We will be out the two days of pre-payment but we absolutely could not stay there. The place was dirty, the remote control would... More

Booked this motel because of the great deal in the travelers coupon booklet. People you get what you pay for!

I have never rated any hotel before beacuse of my laziness, but couldn't help complaining about this one. Our room has a disgusting smell; the bathroom door is broken, so it cannot be closed; the bathtub is clogged; there is mold... More

I stayed at this hotel after a day at BG. It was awful. The sink and tub looked like they had not been cleaned, and I just had this overall feeling of "icky". Would rather pay the $ to stay somewhere nice. Meh. More

I never write reviews but I was so moved by the complete nastiness of this motel that I had to say something. My Family did not stay the night... There were bed bugs and very stained sheets. I brought this to the attention of the management but they did not care and would not return my money. I'm a VIP... More
