Upon arrival check in was probably the only thing good out of this whole stay. Got into the hotel/ motel was filthy in hallways, floors etc. Getting into the room One bed was covered in long and short pieces of hair, I completely stripped bed and got clean sheets from downstairs. Bathroom floor seemed like it hadn’t been cleaned in months and the kitchen floor either. Had to make a quick run to dollar tree to get items to clean room. I would have rather stayed in my car for the days that we were there on business. 2/10
This was how filthy the floors were.

There were several fights in the hallways between people and in the lobby with the staff. We were there a total of 4 days. Our bathroom, it smelt horrible of cigarette smoke, we were out of shampoo and had limited towels for the amount of people that were registered for that room. My kids were very skeptical on staying alone in the hotel due to all the fights.

Every single person that works here is super friendly. The manager is a real nice guy and the house keepers work hard to keep the rooms clwan. I literally saw one of the ladies climb on top of the counter to clean above the cabinets, wow!
