Roaches/Noisy
Within 5 minutes of being in the room we found roaches in the beds and on the nightstand. Parking lot area had some "self employed" pharmacists that were loud and not anything against him but there was a young autistic man yelling in the parking lot outside the rooms. Apparently he lives around the hotel and comes by nightly to check on the front desk lady, which is very kind of him and we would never hold it against him for just being himself. Hotel listing said it had a pool and that it was open but immediately after I got the confirmation email they sent me another saying that their pool was closed due to covid restrictions. Kinda seemed like some slick false advertising. Lastly, before we found the roaches, I plugged in my cell phone cord and the wall socket sparked, sure that's a fire hazard. I would definitely NOT recommend anyone stay at this hotel, especially people with children, elderly, asthma or other breathing problems or any self respecting clean person for that matter.

Worse Motel ever
Where do I begin with this horrible place. Yhe 1st room we got when me & husband entred the room was trashed toliet was full of poop. Shower was nasty and dirty. I couldn't sleep I was constantly looking for bed bugs and roaches I was constantly itching all night long. They refuse to give us a refund in cash said we had go to go through hotels.com which was false. It took my husband calling cooperate to get our money back they offered a free stay I definitely refused. I will sleep in my car before I ever stay there again. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM HERE!!!

Not what I expected
I’m sorry I was an inconvenience for the front desk staff and interrupted his phone call! With all of these rooms available and he could see I am elderly, because he rudely told me to give him my id, with a bad knee, he put me upstairs in the back. I parked in front of the office so it wasn’t too full.

2/10 Poor

Quite literally the worst place I've ever stayed. Cockroaches everywhere in my first room on the floor and coming out of the walls. I counted 7 but I left the room as fast as possible; there were surely more. Second room I only saw one cockroach. Shoutout though to the front desk worker for switching my room ASAP and checking on me to see if the second room was any better. It's not his fault, but this place needs to be fumigated or something. Just seems like an unsafe place overall and whoever owns it obviously doesn't care. I am a very cheap person so I don't expect luxury and with the price my expectations weren't high, but these rooms are quite literally unsuitable for human occupancy. There were a ton of people staying so obviously they're getting money so maybe do at least the bare minimum? Hoping y'all improve solely for the employees that have to work there and the people who can't afford to stay anywhere else.
