Traveled with family and small children, Business traveler
Owners were super nice. I did notice some crumbs on the floor in my room from previous guests but other than that it was great. Rooms were actually nicer than I anticipated.
After reading the negative reviews, I decided to try this location as the reviews were years old. the room was clean, there was a refrigerator, microwave and TV with Cable. Bed was ok. the AC/Heater was easy to use. water was very hot on demand (I need a hot water soak anyways). its was a simple space, clean and basic.
We were fortunate to get one of the recently upgraded rooms (currently four) with tile flooring and a fantastic new walk-in shower. Our stay was short (one-day conference) but we could still appreciate the full fridge, microwave, and oven-stove in the kitchenette. There was a large food-store (Fry’s) across the street. Great place for a longer stay and access to Fry’s for anything you forgot to bring.
Motel and room did not match the pictures or reviews I first saw. Then I found bed bugs. The manager wasn’t concerned or surprised when I said this. Offered me another room, which I quickly declined. Owner refused my refund because they could have put me in another room. Also, the people that were walking around the property, hanging out with staff, were less than desirable. Definitely didn’t feel safe.
Bedsheet had blood stains on it. I slept on the chair. Maid just walked right in without knocking at 650 am. Saw someone sketchy around my moving truck at 1am. Neighbor next door playing guitar til 1230am. Not the best place to stay to wake up and drive 800 miles
I couldn’t even communicate with the owners because their English was so bad so when I tried to call to call to let them know I needed to put down my friends name down to check in, they couldn’t understand me. Then when I got there to check in(after my friend waited almost an hour for me) they told me I booked a room with only one bed and continuously told me I needed to pay an extra 40 dollars. I showed them my app where it clearly stated 2 queen beds. We argued for 20 minutes before he finally rudely grabbed our room key. When we got to the room it was riddled with hair from previous tenants, bugs, and stunk like cigarette smoke. The owners English was so bad I couldn’t even communicate well enough to get a refund so we reluctantly stayed and were woken up at 8 in the morning being told to check out. DO NOT STAY HERE.
I booked a double bed room. Staff wouldn’t give me a two bed bedroom. One of us slept on the floor.
Everything smells horrible (smoke). After showering we dried ourselves with our own clothes since all towels had horrible stains on them.
HORRIBLE experience.
