The property didn't have a checkin at the desk, you had to go to the hotel next door to check in. The area was also somewhat desolate unless you went over about half a mile. The room itself was OK but not for the price. Little flys everywhere and bedding was torn. Access to the highway was the highlight.

Found an opened package of s*x cream underneath the extra toilet paper roll. Looks like there is illicit activity happening at this location. Checked out early and front desk staff was extremely unhelpful. Didn’t get any refund.

Please don’t give customers dirty beds to sleep on
Nice front desk and housekeeping, but pretty nasty bed, it had a large dried up yellow stain that can be seen going through blankets and white bed sheets, both beds had large holes most likely caused by someone’s cigarette. Everything else was good, AC and refrigerator was cold and good. They gotta make sure beds are clean and with no nasty stain, it was pretty disgusting. Overall was ok.
