Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We were looking for a cheap place to stay before heading home after the Metallica concert, which was awesome. It was cheap ($80), however, it probably should have been closer to "dirt" cheap. There was a strange smell in the room, the air conditioner worked for 2min and then a concerning noise followed. We attempted to plug in our cell phones and the outlet literally fell out of the wall. The bathroom had dead bugs in corners and we were unsure if we should have slept in the beds. Around 4am we were happily awaken by a couple yelling racial slurs at each other, slamming doors and at one point we thought they were attempting to get into our vehicle. The check-in attendant's English was broken, but we picked up on key words; definitely not locally owned. As we drove away (thankfully), our conversation was about safety inspections being conducted...ever?

No alarm clock, no hbo.they advertise. And the smell !!! Omg.i don't have enough memory on my phone to take all the nasty pictures of the room. And the help doesn't care. Do not stay here

Though the price will be tempting it would be in ones best interest to go elsewhere. Exterior was in better repair than the room we had.. Peeling paint in the restroom, floor seem dirty, somewhat musty, and feeling that the room was not totally clean was a turnoff. Room did have a microwave and a refrigerator which is always a good thing. If just looking for a place to crash with no frills then stay but check the room before signing on.

Not much to rave about the motel, but for the pricing, wasn't surprised. got what i paid for. Although the front desk could have used a little more enthusiasm. And the surrounding wasn't all to best either, but still, as I said before, got what i paid for. So all in all got what I paid for.

It pretty much looks like a place you see in the movies where people are murdered. The outside looks ok but when you enter the room it stinks. The walls have brown smudges on the wall and th e lamp shades have never been cleaned. As you walk through the room gnats buzz up from the carpeting. The bathroom glows a really dull yellow from their standard murder supply light bulbs. And the mirror is slowly corroding away. The place should be tore down.
