    Customer service

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The staff were disrespectful hanging up the phone while I'm asking them questions about my refund. They didn't even refund my $71 back and it wasn't even the day of my stay yet

    nothing

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Do not stay here. There are bugs and stains on many surfaces as well as cigarette burn holes in the bedding. I did not stay the night and had to find a new motel due to these conditions and despite being promised by the clerk to get a refund, I am yet to receive it.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Mold and cigarette smell, very out of maintenance, sticky surfaces. Longer you look more problems you see

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Nothing really. Would not go to again Shower dirty. Only 1 set of towels for 4 so got more and they had stains on them. Lights missing and broken. Smelled of smoke. Could barely understand owner. Bed covers had holes in them. Small room. Price high

    Everything, the whole place smelled like urine

    If you're just looking for a place to sleep, this will do.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The room was clean but the place needs some improvement. Bathroom is old, faucets needs replacement and the airconditioning need some cleaning as the smell coming out is nasty. There was no access for charging close to the bed. We just slept for few hours and check out early.

    Don’t stay here unless you absolutely have no other choice. Don’t believe the photos online. Good thing we only stayed 1 night. The neighborhood is quiet. When we got there I went to the office which needs a much needed makeover. The gentleman at the counter must live there because office door was open to living. What a mess. Then we get to our room. It had a terrible order. Furniture is all old and chipped and mattress didn’t fit the bed frame. Tv wouldn’t turn on. The floor was very sticky as well as the tv control. Tub had parts broken, lamps had no lampshade. The front door looked as someone tried to get in with screwdriver all banged up. Walls looked as if they hadn’t been painted since it was built. There were big holes in baseboards and we didn’t have any towels. I would not recommend this motel! And it definitely way over priced at 179.00 a night. Don’t always believe the photos posted. Read all the reviews before you book.

    The gentleman that left his phone in the office and his family from Southern California. Nothing, kicked out before 10 am. It stated 11am check out. The manager started packing my and associates luggage . He stared he asked everyone to check out at 10 am this Saturday morning. My friend is handicapped and has special needs , daily help even to use the restroom. For over a hundred dollars a night cash and having to endure for any reason handicapped or not is something that is not a normal practice within the human services category or motel / hotel system. Ive built and managed many resorts including the Sands , motel 6 , the Rodes inn, motel 8 , motel 5 , well all of them. Thats not including the rest of the world . Im just saying, my friend has had serious complications in his life and is a very nice and agreeing person. Be kind ?.

    This is a very run down old motel that appears to have not been updated ever, including the computer system when checking in. I was the only one checking in & it took at 15-20 minutes for the man to write out my info. The mattresses are very very old & springy. The sheets were covered in hair & nothing in the room seemed to be cleaned thoroughly, so we went to the local Costco & bought bedding, a comforter & pillows as the room didn’t feel clean at all. The room smelt like someone smoked a few packs of cigarettes in it for weeks & we left the window open & put on AC but couldn’t rid the smell. The positives are the location as there were plenty of food places in the surrounding areas & that no one bothered us with noise or anything else.

    Avoid!! I stayed here as a last minute same-day booking cause there wasn’t much else available that wasn’t $300+/night. Made the incredibly dumb mistake of thinking the 4.6 rating was out of 5 and not 10, in part because how could anywhere that’s $150/night (Saturday price) be this bad. The sheets had sand and hair in them and weren't even fitted sheets, just flat sheets draped over plastic covered mattresses. All walls and doors were stained and some had holes/damage. Cigarette burns in sheets, walls and window curtain (even though a “non smoking” room). Burn hole in curtain was “patched” with a sparkly children’s sticker. Floors were dirty to the point we didn’t want to be barefoot at all. Door peep hole was stuffed with a tissue (why?). TV was just propped against the wall without a stand or fastener. Mini fridge didn’t work. Water took ten minutes to get warm (I only left it running that long with the thought that I might use a lack of hot water to get my money back). Shower curtain had black spots (mold?). Did not in any way feel clean or completely safe. The only way we made it thought the night was by using our camping sleeping pads that we thankfully had and keeping the heater on so we wouldn’t have to use their blankets. How this place even has 4.6/10 is beyond me. Guy/owner at the front desk seemed nice? He’s either a fraud or just in way over his head with this mess of a place.
