2/10 Terrible

Worst property I’ve ever stayed at! Room was fine but very basic. Property looked like it was abandon!
Bryan, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

The good: AC cold Air, Hot Water worked well. The Bad: Poorly managed. No Coffee, Bed mattress, sheets pillow covers reused/odor. Had to pick up a room coffee machine, it had previously used coffee glued, small roaches inside. Front desk so helpless, naive, like no issues!!!
Himanshu, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Good experience
Samuel, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

The property is fine if you are looking to save money. But it is bare bones. No extra touches. Example, no tissues. Walls are bare. Quality is below what I expect from a 4-star facility. 4 out of 10, maybe. 4 out of 5, never.

doug, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Not bad for a motel

We were on a weekend ball trip with my daughter. It was good for one night and very clean and remodeled rooms. Outside environment was a bit sketchy but we didn’t have any issues
Derix, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

👍
Angelle, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

When I arrived after a long trip, the room was dirty, infested with cockroaches, and had no hot water. I reported the issues to Expedia and requested a refund for one night so I could move to another hotel, but they denied it even after I provided photos. To make things worse, I was abruptly woken up the next morning by a loud knock a hotel staff member rudely told me to leave because they claimed the night wasn’t paid. I showed him my receipt and he left without even apologizing. Completely unacceptable. I would never stay here again.
Marcela, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Roaches in the rooms. Trash in the parking lot everywhere and the bed sheets had a stain on them.
Tyler, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

The rooms was remodeled but the staff didn't bring towels nor clean daily
Monte, 4-night trip
