The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The staff was nice. But rooms have adjoining doors (which you can lock) which leads to no sound insulation. The guy in the next room to me started screaming at 2am. When he stopped he turned the tv on all night long.

Check in: rang the bell the gentlemen came down from the American hotel (which they also own) to check us in. Went smoothly. Room appeared to be clean and tidy. We left to visit our friend. Came back and when we came in I saw a bug run across the desk but didn’t see what kind of bug. As we were eating a snack the bug came back around. It was a roach for sure, we killed it. Okay one… hmmm maybe but then we moved the tv cable box to be sure it was plugged in tightly because the remote wasn’t working at all for the tv nor the cable box and two roaches ran out. One got smooshed and the other ran away. We said, “That’s it, we aren’t staying here”. We only had a few things since we were only staying one night and my husband grabbed our snacks and coffee and went to the car and I went to grab our bag and a roach crawled in. I took everything out of the bag to be sure we weren’t taking any bugs with us. By then I just wanted to puke! We went to the office for a refund and told the gentleman what had happened. He said he was sorry that no one ever complained about bugs before and we had to go through Expedia to get our refund. We left and while my husband drove us home I messaged Expedia to explain what happened and sent the pictures of the roaches as well. It’s suppose to get taken care of by the offline team to issue our refund. So STAY AWAY FROM THIS HOTEL unless you don’t mind the roaches. There were two other guests, working men, staying there and the rest of the place was empty.

Dirty, poorly maintained rooms. Keys repeatedly stopped working and I had to go back to the front desk for new ones multiple times. Not worth it unless you’re trying to save money at all costs.

This place was scary. When I checked in I actually thought the motel was out of business. There was not 1 car in the parking lot. The (very nice and friendly) front desk employee came from offsite after I rang the bell at the front office to check me in. Based on the general condition/appearance of the builiding, I can't imagine more than a few rooms are actually used. The room was gross, a little dirty, but just extremely old and run down, weird smell. The ac and tv seemed to be in good working order, but I couldn't do it. After 5 minutes in the room, I left and never came back (despite 2 prepaid, non refundable nights). There was no way I would have felt safe/comfortable trying to sleep there

Unfortunately there are bed bugs and my wife and I were both bitten throughout our stay. The motel owner tried to provide a refund, but he said since we booked with Expedia, we could not. Don't use Expedia.

There was NOTHING to like. Run by an Indian family with no standards! Run down, no one in office, everything was broken, chipped or peeled. Hispanic contractors partying all evening in front and back. Very dangerous area. This proprietor doesn’t care about anything. First time I felt like $70 was a ripoff. Expedia should remove this hotel. Ad, photos and reviews are misleading or fake!

Cockroaches were present. Mild odor. Carpet was very worn and dirty. When I stepped into the wet shower, there was black liquid around my feet immediately. The beds were very poor. The staff was very polite and helpful, but this property is badly in need of updating.
