Mold through out the room and bathroom. Room extremely dirty amenities not as advertised. This motel should have been demolished years ago. The bathroom sink would fill up before it drained very slowly. We had to ask for a microwave and when they brought one it was filthy. Blow dryer smelt very bad and we could not use it

Wished we had read reviews in advance. Room was so depressing and dirty. Our feet were black from walking on the floor. The tap dripped all night. The paint was peeling off the walls and ceiling. The bed sagged and was uncomfortable. TV didn’t work. Smelled moldy. Moldy shower curtain.

This property is almost a tear down. It's water damaged. Black mold on the bathroom ceilings, walls, around the tub. Mold on the air conditioners. We changed rooms and the second was worst than the first. Noisey partiers outside our window in the middle of the night, these were employees of the hotel. Very little for blankets on the bed... Half the hotel was inhabitable due to water damage. Shower was great at first then lost pressure and turned cold....
