Hot water?
There was NO water coming out of the shower - I was ready to go to the office to get my money back and then 10 minutes later the water comes on. Not good and the water was only luke warm.

It was a dump with shady people staying at it. I was afraid to go from my vehicle to my room. My room was non-smoking and it reeked of smoke and there were cigarette burns in bed linens. I will never stay at this motel again.

DO NOT use my name. I'm a senior and it was dark and raining when I checked in. I parked near the door and was the only car in the lot. The lady at the front desk had me go outside and park "properly" or she would not check me in. RUDE. The room wasn't clean as there were small shards of glass on the floor, the sheets were stained and had cracker crumbs. This is my 1st time at a bad review and I don't want my name published. That area didn't look safe and the property grounds were dark.

2/10 Poor

The room had large cabinet doors as if to hold clothes on hangers or to "hide" a TV. The doors were completely broken off the hinges and were lying down inside the cabinet. Outlets seemed ready to come out of the wall if you plugged anything in and took out the plug such as camera battery chargers. The property was damaged, but we were told we had to pay a 75 dollar fee up front in case of damage. We had to go immediately back to check in to confirm the damage already done to the property was done before we arrived. Then we had to wait for someone to check the room before leaving in order to get our "damage" money back. Horrible room, Fridge unplugged and warm, even light bulbs unscrewed when you get into the room. You try light switches before finding out they simply unscrew the bulbs to save pennies! Eco friendly is turning off the lamp, not unscrewing the bulb.

For the price this definitely could have been a lot nicer. It’s a sketchy area, you literally check in outside at a window. Front desk lady was somewhat friendly at check in but when my husband went back for an extra pillow she was not. Gated parking area with code but the parking lot is still sketchy. Homeless man sitting out front when we checked out, tweakers nearby. The shower and toilet are not great, they are the original ones I’m sure from when building was built. Blow dryer didn’t work and we found a staff member and she gave us another one. Couch in the room also had stains on it. Walls super thin and you can hear the nearby busy street all night long. The floors are non carpeted which I would have liked if they were clean but you could see stuff spilled on them so I know they aren’t mopped daily. My husband walked from the shower to the bed to change and the bottom of his feet were black. Beds were comfy but pillows sucked and when checking for bed bugs, the bottom mattress (box spring type) was gross and stained. Our blanket on the bed had a cigarette burn in it and the sheets had a few stains. We were in a non smoking room and it didn’t smell like smoke but it still didn’t smell good. Like a musty smell. I can’t say that I would stay here again.

Was uncomfortable with have to check in standing outside, not in a lobby, through what was probably bullet proof glass. A little challenging to have a gate code to enter the parking lot which was behind iron gates. I selected the property as it was directly adjacent to I-10 but don't think I would return.

The pictures are deceiving. The property is run down. The area is not great. There are a lot of homeless people hanging around the area. There is a gate with a code to keep unwanted people out, but observed a homeless person typing in the code for a guest. Shampoo but no conditioner. No soap on our last day. I’m not sure what we paid for this room because it was bundled with our car rental and airline tickets. But I guess you get what you pay for. You weren’t allowed in the “lobby”. You had to talk to the staff through an outside window. Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was clean, but had mold above the shower, cracked sink, loose metal strip around door which stuck out and could be a hazard. All in all, I wouldn’t stay there again.
