We stayed one night the first room we checked into smelled of moth balls so strong that it burnt our throats. The only room available was a king we made due. The bathroom shower was black, the sheets had crumbs the love seat looked like it had surgery and to top it off there was a fake eyelash stuck to the wall next to the nightstand

This hotel redefined for me what I previously thought was possible for a one star hotel. The level of filth was frankly shocking. Everything was rundown, dank, dirty, broken, cracked, smelled bad. I wanted to leave the moment I walked in. I don’t consider myself overly sensitive and I’ve stayed in lots of cheap hotels but this was jaw droppingly disgusting. I wish I had never set foot in that place.

The staff at this property were really nice, and check in/out was super easy. I would not, however, recommend staying here. I stayed in a room that smelled like cigarette smoke despite the whole building being labelled as non-smoking (I now have to wash all of the clothes I brought with me), there were huge chips in the paint, obvious replastering of the ceiling, dust on the ceiling, hair in the bed, the thinnest blanket of all time, no Kleenexes, no garbage bins, there were stains on the walls, no hot water in the sink, the shower produced water from the tap and shower head simultaneously, there was a huge brown stain on one of the towels, and the safety lock on the door was broken.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We ended up leaving for a different location about 30 min after arriving. The entire building had a horrible smell (think musty grandparent smell). Mini fridge was so loud it shook the furniture around it. Bed felt like an old metal cot with an even older mattress. The whole front section of the property is for long term residents. The building we were in was in the back corner. The fence that ran along the property line had sections kicked out making it easy for someone to approach from the back.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The motel was disgusting and felt unsafe. I'm unsure if the building booked for hotels.com is different from the rest, but this was unfinished and gross. The mattresses were stained, the sheets were stained, the laminate flooring had holes, the walls had holes, the telephone was nicotine stained, the hair dryer had hair jammed in it, the door jam that the security chain was attached to was ripped off the wall. We left and found another place instead of staying. The pictures were incredibly misleading, and this was a bait and switch of a hotel. I've stayed in countless roadside motels and dont care about amenities so long as i have a safe, cleanish place to stay. This wasnt even hourly motel quality.
