The room was filthy. The microwave had food splatters, and fridge door had food gunk. Did not microwave after seeing the condition. One towel’s corner was literally shredded with worn. I had to put towels on carpet floor to walk around. Carpet felt so cringe. Only space I was comfortable to touch was bed. Left without even the shower as the whole room felt so dirty, dusty and musty. Probably the worst ever motel I have stayed. Couldn’t give any lower than 1 star

Nice Place but they need to take better care of it

This place needs a lot of work, the staff are friendly place is nice on the outside, but this place needs an upgrade. And a deep clean. As soon as I opened the door the room had a damp feeling, and I instantly knew bugs. Moved the microwave a layer of dust not a big deal but showed the cleaning effort of the place, moved on to the refrigerator and under it as infestation of cockroachs. That too not a big deal but if i was going to stay three nights I would need to treat the room. Went to home depot got some bug treatment and cleaning spray and a tarp to sleep on. Cleaned everything doors bathroom, and table scrubed every nook sprayed should have got a discount for the amount of work i did, but whatever, after the deep clean I felt comfortable enough to sleep and had a very pleasant stay.
