★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Derrick Gillum · May 2024

This is a last resort flop. Small rooms have the basics, but the buildings are shabby. The place isn't improving, if it's maintained. Right smack dab on the highway, there's no reason why you can't be on your way elsewhere before checkout. Google Maps takes you to the back of the motel. Stay on the highway instead of turning. The place is tiny, but there's a visible sign.

If you are in a desperate pinch, this motel will do, but it is a cheap motel in a dangerous neighborhood, so be careful. The rooms and everything are decent, but the surrounding area is horrible.

1st, my husband noticed that the air wasnt blowing very hard even on high, we took it upon ourselves to clean the air filters out not expecting them to be jet black with dirt! Upon pulling out filters we discovered a DIRT DOBBERS NEST ATTACHED TO THE TOP COMFORTER BLANKET!!!!!!! 1st three photos show the air filters dirty and how nasty the water was after washing them (not sure wgat happened to the photo showing what they looked like after i cleaned them but needless to say they looked brand new in comparrison) The 4th photo is of the dirt dobbers nest attached to the top blanket! The place is not only nasty as nasty gets but very disrespectful as well. My husband lost his legs 2 years ago and now has to use a wheelchair. He also has a service dog to help assisst him throughout his day t
