Nightmare
So I had low expectations going into this place because of the price, but I didn’t realize the plumbing would back up and stack pipe water would be over flowing from the base of the toilet the next morning. I woke up 6:30am stepped onto a soaking wet floor. Called the office they did come right over with 2 towels lol the floor was soaked. Then he comes back with a sheet half ass wipes it up and leaves basically saying you’ll get a new room later. We couldn’t shower because the water was overflowing from the toilet the moment you turned it on. At that point I packed up and requested a refund for the second day because I was out of there before 8:30am. They claimed they would refund for the second day so we shall see.

Dont Believe the Pictures!
I read the recent review about the filth and overwhelming air freshener smell too late to cancel, so we went and I hoped for the best. Check in was like an interrogation and very unwelcoming, as we were asked how many people and if we had animals twice, as if we were not believed. The air freshener smell was indeed overwhelming. The bathroom door didnt shut, the toilet seat was dirty, the dresser reeked of mildew when you open the door and drawers. The pillows were dirty and smelled like dirty hair, the lamp shade has what appears to be blood splatter on it. We tried to leave and come back, tried keeping the door open and after a few hours we checked out and went elsewhere. When I checked out, it didnt seem to matter. We hadnt even left yet and two employees were in the room. I would think if someone checks out after a few hours, and they dont rent by the hour, then they would be curious and ask if things are ok? I turned the AC unit off to see if that would help with the air freshener, but then it smelled of mildew. I knew I wasnt booking a fancy place, and I dont even care about it being run down - but so much air freshener my eyes were literally burning! We had headaches, and could not breathe. Everything was filthy. There was a random door to somewhere that I had no way of insuring it would stay locked. The pics indeed are not accurate. What are they hiding with the air freshener?

Terrible Experience
This is terrible motel. There were people with drugs and the cops came here twice. Please do not trust the pictures of the motel. The rooms are very dirty and they smell of urine. This place was not safe and every now and then the police were there.The sheets and towels were horrible. Since the rooms smelt so bad, they had put an overdose of room freshner. I would never ever ask anyone to book this place even if it is cheap. I am shocked that hotels.com has even listed this place. When i reached out to hotels.com they washed their hands and did not want to help. I did not expect this from a reputed site. I do not want anyone else to go thru what i went thru and its best to skip this place. I just could not stay there and when i asked hotels.com for a refund i got no help.

Absolutely the worst place.
I’m all our years of traveling for work , have we experienced such a rude , unprofessional, and so poorly kept establishment. Our experience started by the front desk calling us to ask what time we where gonna check in. We proceeded to tell them that we would be checking in late due to the fact that, we were in town working a concert at the beach that ended late. We received 3 follow up calls, from the front desk saying that if we didn’t come in 10 mins they would give our room to someone else. Even though it was already paid for via hotels.com. Once we arrived we were told that we would have to pay $100 for the extra person in the room. So we did with no resistance. Once we enter the room is where the real fun begin. The room was absolutely disgusting it smelled of foul body odor the sheets that were supposed to be white or yellow we proceeded to call the front desk to ask for clean sheets and they told us to F off a because they where already sleeping. and if we didn’t like it that we would be free to go with no refund. The next morning upon leaving we received the phone call saying that our credit card would be charged and additional fee because we had damage their air conditioner in refrigerator which we did not even use the place was so disgusting nothing in the room was touched. This place is should be inspected by the local health dept. Dirty, Foul smelling, poor service.

This is a low budget "no frills" motel. It's basically a dive but the rooms are priced that way. The bathroom would not pass safety code inspections today. maybe it's grandfathered in. my room was clean, i didn't see any bugs. no odors or smoke smell in the room either. bed was comfortable. the towels and linens were very old. the toilet paper was like cardboard. no shampoo or toiletries. seems like owners are trying to save every nickel they can. if they charged an extra buck per night maybe they could give you a new towel and shampoo?
