Floor was very dirty and had a large depressed area where vinyl was cracked with some missing. Shower had no place to put shampoo/shower gel bottles while in shower. Shower floor was slippery and the area around drain wasn’t finished well. Needs at least one grab bar in shower. One mattress was good but the other was way too soft.

Horrible experience

The place was maybe the dirtiest hotel I’ve ever been in. The shower had a couple of used bars of soap in it, in addition to a wrapped one. It smelled like mildew. The toilet had obviously not been cleaned. The room reeked like cigarette smoke, and we didn’t even feel safe there (there were tons of people outside smoking, and it just seemed like a really rough area. For the first time in my life, we ended up leaving and going somewhere else. It was seriously the dirtiest, worst hotel room I have ever seen.

Avoid this dump

Possibly the most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever slept on. Literal holes in the drywall, crumbling apart. Several big cigarette burn holes in all the sheets/blanket. The power outlet next to the window ac unit has clearly caught on fire before. It’s almost totally black. Found trash under the bed

Roaches and not clean. Did not feel safe at all!

The first issue was it wasn't cleaned. I had to call several times for dif issues. No pillow case. Hair in the tub and only noticed that because I saw a washrag on the shower sprayer and asked my brother who has down syndrome and that was with me if he used it. I didn't think so since he was fixing to take a shower and I was getting stuff ready for him but double checked and i looked down and black curly hair all in the tub. I cleaned the sink counter with wipes i keep because with a wipe of a wet cloth stuff came off. All other places were booked for Garth Brooks or I would of changed. I asked about a dif room after seeing tub (tey had warned me the 2nd flr rooms were better but I'm disabled and hard to go up and down steps) and they said just easier to clean tub. The guy just wiped it with towels. There might of been cleaner on it already. If I had an issue they cane right away thou and were very nice. The TV didn't work and the guy came again for that and fixed it. The room also had roaches which I have never in my almost 53 years had a motel that had roaches and I've pd a hell of a lot less then 168 for 2 nights. I will put up with a lot but not bugs!

You get what you pay for

I’ll give the staff credit, the check in lady asked me to check the room before we checked in because it would take two days to refund the money. Not a good sign. The room was inexpensive so we overlooked the horrible smoke smell even though it was a “smoke free” room. The lady said it was hard for them to enforce it. And we were ok with the old conditions. But the cigarette ashes on the night stand and the fact that the only way to change the channel on the tv was to manually change it from the direct tv box located behind the tv was a little much. The room served its purpose during a Football weekend and was inexpensive. You get what you pay for.

There were roaches everywhere. The rooms were not clean. There was even a dirty soap bar in the shower. There were dogs barking in the rooms above us and beside us. We felt very unsafe and had to leave and spend more money for another room. It was the worst experience I've ever had traveling.
