Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room was hot ( the AC had not been turned on ahead of time. Only 1 lamp out of 3 worked! The receptacle for the coffee machine and hair dryer did not work! Took the coffee maker over to the 1 lamp that worked and had plug ins and the blessed coffee machine did not work! I would not recommend this place to anyone
It was an ok place. We didn't spend much time there. The coffee maker was already full with water so I emptied it. Had bugs. Needless to say It was not used. Asked for clean towels, he took ours washed them and brought them back. It was a little odd since most places just give u new ones. Overall it wasn't that bd
Nice place to spend the night and plenty of parking. I had to transport a Mack box truck and had no issues finding parking here. My only complaint was that the heater did not work in the room so I was freezing but I just needed to spend the night.
The bathroom was hideous, at least could replace the toilet seats. The bed was very hard and uncomfortable the covers and pillows were dirty and the mattresses looked very old and in poor condition.

Worn out mattress
It was good but the mattress was worn out. Over all friendly environment
Will use them again.
Walked in the room and was overwhelmed by weed smoke as if someone just left the room. The couch and bed were both dilapidated. I do understand it’s a business but this establishment should be paying customers to stay in these horrendous conditions.
Room was filthy, carpets are stained, bed covers were stained and had burn marks on them. The room smelled like someone was growing a marijuana farm in it or the the rooms on both sides. Fortunately we only needed a place to sleep before heading back home. The website was very misleading and the rate was way more than anyone should have to pay for the condition of that room. You couldn’t pay me any amount of money to stay there again.
24 hour restaurant was closed weeks before, why I choose the place. No breakfast or anything. Room was horrible, place was not very clean. Lamp did not work among other things. Room next to us must of been booked by drug dealers, door closed and opened at least 200 times in a 4 hour period.
As for others staying there, was no more than 4-5 other vehicles in parking lot for the night.
Sat on the toilet and realized it’s not attached to the floor
Lamp was broke
Refrigerator is leaning to the right
The bed was not neatly made
I payed for the room non refundable I’m debating if I’m going to drive home tonight instead of sleeping in the room
Very discounted
After getting there and looking at the room and seeing the filth and the condition that the room was in, I was showed four other rooms, and everyone of them was in the same kind of condition. There was giant stains on the carpet, stains on the bedspreads patches in the walls that was not painted, mold on the doors and ceilings. Bathroom sinks were busted Toilets had the wrong lids on them and the bathtub in one of the rooms looked like it had blood on it. I would highly recommend not to book a room at this place.
The front desk guy woke us up at 1 am to ask why there was a duplicate registration for us in the system. When I was upset that he had woken us for something so small, I expressed how frustrated I was. Both that night and the following morning I asked him to not come wake us that late unless it was an emergency. He tried to say we hadn’t been there earlier (we actually got back to our room at 8pm which is pretty early!) and then that it wasn’t a big deal. I am
Not sure if he just didn’t care or if he literally didn’t understand why waking someone at that hour would be an issue at all
The place was filthy. I’m so disgusted with this place. The was crap, literally poop amongst mold and god knows what else, all over the walls. None of the lamps worked but one, the AC barely worked. The furniture was all busted up and there was a hole in the bathroom door like someone punched it. The bathroom floor had mold and dirt caked in the corners. The sheets were stained and there were tons of holes in the blankets. The beds were lumpy and hard. The man at the front couldn’t even find my reservation and all he could tell me when I left was “sorry”. I only last two hours in there. So I didn’t even spend the night. This places needs to be shut down.
