Avoid this place!
Unless you've looking for a "no tell motel", avoid this place. Unfortunately I missed the small print on the website description that stated "no check-in after 9pm". Because of a delay I didnt arrive in time and had to make another arrangement for the first night. I wish I hadn't gone back for the next two nights of my reservation. Shady folks hanging around, poor customer service, not a good experience.

Never again!
The room was almost broken into by a white man in a hoodie. Luckily my fiancé and I heard him opening the window when he began to stick his head in we yelled “HEY” at him and he took off running. The next morning we looked behind the dresser and there was drug paraphernalia behind it! The place was very outdated doesn’t look like the pictures at all. The mattresses at old and tanish yellow looking they also didn’t have fitted sheets just one sheet tucked into the boxspring and a blanket. Luckily we had pillow cases. From now on I will spend a few more dollars to stay somewhere nicer.

No remote for the tv. People were banging on the door trying to get in . I open the door and there were these two Spanish people standing there trying to get in saying they were given my room number. Sink in bathroom not thorough clean.the bed spreads had paint on them I tried using the dirty phone to call the front desk the phone ranged for over an hour. No one answered. People look like crackheads never again will I ever stay in a place like that . I want to get a refund I paid money but slept in my car.

Its a motel, not a hotel
The doors to the rooms are electronic and they malfunction often, to the extent that you may find yourself unable to get back in your room. There is no staff at certain hours, which is a problem if you get locket out of your room due to a malfunctioning door lock. I was given a room that had garbage in ita closet and its air conditioning unit caught fire. After the fire alarm went off I was fiven another room, but this one had a shower that was full of dirt and sand. By the time i realised I would not be able to shower it was already too late as there was no staff. I went to sleep without showering.

Was unable to check-in. Attendant's whereabouts were unknown as no one picked up on phone calls or answered the door. Waited for over an hour with no response, so had to book elsewhere. The place looked quite deserted.and lacking maintainance and cleaning for a long time. Amazingly, the motel was not completely vacant.

There are several good motels in that area. This was a dive, poorly maintained. No TV, no Microwave, no fridge, no AC, just a plug-in fan. I have not seen a room that poor in 30 years or more.

It was a place just for sleep honestly. The sink was broken, and so was the toilet. The room smelt like cigarettes and there were stains all over the couch and chairs. I didn’t mind the space because I knew I wouldn’t be spending much time there other than dropping off my bags, but if you’re looking for a place to relax, this is not it.

Poor excuse for a motel.. all those ratings come absolute no BS. It's not staffed and he is out from the office all day too. He shows around 5 or so in his professional T-Shir. Had no water all day not even a note on the office door explainging what's going on.. total unprofessional total 0 respect. It's a damn shame when your considering the alternatives it doesn't matter where you stay these damn motel owners need to step up to there game. They have to remember there dive that's being passed as a motel needs to stop I'm sure they have no problem sleeping at night either.. paying public voice out to this crap too .
