“Avoid at all costs”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed November 28, 2010

I am a very seasoned traveler so this is not the review of a sheltered shut-in. The hotel is terrible in all ways. Very very dated, very dirty, very poorly decorated, very skeevy, very gross. Yes there is free wifi and a continental breakfast served on a filthy shelf in the tiny and filthy office. The rooms are filth, and will have you afraid of touching anything. The lights have wires hanging out and the doors lock but do not seal leaving a space through which people can see in or out. The fridge is covered in sticky dirt and the carpet has a film over it. Spend a few dollars and stay at the Ramada directly across the street or you will regret it.

“Absolutely Horrid”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed October 25, 2010

The hotel looks like it's straight out of a scary movie. There were rusty nails outside of our room's door. The room was filthy, dusty, smelled like a horrible room spray, broken and mismatched lamps with duct tape keeping them together. The sheets were FILTHY. When I brought this to the manager's (Jack...he was a complete jerk) he argued with me. After 30 minutes of arguing (loud, screaming....on his end) he refunded my full stay and we got the HELL out of there....DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!

4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 12, 2010 via mobile

The room was a bit shabby. When we tried the microwave in the room it was broken. The mattresses needed to be replaced at least 2 years ago.

“Still A Dump!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed October 3, 2010

Room smelled like a Nursing Home...disinfectant! Had the Handicapped Room so the Shower was HUGE! Good water flow. No way to lock the front sliding Window. Hotel is next to the 101 Highway Onramp so vehicles reving up the Engines constantly out front. DO NOT EAT at the Cajun Cafe Across the Street! Bugs crawling all over the Walls! Owner knows about them.....yet still open for business......The Continental Breakfast here is a joke....look elsewhere for food.

“Very cheap, and it showed”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed September 2, 2010

The room was a bit cramped and the bathroom facilities were pretty poor. The parking was pretty full and we had to park in a space that we probably shouldn't have. There's not much round to entertain you and the staff seemed baffled when we came to check in.
