Where to begin. First it definitely did not seem anyone working there knew what was going on. Our room the air conditioning did not work, the window did not have a screen on it so when we openned it to try and cool down the room bugs would obviously come in so couldnt do that. The bathroom shower was peeling the moment we turned the water on. The floor had weird patch marks on it. I definetly would not book here again

Saw a baby Cockraoch, but atleast it was dead I guess.. Shower and bathroom were very wore and dirty.. Sign says recently renovated, so hopefully my room just hadn't been renovated yet? lol.. Beds were pretty hard. Ceiling panels missing in the halls, no elevator so handicap be aware. Stairwell smelt heavily of weed.. There was a plastic cup in the floor of the corner of the room, so makes me wonder how well it was cleaned 😬 lol but it was cheap!!

You get what you pay for

For a $50 hotel I would wasn’t expecting much and I was right for feeling that way. Room was embarrassingly sparse. Tv didn’t work. Bed was uncomfortable. Light was so bright from the hallway spilling in the though gaps in the door, it was bright all night long. There had obviously been smoking in my room at some point (not just tobacco) and the smell wasn’t covered up well. It gets two stars and not one simply because it’s the cheapest motel in the area and you shouldn’t expect very much when you pay so little. I will say the guy who checked me in, did try to be friendly and interactive.
