Spacious room but filthy floor and the king size bed had queen sheets so you couldn't move much without pulling out all sheets. Uncomfortable!

The room looks nothing like what we saw and expidia website. There’s a microwave and a fridge that looks all old and beat up. All the furniture is scratched up beat up TV has a gash in the LED screen. I don’t think it was even a flat screen. The tv only has two channels.

Says non smoking but rooms(I stsyed in 2 different rooms)smell of overwhelming cigarette smoke, shower is mounted far to one side of the shower stall so can't reach all areas. The stall is also so small that you can't bend or lean over enough to wash any part accept your head and unarms.

Not very clean, no AC, no screens on the windows so we could open them for fresh air and the “kitchenette” was a mini fridge and microwave in the closet

There was no toilet paper holder . The toilet paper was simply placed of towels that were placed along the sides of the small sink. While I was washing my hands , the toilet paper fell into the sink,& the running water ended up getting the roll of toilet paper wet. We had to get a new roll of toilet paper -an inconvenience. Overall -> you get what you pay for. It's a BUDGET motel ! A drive around the block reveals nice houses w well kept lawns- I conclude the neighborhood to be safe. We ate at the Thai restaurant that's @ same parking lot as the hotel. The food tasted good, & the prices are lower than at other restaurants.
