Disappointing.
The hotel smelled of marijuana and cigarettes, it was disappointing. Sketchy people were hanging around the hotel, did not feel safe at all. Just felt dirty when we left. Will not be staying again.

This hotel is in my top 3 worst places I have ever stayed at. Non-smoking hotel that smelled of cigarettes and pot. Holes in walls, burn stains on the tub, no screen on the windows that opened fully, and toilet not cleaned. Hotel is noisy.

Sketchy people hanging out, smelled like smoke in the room, and was not visually appealing . Bed sucked and A/C was nearly inoperable.TV remote needed batteries and there was only limited selection of channels.

Horrible stay. Curtain had holes and stains on them, stains on the floor, the entire place reaked of cigarettes, the AC would make loud noises, the bathroom was falling apart. Looked like nobody maintained the hotel nor the rooms. The shower head was broken and so was the counter. The local homeless people would come and stay around the place.

We only stayed one night here and basically only to sleep. But I would not recommend a long term stay here. Hallways smelled like cigarettes'. Shower did not work right and the tub was peeling. The headboard came off the wall in the middle of the night and fell on us. It was way, way over priced for what we walked into. It served its purpose but I will be sure not to book again.

Terrible Experience, Stay Away.
The hotel was run down with many rooms locked with padlocks and messed up doors. Sketchy people walked over to my work truck and were walking around looking at my stuff. The front desk clerk first put me in a room with another guest then they put me in the wrong room with one bed instead of two.

The girl at the front desk was very friendly, professional, and polite. However, the hotel itself in a terrible state of disrepair. The room had blood stained curtains, dirty sheets, and a bathtub that was in desperate need of being replaced. I honestly do not understand how this facility has not been shut down by the health department. We could not bring ourselves to stay here for a single night and ended up leaving.

The only thing good about this facility is the friendly front desk staff. The room was not clean and the shower/tub was dirty and stained, which I refused to use. Although the pillow cases were clean, the pillows themselves were stained with yellow, dirty areas. When I arrived the water to the toilet was turned off. Once I turned the water on the toilet ran continuously after flushing. My booking stated that there would be a refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, and iron/ironing board, none of which were there. The front desk did supply me with a refrigerator after I made a complaint. The microwave in the lobby was disgustingly filthy. At 2 a.m. I was awakened by a female yelling in the hall repeatedly for someone to leave her alone or she would call the police. It became obvious that people stayed there full time. Safety was a major issue. I understand that a budget motel will only supply the minimum, but cleanliness and safety is expected. I have stayed at other America's Best Value Inns and have never run into such a disgusting place. NEVER AGAIN.
