First of all, the people at the front desk are rude as hell! The rooms are disgusting! Nothing works! Door bearly locks! The shower was full of trash! I cant believe this place is even opened. When I asked for the main owners phone number, the chinese guy refused, which is illegal! Dont go there! !!!!!!!

Never, ever again!  

My title might seem like an oxymoron.  How can this be a great place to stay if it is such a terrible motel?  Because it is VERY cheap!

I arrived in town at about 3:00 AM, and just needed a place to sleep for a few hours.  I wasn’t interested in paying the $100-$150 that other nearby places wanted.  So, I looked for the worst place around, and I found this dumpy little motel.  It was exactly what I wanted.  I don’t remember exactly what I paid, but the price was really, really cheap and I even negotiated down a little.

The room was terrible, of course, which is exactly what I expected.  You get what you pay for, and since I was only going to be there for a short time and I would be asleep anyway, I didn’t want to pay for much.  This motel was perfect for what I wanted, and it completely met my expectations.

Having said that, if you are looking for a nice place, don’t stay here.  Dig a little deeper into your wallet and get something nicer somewhere else.

Terrible motel.  Great place to stay.

Such an awful place. Paid 320 for 7 days then called in the morning on the 7th day to inform them I was checking out late. They told me I had to pay for another day. I said fine.

After arriving at my room it was locked and I couldn't get in. The shady business owner was standing nearby just to let me in. First of all, locking a tenant out of an apartment or hotel is illegal. What made me more angry was the thousands of dollars of electronic equipment that was mine that he had locked in.

I grabbed my stuff and stormed out refusing to pay. Also the electrical sockets are all faulty and are fire hazards. Leaky plumbing and unsanitary conditions as well. I'd give them zero stars if that was an option.

Against the law...

Run down, shabby looking, a place where you would expect to feel things crawling across your feet. We were there just to visit someone when the manager called demanding $5 a head for having visitors. He then had the gall to knock on the door & demand the money! I'd rather sleep in the car than rent a room at that dump! 

They won't let you give less than one star... 

I saw this "mosque shaped" hotel for years and years, and figured it was a landmark and therefore expensive. It turned out NOT to be expensive, to be clean and comfortable, with over-sized rooms with plenty of space, microwave and small fridge--a good place to dig in affordably for a couple weeks, which is what I needed. It's a bit down at the heels, but clean and comfortable.  I was there just before Halloween, and one night there was a big party in the next room (and spilling out onto the balcony)--despite a sign in the office saying "No Parties". When I felt it had gone on and never quieted down, I called the manager, and he settled them down--for an hour. It built up again, and I called him again, and he went tot he room and made them stop--threatening a call to the police. So I thought he handled it well.  Internet is great at the front of the building, but definitely not reliable at the back--so if being on line is important to you, ask for a room at the front.  Very nice family runs the place, makes you feel welcome.  I plan to stay there next year when I go back to California.
