    Very bad Smell throughout hotel, extremely dirty walls, need to wash sheets/towels. Need to clean bathroom.

    It’s cool if you need somewhere cheap to stay and it’s not really dirty. It can be a bit tidier. The walls are super dirty and it has a bad smell throughout the whole motel- a musty smell. I’m not sure if the sheets etc are clean or not. They seem clean for the most part but then I would see like stains on them that don’t look washed. I’d recommend bringing sheets/towels if can. I do come here a lot tho when I need to because of the price. If they just fix those few things. It would be perfect for a red roof. Staff is very friendly.

    No problems

    I have read a lot of bad reviews for this motel. We did not have any negative issues. The facility has been renovated recently. The room was clean, staff friendly, and location is within a 15 minute drive to both the Clyde Theater and Sweetwater performance pavilion. 2nd stay at this motel and will definitely use again.

    The room is smaller than most. I found mold in the caulking in the tub. My bed had broken springs right by the nightstand so it wasn’t the best sleep for me, the other bed was fine. There is no breakfast here, just coffee and tea but definitely has room for a grab and go option.

    The location for our purpose of our visit is why we chose here. Easy to get to off the highway as well. It was decently quiet. I like that it had a fridge and microwave. Plenty of lighting in the room with the lamps as well as many outlets. The person at the desk was polite and helpful and check in and out was quick. Bedding and towels were clean. Heat works very well as it was frigid outside and we had no drafts and the curtains were a true blackout style.

    Ask for a Room Not Facing the Exotic Club Parking Lot

    I had an odd numbered room facing Brandy's Exotic Dance club. There was noise from music in the parking lot until at least 11 p.m. Since I was trying to get some sleep before a conference that started at 8 a.m. the next day, the noise was annoying. I didn't bother complaining to the front desk because the noisemakers seemed to be motel residents. I thought about calling the police, but I figured that might lead to my car getting vandalized. Felt like I paid a lot for a noisy room with no free breakfast. The room also smelled vaguely of smoke. Worried I might lose my $100 deposit even though I am a lifelong never smoker.

    It had a coffee maker, free soap, and free shampoo.

    The fact I spent most of my social security check on a room and am homeless then was told I had 10 minutes to leave when the owner knew I was having difficulties. It seemed like there was a lack of empathy towards those who are disabled when it comes to the price of rooms and how we are treated. Also they allow pets and will keep your deposit when a female dog goes into heat. I don't agree with this as I surely could of used that money for another room instead of being on the streets. Also my room was taken out of my name and out into someone else's name who didn't pay anything to be there. I find that to be a breach of privacy and will be looking into this with lawyers. I stayed to myself and was not any trouble to my knowledge. I do believe the hotel owners should me more understanding when it comes to customers who are disabled mentally and have ESA pets and not be so rude.

    The ladies that cleaned the rooms were always very sweet and smiled any time eye contact was made. For the most part they understood issues that came up more then the male owner. Maybe he needs an easier job for his stress level

    the 100 deposit above and beyond my room charge was a surprise. The shower in the room was "fixed" with orange duck tape. The bathtub was not completely clean... it was stained. Next to a strip club.

    The staff were friendly and professional.

    It shared a parking lot with an exotic dancer club. They required a $100 security deposit upon check in which was a shock.

    The room was clean and did not have carpet which i liked. The hallways were filthy and smelled like piss. It was right next to a strip club and there were questionable people hanging around outside at times. We were a group of guys seeing music at SWEETWATER so it worked out for us, but not a great place. Again, the rooms were clean though.

    The rooms were clean and it was cheep.

    While where do I start with this one, on the first day of arrival I checked into the hotel where we was given or keys to the room and we was told to go up the stairs an find the room by myself than I asked is there and Elevator and I was to No, so I than made my upstairs to find my Room open the door walk in the Room smell so terrible the smell was unbearable after a long 3 & 1/2 hour drive I needed to use the bathroom lifting up the toilet seat the toilet had a skid Mark and hair in the toilet i couldn’t Not believe that they had given me a dirty room that had clearly not been cleaned so I went downstairs and asked the front desk if the room has been cleaned because it doesn’t look so because I’ve found something in towel in which I have video of she than came up and saw it for herself and said ohh housekeeping didn’t check the toilet I’m so sorry I asked for a change in room Immediately and which she did, On day 3 of my stay there was a couple that was staying there that had gotten into a heated argument around 6-7pm where they woke me up out of my sleep cursing and carrying with Name calling and swearing from left to right the police was call to calm down the situation which they did cool down for a while so me & my son went on the road to get something eat and chill for a little bit when we got back to the room like and hour after we heard loud banging noise on the room door coming from the same couple earlier he was so angry that she would not open the door for him now mind you this is around 11pm at night he was shouting so loud everyone staying there could hear them he was saying I need to get my gun you know it’s registered to me and it’s in my name when I get it I'm going to shoot up the place while they continue to argue my son & was so scared for our lives because the argument was so heated from the first one on to the second one the police was called again to calm down the situation a little while when things kinda calm down I went...
