I would never stay here again. The place is absolutely filthy and rundown. Spend the extra money and stay somewhere SAFER and CLEANER. The floors were so dirty, the bath was dirty, outlets didn’t work, curtains had rips. Homeless people right outside the property. Just avoid this place

The staff member that checked me in was rude tossed my id and check in paperwork and key towards me instead of handing it to me. The bathroom was dirty the shower curtains had stains. The bathtub was filthy. The TV doesn’t work. Would not recommend this location again.

It's ok.... If you just need a place to sleep for a few days. Seems like some guests are semi permanent. Which is fine because we all have times that we are in transition. Just set the bar low. But it's a place to sleep.

One of the Worst Hotel Experiences I've Ever Had

This was by far one of the most horrible rooms I’ve ever stayed in—and the worst part is, it wasn’t even cheap. Due to a highway closure, I was forced to find a last-minute place to stay. Most nearby hotels were fully booked, and unfortunately, this one was among the few with availability. I chose it because the price suggested it would be somewhat decent, and the photos on the website made it look clean and comfortable. What a lie. The room was filthy, outdated, and completely unacceptable for the price I paid. I immediately asked the front desk to move me to a cleaner, more decent room, but they claimed the hotel was full and that this was the only option. It was past midnight and I was exhausted, so I had no choice but to stay. The towels were disgusting, and the shower was in such bad shape we didn’t even use it. I wouldn't wish this experience on anyone. This place is misleading customers with false advertising and overcharging for substandard conditions. Absolutely unacceptable.

We are traveling from Arizona to Alaska and starting a YouTube channel about our journey. It is hard to find a place to stop and take the time to clean out our camper and enjoy the trip without people accusing us of trying to squat on their property. This place provided just what we were looking for
