    I LIKED NOTHING I LIKED NOTHING. SMELLING DRUGS ALL NIGHT AND PEOPLE HANGING OUT IN THE PARKING LOT WHO DID NOT HAVE ROOMS

  • Engine customer May 2026

    The property was clean. It has cable. Everything was clean like the carpet, the beds, the tub, the counter the microwave but, on the surface of the blow dryer looked a little dirty and used, but other than that, everything was great

    They admitted that they gave away my room. I arrived later that night but no reason to disregard my booking. Staff was standing in the dark with no lights on as if she did not want guests. Weirdest thing I'd ever seen

    The only thing I liked was leaving, which I did a night early. I elected to nap in my truck rather than spend another night. I barely slept the night before because of the action in the room next to me. First, I am a seasoned traveler, having stayed in hotels and motels around the world. I am also not an expect-the-world-for-a-cheap-price type of guy. Secondly, I am blue collar, ride motorcycles in a club and have slept on the ground more times that I can remember. Lastly, I do shop value and rent on the basis of my trip. This was a quick 3 day trip to pick up a trailer and I just needed a place to hang my head. So, yes, I did go cheap for that reason, and I thought I knew what I rented. I was shocked when I arrived because it was nothing like pictured. It is also a transient motel, which is not in the description. It is a small motel, 1 building and the entire building wreaked. Stale smoke permeated the entire complex, different odors throughout the day, some pleasant, most not. Checking in was bizarre, and should have sent me running. There is a sign on the door to go around to the side door and when you do it is locked and they buzz you in, felt like I was entering a prison instead of a motel. This was every time you went to the office, no matter what time. I went out for a walk and was talking to a gentleman in wheel chair. I heard about his back, his legs, his knees and then he hit me up for $20 because he was short for his room. The entire complex is rundown and in need of repair. The room is old, stale and they were in need of new towels and bedding10 years ago. It was like drying up and sleeping on paper. There is no room makeup, just a couple of towels thrown on the bureau. I could go on but it is time to forget this place and Booking.com should also.
