    The two big issues were that 3 of the light switches did not work and that the shower facuet was backwards so when I turn the knob to the cold water it got hotter instead.

    The place needs a little fixing here and there and it smell like people smok inside

    Location The other motel guests were extremely loud and disrespectful throughout the night. They were banging very loudly on doors and yelling at each other. It was impossible to sleep. Also, the algae growing on the sidewalk from the air conditioner condensate drain dripping, made the sidewalk dangerously slippery. Almost fell down because of this.

    I will not be booking this motel in the future. It wasn’t clean the walls were so dirty like nobody’s cleaned them in forever!! We had four people in each room we booked and they only left us two towels to use. We asked for extra because we all wanted to swim and they only gave us two for both rooms and said we couldn’t get anymore to shower with until the next morning because the manager wasn’t there to get the key to open the cabinets for the towels. The next morning we went to get the towels and they said that we couldn’t get any because they didn’t have enough to give out. They outside wasn’t clean as well.

    pool water looked green

    We arrived to a hot, dirty, smelly room and nasty place all together. When we arrived the place looked nothing like the photos. The room was dirty on the floor, curtains looked like they had bodily fluids on them as well as the sheets. There was blood stains on the pillow cases and when we asked for clean sheets they brought the sheets to the room and asked us to change them ourselves they didn't have staff to do it. When we removed the pillow cases the pillows were covered in black mold. We took the pillows to the front desk only to be told they can only give us new pillow cases they don't have extra pillows and had no additional rooms to move us to. There was no towels or toilet paper in the room. After all this we asked for a refund immediately and were told there was nothing they could do since we already paid and checked in. We had only been there 15 minutes. We left and found another hotel. I would never recommend anyone staying at this nasty run down motel.

    The place was adequate but bed sheets seemed to have stains on them and the floor had this weird waxy feel to it. Only one light in the bathroom worked (the one in the shower).

    Close to university Rooms was filthy throughout, facility was run down. It looked like nobody really cared

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Asked for two more towels and was told they didn’t have any !!! You get what you pay for

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Worst booking ever ….bad service.. poor cleaning…rooms and place not described as advertised…offered a early check in for the price of $23 extra but not service…complaint will be followed

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    This was a terrible hotel experience; from dog poop in the grass, no towels available, and the staff was not very helpful

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Staff wasn’t bad, they were friendly. BUT The room was disgustingly dirty. There was a visible stain (that literally looked like poop) on the “fixed” bed. So that means housekeeping fixed the bed, saw the nasty stain and said “ah that’s fine” and left it. The floors were coated in a grimey haze as if mopped with super dirty water, the bathroom floors were not swept, there was long hair all over the floor. The bed that I did sleep in had a bunch of crumbs/dirt on it, the tub was so nasty I had to use a towel to step on. The shower curtain needs to be thrown away it was so dingy. I understand the price is affordable, and it’s definitely not the cheapest place I’ve stayed but it was by far the dirtiest place I’ve stayed. I wouldn’t take my kids here.. if you’re alone and just need a place to lay your head for the night, and you’re kinda of rugged and don’t care about a clean room, this is an okay stay. If you’re a family with small kids and looking for an affordable spot for a vacation or something. Spend the extra money and get something better for your family.

    Got a refund and left. This is not a place you spend the weekend. This is where people spend a few hours or live at

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    It was okay for the stay. Pool really did not look clean enough to swim. For the price I guess it was fine.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    No shampoo or conditioner
