Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
First of, the staff at location were great. Now the room is another story. First, the room i was supposed to get was not cleaned upon arrival so i was put into another room. This room was not up to par.. The roof was leaking in the bathroom all night. Mentioned it to the owner who sent people up to look at it and was told the room was under going it's 2 year upgrade which was apparently not done. In brought it to the owners attention at about 8am and he offered to put me into another room but i declined since check out was at 11am
This is an older building. The room seemed old and outdated. Lot of scuff marks on walls and door. There was a ugly hole where a plug in use to be. Also the fan on the ceiling in the bathroom was gone and was a big hole. The bed was comfortable but old bedding. Will not return to this hotel.

Room is big, but maybe not ready for on time check in
Upon check-in, the room was not cleaned: the toilet, floor, and sink were dirty.
The towels and bed linen were dirty, with stains of unknown origin. When we requested clean towels, we were given the same dirty ones. The bedding was also stained and appeared unwashed. The replacement linen provided was cleaner but had holes in it.
The pillows smelled of tobacco smoke, making them unusable.
The bathroom tap fell off every time we tried to use it.
On the first evening, the bedding was removed from our bed, and the blanket and pillows were left on the floor. We had to find the hotel manager to request fresh linen.
When we addressed the discrepancies between the hotel conditions and the website listing with the front desk, we were informed that we needed to speak with the owner, but the front desk had no contact information for the owner.
This Hotel Was a Nightmare: Stolen Time, Discrimination, & Lies!
This hotel was an appalling experience. I was stolen from, lied to, and discriminated against, all while the room failed to meet advertised standards.
My check-in was a disaster. Despite a 4 PM check-in, the front desk was consistently unstaffed from noon to 6:30 PM. I, along with my three dogs (one ADA service dog, two ESAs), was forced to wait in a hot car for hours.
The next morning, after booking a second night, the owner demanded I check out at 11 AM and re-check in at 4 PM—an unheard-of policy. He then discriminated against my service dog, demanding printed paperwork he's legally not allowed to ask for.
Compounding this, upon my 4 PM re-check-in, I found my room hadn't even been cleaned, despite the owner's insistence that was the reason for my forced five-hour exodus. Later, despite an employee securing a 3 PM late checkout, the owner aggressively evicted me at 12:30 PM, denying the agreement. This amounted to theft of paid time on both days.
The room itself was misrepresented: no microwave as advertised, and a missing peephole leaving a hole straight through the door.
While the staff (excluding the owner) was kind, the owner's actions were unprofessional and discriminatory. I paid $80 a night and lost several hours of paid time due to their incompetence and deceit.
I would not recommend this hotel to anyone, ever!

Worst place I’ve everr stayed in my entire life. Also nestled been treated with so much disrespect. Just to start off the manager wouldn’t let me check in cuz he thought I was a prosituite and tried to agree with me and say that I’ve stayed at his motel before. Ended getting an apology for that. But then he went on to say if I work the streets he would kick me out immediately. He likes to lurk in your window and see who’s in your place this place is ridiculous can’t have anyone at all over after 11. Not even your own family . He threaten to call the police on me like 3 times. Cuz I had a cat and cuz I had a guest. Our room was disgusting and the room we changed into after this room was 10000x worse. He has grown ass men that do not know how to clean we the maids. Took my comforter off the bed and there I found a condom wrapper. Not just one but two. Shower did not work it wouldn’t even drain. Tv also didn’t work either. We asked to change rooms and he said yes but he waited until the second to the last day of our stay to change rooms. Our next room everything was nice but it didn’t look at all like anyone cleaned in maybe the last year. The shower didn’t have the non slip in it which is very dangerous l. I ended up falling in the shower because of it.
