Trop drôle.. je me suis fait accueillir au front desk avec une énorme Coquerelle morte. Lamentable ça sent humidité et cigarette les serviettes de bains propres étaient blanc gris. A éviter
Only thing that I liked was the reasonable price per night. Everything else with the room was disappointing. Everything in room had a coating of dust on it. Besides it was very outdated and need of major improvements. I would not stay there again.

The place is clean carpet does not smell too good but for the price paid it’s ok
Looked like it hasn't been cleaned in quite a while. Debris all over the floor, hair in the shower, and a frog in the sink. I've been itching since I left, I checked for all types of bugs but I may have missed some. It was basically a convenient stop late at night. Wishing I would had drove past now.
When we arrived around 5 PM, the entire motel has no customer as we didn't see one car. Due to its location, with no customer, it just felt creepy. Once we got the key to enter the room, there was a strong smell of mold and smoke that we couldn't stand. We went to the front desk to talk to the front desk person (I think he is the owner of this property), he said other rooms won't be much different. We don't feel safe for our life and health, so we just left with a full payment left for the hotel to collect. We ended up staying in another hotel in Manning up one more exit off I-95. We couldn't image how to stay the night at this motel.
Dirty. The man at the front desk was rude. The room was filthy. There was blood on the walls and the ceiling. The sheets were gross we brought in our own blankets to sleep on. The microwave didnt work. The tv didnt work. The pool was a mess and useless. The playground was a death trap. As I was loading our stuff into the car at 11:05 am the rude man came to yell at me because checkout was at 11. When I asked about the local area he didn't even respond to my questions. It was the worst room Ive stayed in. It's the kind of place that rents by the hour, you wouldnt want to spend much more time in there.
I wanted a low cost, clean, quiet, place near the freeway to sleep, shower in the morning, and go on my way. This place was the right place for me. If you are a picky, snooty sort, and expect a lot for a little cost, stay away and then you won't need to complain. I have no complaints on this modest place and would stay again if I need a sleep/shower stop in the Manning area. The no-smoking room I got was fine, no trace of smoke or the horrible air 'freshener" stench that is sometimes in a no smoke room. They take a credit card in case you are a jerk and do smoke in a no smoke room. The shower was good with fast on hot water. I was in a car. The parking lot is big and easy on/off the road...would be very good for all size trucks. U-haul to professional driven. I did not like their cheap soap and fortunately always carry my own and shampoo for the inexpensive stops I like to make...you should too! I would like to be able to find more inexpensive places like this.
There were bugs in the room & the fumes from the broken heater made me sick, I had to cancel my trip. The owner would not refund my money, all though ii had a trip cancellation policy that I paid an.addition.fer for. This place needs to be inspected by the health department & closed down.

Accueil du propriétaire gentil pour un hôtel ordinaire
Recommended by Hotel.com and after my stay I contacted Hotel.com and said this hotel def must be taken off their list of recommendations. I would never recommend the hotel to anyone and I have stayed in lots of hotel in many states. Hotel needs updating extremely, and service is basically none. The room was very old, TV old bubble type screen, reception not even good. bed.mattress old, few towels, no kleenex, no coffee, A/C didn't hardly work (only ran for 15-20 min, then shut off, would not cut back on autom, . Could not find another hotel at that time of night or drive further. Checking in took a while at counter, was told by Hotel.com there was a continental breakfast and coffee. Asked Manager of hotel upon cking in, what time was breakfast, He said there was no breakfast served. I asked was there coffee in the room and if not was there coffee in the lobby, he said no to both. I was rather shocked about the answers and he proceeded to tell me if I wanted coffee I could go next door to the service station to get it. I've never experienced such before!! I also may have been the only guess there or possibly only a handful of guess there if that. Not sure but do know I felt things were a little sketchy because I didn't see hardly any cars but it was absolutely too late to continue on my trip and trusted Hotel.com to have booked me into a descent hotel. I did receive a $25 credit from Hotel.com but still feel that wasn't adequate for what I totally paid and endured.
There aren't enough words to describe how nasty this place is and smells. If it were not for bad the traveling conditions were at the time and how late it was, we would NEVER have turned into the parking lot.

It was a place to sleep. Bed was hard, pillows were awful, no cable the stations were local only and WiFi signal was so weak my kindle would not stay connected. One night stay was $67 plus $10 for my pet. If you are looking for just a place to sleep, this is it.

Nice for the price! Cable needs an upgrade...most channels came in fuzzy!
The door lock was broken, the bed sheets were old and were falling apart with holes everywhere. The room was a nonsmoking room but it had a strong smoking smell.
Spoke to staff at hotel and was informed that there is absolutely no upper level. Agent at Expedia
said that the hotel had upper level when he read the stats on the hotel. Also I was given contradicting info concerning the amount to charge my card.
Checked in got to the room put my things down left and came back turn lights on and roaches scatter. I went to the front desk the man says he wants to see. I show him. He states he doesn't understand bcuz they have orkin and if i wudnt have said something they cud have treated the room. Um im sorry wat the hell do u mean if i didnt say something. U thought i wanted to just chill up in here with the roaches? Switch rooms to find out theres roaches in that room as well. Go to get my money back and he states since i didnt cm b4 check out time at 11 he cudnt give me my money back. It was currently 1130. So i told him its ok bcuz im sure I'll get my money back another way. DO NOT EVER GO THERE... EVER
