Negative Reviews
negative:
Rooms look and smell bad
The rooms are greatly disappointing and an extreme let-down, because of very poor conditions and an evident lack of cleanliness. Peeling paint, dirty floors, stained linens and towels, broken fixtures and furniture, and unemptied trash cans are a common discovery at check-in. Adding to the distress are the icky, off-putting smells. Even if you're lucky enough to get a room that's not as horrendous, there's not much upkeep during your stay.
negative:
Poor excuse for a breakfast
Breakfast typically ranges from either a packaged pastry and coffee, to nothing, and there's no explanation for the omission. Don't expect to have any provisions here.
negative:
There's not a good sense of safety here
Not surprisingly, many guests don't feel comfortable staying here, even if they have bearable accommodations. There's suspicious people that hang around the place, and some have reported seeing others sleeping in cars in the parking lot. There's an uneasiness that seems to permeate everything about this motel.
