When we got there they couldn’t find our reservation, then still tried to charge us for nights we already paid for. There were roaches all over the room, baby and big ones, crawling on the walls, on the floors, in the bathroom! About 7:30 am we left and asked for a refund! Managers had the nerve to saw the guests bring the roaches in! It was an infestation

The room was in desperate need of upkeep and repairs. Too many issues to list here but definitely will not be staying at this location again in the future.

Tried to charge me for a room I already paid for. Then tried to charge me a $20 pet fee when the Hotels.Com site specifically said $10. Room was FILTHY, baseboards hadn't been cleaned in years. Stains and scuffs all over walls. Left me one tiny bar of soap that was literally smashed in the package into crumbs. Water was barely above room temp and took a good 5 minutes to warm at all. Grounds had litter and trash thrown about. No wonder I was the only car there in a bust summer season. I wouldn't recommend this place for $8 a nite, never mind $80!!!

The picture of the room online isn't the room you get. Patched up holes all over the walls. The bathroom was undescribable. Avoid the hole in the floor when you walk into the room that's only covered by the carpet. Cockroaches everywhere. It was disgusting. And this is review is for room 103 but I'm sure the rest of the hotel is the same.

Room Lacked Many Things

Room was run-down. The sink and toilet looked fairly new, and the bed was alright. Towels were stained and shower curtain was badly stained. The pictures will tell the rest of the story, but here is what was lacking: no place to put a suitcase, no place to hang clothes, not even a wall hook, no shelves, no toilet paper dispenser, no bath mat, no coffee maker, no cups that can be used in a microwave (microwave was rusty and greasy see picture), no Bible, no available wall outlets, exposed wiring from an old fixture, moldy bathroom ceiling.

I booked this hotel for a friend who had a roadside emergency. Once he got there, they charged him again, after I’d already paid. Had to go through Expedia and got a partial refund. But the room was absolutely filthy. My friend didn’t even feel comfortable changing clothes or showering there it was so nasty. The police showed up twice during the night when he was there, once for the neighboring room where the guest was having paranoid delusions of being watched/room broken into.

A real dump

I paid cash, then stayed in room for 30 min. And left to find a better motel. A tent in the middle of a busy, filthy train track would have been better. There was no ice,no tv, no glasses, no soap, no wifi,. The sheets and pillow cases were marked and dirty. There was poor lighting, holes in walls and furniture. Dangerous front step for wife. Nothing was plugged in when we arrived. He tried to get more money. He said i got the best room. (WOW) We left without getting our money back. You should be ashamed of yourselves for representing such a disgraceful dump.

Not only is the hotel in disrepair (big holes punched out in the drywall and the door; a locking door that needs jiggling to open; cigarette holes in the bedspread), I saw two crawling bed bugs on my sheets before leaving. The owner has not yet refunded my money despite numerous attempts by me in person and by Expedia representatives to gain his permission to refund my room. How dare you charge someone for a room that they couldn't stay in because it was infected with bedbugs. How dare you refuse to accommodate Expedia service reps who ask permission to cancel the transaction. The owner yelled loudly at me and kicked me out of his office, though I was being polite, clear, factual, and firm. I didn't ask for extra money for cleaning my clothing or luggage. I just wanted to be refunded my charge for the room which was unusable, dirty, and infested with biting parasites.
