Not sure why my wife chose to stay at this specific place, probably because of the name? We couldn’t sleep at night. The room and a musky smell to it, we didn’t undress because the sheets looked dirty. The heater was loud as a thunder and had a nasty smell coming from it. Since 5am people are loud, coming and going. Needs a remodel and new sheets to stay in business.

I did not like the permanent travel trailer in the parking lot next to my room. I did not like the dead roaches in the bathroom. Very little water pressure from the shower.

Yuck
It was so dirty. There was stains on all the sheets. There was black things in the bed i would wipe away and within 30 min would be back. I thought maybe bug poop even thoigh i didn't see any bugs. Holes in the walls. Sitting out in the parking lot was a old camper with someone living in it. It was so bad my husband had me get a different room somewhere else for my 2nd night.

The room pictures in Expedia must have been a room they fixed up, because the room we were in was questionable on if it was clean (possibly makeup on the bedspread), in the bathroom paint was peeling off the wall in large section, there was black looking mold in the shower, and the knob for the hot water in the shower fell off (if one likes cold showers). To close the window in the bath one of us walk around to the back of the motel to push it close while the other one stood on the toilet to lock it. The lock for the front window was a 1x1. The black out curtains had multiply small rips through out.

the room was so dusty, the phone had no number to call. the staff was okay but it smelled a lot like their incense. there wss no toilet paper, i had to buy one. there wss few amenities but even then they were hard to open like the shampoo/conditioner. the air vent was sooo dusty and had crumbs in it. it activated my allergies badly. the bed had a few stains on it. also there was still a broken RV in front of our room. you could also see outside through the bottom of the door. there was no additional locks which felt s little scary.
