I was a disabled trafficking...

Liked: The housekeeping staff were kind and helpful when they were allowed to clean the room, which only happened a few times during my month-long stay. THE SHOWER WAS NICE.
Disliked: I was targeted for an entire month. My packages were stolen, I was repeatedly shamed for being disabled, and when I hired someone (MERRY MAIDS) to help clean up, they kicked me out despite having a valid reservation. I was accused of being a threat based on gossip, not truth. They refused to renew my reservation even though I had one. I was forced to abandon my walker and shower chair. I was made to switch to a non-accessible room while they allowed drug use and trafficking on the premises. The manager was unkind and called the police to remove me, even though I followed all rules and begged for patience. They ignored my legal rights, ADA protections, and human trafficking concerns. They posted anti-trafficking signs while treating an actual victim like a criminal.

This is a horrible location...

Liked: Not a thing. It showed very different on the site than in person.
Disliked: Everything. Poor service. Poor cleaning practices. Poor arrangements or lack of service when trying to speak to management. Location is in a shady area.

Worst motel I have ever...

Liked: Non existant.
Disliked: Clean rooms. Provide flat sheet so you are not sleeping under dirty blanket. Shower and sinks that work. Hot water. would be nice. Staff that seem to know what they were doing.

We stayed less than 20...

Liked: Unfortunately, we did not find anything we liked about the property due to its poor cleanliness and unsanitary conditions.
Disliked: The property was completely unacceptable due to its unsanitary conditions. The bathtub was filthy, with visible pubic hairs, black stains, and a worn, dirty surface (photos attached). The headboard was also noticeably dirty. The overall state of the property did not match the listing description, and we did not feel it was safe or hygienic to stay. We are extremely disappointed and would not recommend this property to others.
