Worse Motel ever
Where do I begin with this horrible place. Yhe 1st room we got when me & husband entred the room was trashed toliet was full of poop. Shower was nasty and dirty. I couldn't sleep I was constantly looking for bed bugs and roaches I was constantly itching all night long. They refuse to give us a refund in cash said we had go to go through hotels.com which was false. It took my husband calling cooperate to get our money back they offered a free stay I definitely refused. I will sleep in my car before I ever stay there again. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM HERE!!!

Not what I expected
I’m sorry I was an inconvenience for the front desk staff and interrupted his phone call! With all of these rooms available and he could see I am elderly, because he rudely told me to give him my id, with a bad knee, he put me upstairs in the back. I parked in front of the office so it wasn’t too full.
