This motel was an absolute nightmare. The room was completely uninhabitable with a strong cigarette smell, visible mold, a leaking toilet, and dirty sheets. There were even stains on the bed. It was advertised online as clean and smoke-free, but that was false advertising. The conditions were unsafe and disgusting. When we complained, we were told there were no other rooms available, leaving us with no choice but to sleep in our car after paying for a room. This is a serious health and safety concern, and I believe health inspectors need to step in to make sure this property meets even basic standards. It’s shocking that an establishment like this is still open and partnered with a major company like Expedia. I strongly urge future travelers to avoid this place at all costs.
