Guest review
6.0A/C was barely blowing made it miserably hot. Shower curtains were held up by what looked like wire hangers. TV didn't even work. Only had two bath towels a day. No hand towels nor wash rags. All in all a terrible experience
Why isn't this place condemned?
2.0My friend & I inquired about a room, the woman manager said there was only one available. She explained it had four beds in it because some of the workers stay in that particular room at times. Lol I thought I was getting a luxury room for $80 including tax. OMG!!!! The room was horrific! The drapes were barely hanging because the rod was bent so bad, the mini fridge was rusty, the 80's style tv had no remote, I attempted to take a bath because it had jets in it (what the heck what was I thinking right?) there was no functioning plug or device to to keep the water from draining. There were no wash cloths & the two towels that were in there were so old, thin & ripped. I went to the office & inquired about a plug for the bathtub. The woman manager said they didn't have any lol so I asked about the jets in the tub she said they didn't work (surprise!). I was furious that they took me for so much money. The woman manager offered a washcloth to use as a plug if it will help because she. "Aims to please her customers so they keep coming back REALLY?!?! By this time she knew I was very angry she rudely said "maybe you should've looked at the room before you paid for it & second of all I would've reimbursed after you checked in if you weren't satisfied!" I asked her if I could get my money back. She said "no I'm not giving your money back after you've been there two hours (hell it took that long for my stomach to settle from the stench & dead bugs everywhere). She also told me if I wanted my money back to call the cops. After returning to the hell hole/room one of the workers came with a plug that was the wrong size. She left two washcloths & said she would return with a plug that would fit the bathtub drain. She never returned & the so called washcloths were so dirty & ripped I almost mistaked them for cleaning rags but then I realized where I was lol. There was also a broken down car with out tires sitting on bricks in the parking lot that drew the attention away from the moderately sober man uri in the pool. This place could never compete with motel 6 & leave the light on for you because most of the outside lights were burned out lol. This place needs to be shut down & the woman manager should be cleaning rooms instead of charging for them. Rude people have no business dealing with the public.
not so cheap
2.0We paid $35 per night.. but they stole my credit card information and bought $75 worth of food at Pluckers... which was right down the street. Weird people living there. As we walked up to the office the owners were making out at the front office.. in the open. Ghetto place. Smelled like cigarets. Everything was dirty. Avoid this place, pay a little more somewhere else. Not worth the stay.
**Not worth it**
2.0The place is as nasty as you can get! The beds are full of something that made our 4 yr. Old sick. The a.c. didn't work so the owner tried a cheap alternative and exchanged it with one from his other motel across the highway. Well he was to lazy himself to bring it to us so therefore my husband had to waste his gas and go pick it up and not to mention my husband also had to put it in. Well the a.c. unit kept tripping the breaker and the owner got upset because he had to goto Walmart and spend money on a window unit. These room are not clean. Asked to use the mop to mop the room and it left a nasty smell. I do NOT recommend this motel to anyone what so ever!!!!!!
