When I arrived at 3:30 pm to check in they didn’t have a room ready and asked me to come back an hour and a half later but I couldn’t as I had a funeral at 4pm. They cleaned a room for me in 15 minutes. It was a single bed and I booked a double bed room. There was no hand soap, no towels to even dry your hands. I was appreciative they rushed to get a room for me but booked the extra bed for my dogs as I have a large German shepherd (130lbs) and needed the extra space and got no refund for the smaller room. The door didn’t stay closed unless it was deadbolted. The bathroom door didn’t shut either. The workers were very nice though

A dive. Cheap but not worth it.Unsafe area hotel under complete renovation. Was deceived by an excellent review on the app. Won’t stay again

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
I’m not even sure this is a genuine hotel. There were almost no cars there, and yet they claimed through the closed door that it was “sold out”even though I had a reservation. Very unsettling to grapple with at 9:30 at night while tired and traveling.

Not what we paid for.
We reserved a room with two queen beds. All they had was a room with a single double bed. Made sleeping almost impossible. Air conditioning was too cold.

Ehhh
Left almost immediately. Paid for a room that was suppose to be ready I even called ahead and let them know what time we would be there. We pull up and it looks run down. This was suppose to be a nice spot for me and my soon to be fiance to spend the night along our travels and it just wasn't. We had to wait almost an hour after checking in for the room to be ready. The facility reaked of weed and was extremely loud with music blaring. We left withing 5 hours!! The TV was going out more than in with the service she wasn't comfortable and I admit neither was I just not what they make it seem on the website we were highly disappointed and dissatisfied to say the least!!
