Travelled during Thanksgiving 2011 and couldn't be more disappointed with this motel. I had my toddler travelling with me and my husband and wanted a non-smoking room, however, we could smell smoke all over the corridor and room we were given. It was the first unpleasant experience it this hotel - the rest followed as we entered our room: thin,... More

Definitely get what you pay for. Cheap price = cheap quality. I was afraid for myself and my family to sleep on the beds. We got two rooms with two queen beds each, they both had an odd smell to them. One beds blankets, sheets and pillows had hair all over them. One bed had what looked like old blood... More

My husband and I stayed here just before Christmas. We normally stay at mid-price hotels like Choice or Holiday Inn, but this trip based on the economy and wanting to save money we thought that we would give this budget place a try. BIG MISTAKE. It took the girl (Aunt Jemimah look-a-like) almost a half and hour to check us... More

This place is absolutely the most disrespectful place. I booked the hotel and needed to cancel my reservations because I am stationed at Edwards AFB. We had an aircraft mishap where we had an airplace crash! A T-38 jet! I am a medic in the USAF and an EMT I had to respond to the incident and they would not... More

Online pictures were misleading. Broken locks and windows. unfriendly night staff. Had 7 (ages 5-16) with us, but this was not a family hotel. Not a very good location. reviews on website we booked through were misleading (must have been the hotel owner who wrote the good reviews) would never recommend to anyone. More

Now the hotel itself wasn't especially bad, the room was large and clean, the staff were friendly and helpful and the complimentary breakfast was good with a variety of items on offer. It's not in a good area though. At night there were kids hanging around on the car park. We went out for food nearby and felt very uncomfortable... More

Located in a sketchy part of town (but close to the trolley to go downtown). got into the room which was a normal motel room and went to the bathroom (which had a sanitary seal on it) lifted the lid and there were OH YES spots of #2 on the NON CLEANED TOILET SEAT. The night staff was on the... More

We travel all over the United States. This place was very dirty and my husband and I both contracted a bad case of scabies here. (With a 7-day infestation period, the doctor pinpointed it to the very middle of our 11 day stay!) If the staff spent as much time attending to housekeeping issues as they do standing outside smoking,... More

Let me start by saying, "We got more than what we bargained for!" This motel was literally the filthiest place we have ever been to. Upon entering, the hallways were dirty and had a horrible smell of stale cigarettes. Our room not only had a horrible sewage smell but the carpets were so dirty that we had to wear our... More
