Upon arrival, the the manager made it difficult to check in, rudely demanded my service animal’s registration, $100 cash for incidentals, and on top of that, the shower and phone in the room were not even working. Therefore, I had to walk to the office, wait for the manager to wake up so get me shower fixed. First, he confirmed that the phones don’t work, next he told ME to fix my shower myself. (Where maintenance?!)Then, he asked me to get out of my room he can try. He made me move to the other side of the street while doing so because he seemed terrified of my very friendly service animal. He fixed my shower and when trying to thank him, he literally just walked away and said nothing. As someone who works in this industry, I was shocked at how someone who lacks basic customer service and hospitality skills could a run a hotel. Will never be back again and would NOT recommend to anyone.

The walls were thin, you could hear toilets flushing and people talking in the next room. We were there for one night and it was inexpensive. The bed was comfy and it served its purpose.

Great place to stay

I stayed here two years ago and I can't tell you how different this place is today. The owner Mike is very attentive to guests satisfaction. This is hands down the best place in the area for the rice. I recommend the king size room with upgrade.. best of travels!!!

There is pubic hair all over the bathroom and the sheets are stains with what it looks like pee. I counted over 20 pieces of hair all over the bedding and even saw a dead bug. The manager in charge is extremely disrespectful and dismissive. He will yell at you if you ask for reimbursement for not choosing to stay in a unkept room. Between them not washing the sheet and strands of black curly hairs everywhere. There was also white crumbs all over the remote control for the tv. If I could give this review NO STARS I would. There is no way this meets health standards for guest!! This room is extremely unhigienic and should be reported! Do not stay there!!!
