DO NOT STAY HERE - it’s horrible!
This was the most disgusting place I have ever stayed. The sidewalk outside the hotel had food scraps, trash, and used condoms along it. The common hallway that connected all the rooms smelled heavily of marijuana. The room itself was not clean at all - stains on the walls and curtains, residue on the counters and surfaces, stains on the carpeting. (We never walked on the floor in our bare feet due to concerns about what we might be walking on.) The worst part was the smell - the room smelled like marijuana and sweat. The only other room available in the area was over $300/night, so we powered through since it was for just one night, but I did not sleep well because I was so uncomfortable.

Our first room had a one foot cut on the ceiling and was dripping. The second room was clean but smelled of smoke and the doors would not close properly. In the morning my daughter and I left and were cornered by a man leaving the room we would have had the night before followed by two ladies of the night and a guard. They were yelling about accusations of the man hitting one of the girls who admitted to being sax workers and asked us to call the police. This was under cameras so we had no worry to call the police and get in the middle as soon as there was distance between the men and women. I suggested they contact the desk who had camera access to help make a report. My daughter and I quickly left and would never recommend this dirty place. The staff were the only decent thing.

Hallways were very dirty and smelled disgusting. When I got to the room it was filthy, and there were bed bugs literally on the pillow. I took photos. I went straight to the front desk to ask for a refund. He was very unhelpful and told me I have to contact Expedia to get a refund. When speaking to Expedia they tried to contact the front desk to ask for a refund, they were told the clerk couldn’t authorize it. When they tried to call back a second time the hotel wouldn’t answer. I’m still waiting to find out if Expedia can get a refund, but the hotel is less than helpful. This place is filthy. Do not stay here.

Wake up call came in one hour late. No lids for morning coffee. Very sparse breakfast. Minimal truck stop type of motel. For $189 per night, one would and should expect more. The night clerk/manager responded quickly when I told him the fire alarm was going off in my room and though he was courteous, he shrugged his shoulders when I asked him for which local restaurants delivered and motioned his thumbs over his mobile phone to indicate I should look them up. Basic impression: my presence or patronage didn’t seem to matter at all. I will avoid this facility and recommend to others to do themselves a favor and find another.

Check in was a challenge. First room did not have a doorknob on the bathroom. Second room was directly across from the very noisy ice machine and smelled strongly of smoke. Third room had a big patch in the ceiling but was otherwise workable. Person in the office was super helpful and kept giving us keys to try each room but it took too long to find a useable room. Rooms each need a bit of help to bring them up to snuff. Cost was reasonable for the area but not for the state of the hotel. Please keep working on the remodel.

This is my hometown and I’m just visiting so I love the area surrounding the hotel. The hotel itself isn’t terrible but it isn’t great either. The room is ok, not great but good enough. The staff is horrendous. Unfortunately, unhelpful, and only did what they absolutely had to. Didn’t tell us what room we were in, where to park, how to get to the room, or explain any of the amenities or how breakfast works. Or even if there’s breakfast.

We did not get the room we booked and paid for. The locks on the doors to the hotel didn’t work so you didn’t need a key to get into the hotel. The carpet in the hallway was dirty. It looked like it was never vacuumed. There was garbage in the hallway. The room was unsanitary. We ran out of toilet paper and we were told they didn’t have anymore. There were no tissues. Luckily I had wipes with me. The floor turned our socks black we had to wear shoes the whole time. There were holes in the walll with wires coming out. There were holes in the screen for the window. There was caked up dirt behind the stand that held the phone and lamp. The phone was not even plugged into the wall jack, so that didn’t work. The jack was somewhere in the dirt, dust, and garbage behind the bed. The sheets and blankets were dirty and had burn holes. The fridge looked like it hadn’t been cleaned the freezer was frozen over it had never been defrosted. There was mold in the bathroom. The tub was so gross we had to wear flip flops to take a shower. For some reason there was toilet paper stuffed into the door peak hole. It was a nightmare. There were sketchy people in the parking lot. I would recommend sleeping in the car instead of this place.

The hotel felt dangerous specially for someone that is coming out of town- paying extra $100 to stay in a safe hotel is well worth it- until now Expedia did not refund my money although they promised to ask the hotel manager to refunded promptly since I didn’t stay at that hotel fearing for my safety.

My husband is a trucker and I am a nurse. I took a road trip with him and we had a delivery and a lay over in New Jersey. we decided we were gonna book a hotel instead of spending another night in the truck. When we arrived at the hotel the hostess looked at us funny not sure if she taught we were homeless or what was her taught but we were assigned room 230 on entering the room the carpet was visibly filthy, the room smell like garbage mixed with smoking and there was a portable heater on the dressing table. We immediately went back to the office and the receptionist was not very pleasant but she change the room and gave us a better smelling one with a regular heater. My husband accidentally left his sweater in the old room and when we realized and ask for someone to check the staff was very rude. I wish we never went there.

I think Motel 8 is better and clean; the hotel smells nasty, they are people smoking marijuana everywhere, was a guy in the parking area offering drugs for sale, and the room was horrible; please not a clean place and not a safe place. I was there for two hours and left. Stay away from this place. I can’t believe Expedia advertising this Hotel. Shame on you!!!
