The room smelled like cigarettes it was clean, but not clean. There was a deposit required upon me, checking in and they had no information about my stay until they looked it up.

You get what you pay for and i payed for a cheap hotel room for 4 nights. That being said the room was filthy there was literally hair embedded into the shower walls with filth. There where hand prints on the head board from previous guests it was gross. I didn't expect the best but i thought it would at least be clean.

The proprietor and his wife were kind and helpful. The room was affordable and met my needs for one night on the road. The air conditioning worked. The room had a mini fridge and a microwave. No coffee. There was no top sheet on the bed. There was no mattress cover-just a bottom sheet and a well worn bedspread.

Site said double bed and showed pictures of 2 beds, but the room only had 1 bed. First room we got to had a leak as well. They moved us to a new room that smelled very moldy.

The room smelled like cat urine as soon as I walked in. The air conditioner barely worked. The walls had holes everywhere. I have a cut on the bottom of my foot from the baseboard coming off and I stepped on it. The floor was so filthy I had black feet as soon as I walked out of the bathroom. The drawers had someone's fake nails in them and one outlet in the whole room. And they tried to charge me more money at check in after I paid

Should offer a refund especially when the expedia app makes it easy to fk up the dates. Also the place looked like a total dump where crackheads go

I called in before booking to see how much were incidental security deposit and they told me there was none. As I arrived after I had booked to check in, the motel manager was asking for a $10 security deposit. I informed him that I called earlier that day and confirmed that they don’t charge security deposits. Also the rooms were not clean, the bed sheets were dirty they smelled like wet dirty dog.

One of the worst travel experiences of my life. I was given a room without any bedding. I booked a room with two beds and ended up with one — no sheets, no pillowcases, just a filthy, old blanket. I had to sleep fully dressed, wrapped in what looked like something pulled from a dumpster. They told me I was lucky because it was the last room available. Lucky? The place looked like an abandoned military barrack or a shelter for animals. The bathroom was beyond disgusting — no toilet paper, the filthiest tub I’ve ever seen, and a toilet that made me question my life choices. The owner clearly doesn’t care. This wasn’t just bad — it was disturbing.
