I live a couple minutes from this motel and I must warn you that it is VERY dangerous to stay there. Local police officers will even tell you to leave. Prostitutes, pimps, drug dealers and the like all stay there and the place is absolutely filthy. The strip club next door often has public shows of car washing and bubble... more

If I had to describe this dump in one word it would be DISGUSTING. Dirty rooms and grease stained sheets. Took sheets off of the bed to have more brought up and mattress had brown spots all over it. Not to mention, the toilet was not working properly. I will never stay here again and was disappointed that Priceline and... more

We asked for another room, and found that one to be in worse condition, and the toilet did not work, nor did... more

We were shocked when we checked in to see a sign saying, they accepted no responsibility for anything that happened to any cars that we parked in their parking lot. It was at our own risk. We got to our room and it was horrible, walls, room was dirty and smelled, literally, the bathroom was dirty. Very unsanitary conditions. There... more

First I want to say, the owners were very nice. But, that is the only good thing I can say. It is on a road full of strip clubs, it was dirty and falling apart. AND, the next morning when we were checking out it was robbed and the robber walked away. more
