extra then what was stated on on reservation. We get in the room and my wife wanted an extra pillow but was told no because the maid left at 4pm i guess it was to difficult for them to get it for us. Also the room had no toilet paper amd upon request was given attitude. Room was outdated and dirty. Also a bunch of shady people on the property. There was a sign in the room stating if you were caught having visitors or conversating with someone out side your room you would be fined and not get your despoit back.

Pretty Good

Have been here years ago before remodel. The remodel definately made a big difference, alot more cozy. Pros: Mattress cover Clean sheets/towels Pillow covers Nice decor Consistent hot water Microwave Fridge Cons: Cant adjust heat, way too hot, had to open window which felt unsafe. No extra roll of toilet paper No trash can in bathroom Walls super thin, could hear EVERYTHING Pillows way to hard and thick like bricks No outlets by either side of bed

The walls are paper thin… and there are a lot of couples that stay in that place so take that as you will … if you are a light sleeper do not stay here. Tv also does not work when trying to watch. Was pretty disappointed I had to hear people doing the deed all night and couldn’t even watch tv to try to cancel out the noise

It’ll do in a pinch.

Previous reviews looked good. But my visit was so so. Very loud air conditioner. Bed lined in plastic made it like sleeping on grandmas plastic covered sofa. When I used the microwave the power went out. Had to walk to office to have him reset. He told me fridge and microwave could not be plugged in at same time. No signage to tell me that. Had to turn in key card at checkout to get $50 deposit back. I stay in a lot of places and never do I return the key card. Just inconvenient.

Horrible service

The wrong was a nice, but the clerk on duty was the rudest person I’ve ever met in my life. He couldn’t find my book and took my ID then technically slid my ID through the window onto the floor, accessing my bank statement to prove I paid for the hotel room, ask for extra towels they’re like only two to a room no tile for the bathroom floor when you take a shower, so water gets all over the floor. Everything would’ve been fine if the guy wouldn’t have been so rude the way he spoke to me if it wasn’t late I would’ve went somewhere else. I’ll never go back, and I don’t suggest too many people go there.
