Not so good. Very surprised by a 50 dollar, cash only room deposit. Room also needed some repair and basic plumbing and electrical problems taken care of.

House repairs.
It wasn't a planned event. House repairs forced us to relocate for a short time.

Stay away
Apparently there’s a hidden cash only deposit fee at checkin that isn’t disclosed on third party sites. They told me I should’ve gone to their website to know, or to read the little printed sign on the side of the office. I just drove almost 2 hours and am told to have cash on me when I never do… I get to the room and it smells so strongly of mold and cigarettes. There were cigarette burn marks on the cover of the bed. Paint peeling off in chunks all over the walls. Obvious flood damage on the bottom 1-2 feet of the room. I didn’t feel safe nor secure. I gave my key back before midnight just a few hours after I checked in. I didn’t even use the room. No refund or care of how my stay went. The creepy guy in the van that stared at me and then put his windows down as I got close (had to walk by to get to my friend who came to save me…). Told the front desk about him and she shrugged it off saying he’s a resident and it was his smoke break… he wasn’t smoking and I know a bad situation when I see one. Just so terrible. Don’t go to this place.

Not worth staying, regardless of how cheap
The room that I was provided did not have a secondary lock for safety, the smoke detector was missing and when I went to lay down on the bed, the sheets were soiled and had burn holes on them.

Do not trust all the pics online or reviews
Let me start by what was okay. The front desk staff was super friendly. The bed was comfortable for the most part.
Now let me give an honest review. I say that because I booked this place based on the photos online and the reviews.
* roaches everywhere in the room. Bought raid at Walmart.
* there were stains and possibly food on the walls and drapes
* the floor was slippery, sticky and filthy.
* cigarette burns in the blanket (not any kind of comforter)
* mildew/mold on the shower curtain
* tile and grout in bathroom were covered in SOMETHING
* ceiling had a giant water stain
* the AC is so high in the room that we had to climb on the table to use it
* every time we left the room, we had to get our keys reactivated
We booked this knowing it was a budget motel…but for $250 for 3 nights…absolutely 0/10 recommend.
