Roaches
Been there twice. It is the cheapest room you can get. So low expectations. The first time - saw a roach before we left. We were close to the office though so maybe that helped, maybe they spray the office area. This time - much further down the hall. Once I started walking down the hall I just kept walking faster to get out of the stinky hall. Smelled like a dog kennel. Room didn't smell. Sheets didn't look cleaned. Roaches found early on. Didn't spend the night.

This place should be torn down. The rooms were not cleaned, the trash can was dirty with someone else’s filth with no plastic bag. Bugs all over the place on bed, carpet and everything. Fried chicken left under the bed. I’m so glad I only stayed 1 night. I didn’t see no bed bugs but I’m sure the whole motel is infested. Crumbs all over the place. I would turn this motel into a migrant shelter that’s how disgusting this place is. Worst place I’ve stayed at in my life

There were roaches. I haven’t killed a roach in years. The fridge has been cracked open for a while and the wood is damaged and the carpet I was wet. The sheets had a red smear on them. Not blood, but a red smear. And There wasn’t any courticy soap. And of course the bathtub was filthy.

We had to sleep in our car because there were roaches all over the room. Crawling in the bed and falling from the ceiling. It was awful.
