Room was dirty with bugs. Carpet was disgusting. Hallway filled with tools, boxes, junk. Impossible to pass if fire alarm went off . Fire alarm in room didn’t work. I have pictures if needed to justify my asking for a full refund.

The hallway carpets had more stains than not and when I reached the room and switched on the light switches, roaches scattered. I immediately went back to the front desk and told them I wanted to cancel my reservation and why. She apologized and told me to call expedia back and have them call her to be able to cancel so I did but she had already processed the refund before I could get ahold of anyone at Expedia

Saw 4 roaches as soon as we entered our hotel room. Drunks hanging out in the lobby and on the slot machines. Whole place reeked of cigs. Do not stay here unless you yourself are trash

This place is a shambles. The carpet in the hallways was filthy and terribly stained. My room had insect, silverfish in it. The air conditioner did not work and the floor around the air conditioner was obviously rotted and beginning to cave in. I learned this when I attempted to get the air conditioner to turn on. This was one of the worst places I have ever sta8.

When we pulled up at the property, we saw people standing around outside(unclean) smoking and acting very weird. We didn’t feel safe at all and felt like we needed a shower for just walking in.

This place is dirty, very unfriendly staff very dingy and dirty. Wanted to swim in the pool in the evening but they had no lights!!! This place should not be in business. Tried looking for a different place to stay as soon as I checked in but unfortunately unable to find a different location to stay. DO NOT stay at this motel!!!!!!!!!!
