Motel was in terrible shape, holes in the walls, bugs crawling everywhere and the reek a foul stench. The night was a nightmare of loud music and historical laughter. The bathroom had mold on the walls and tiles were missing. I would never stay at this motel.

The hotel was shabby and rundown. There were flies and roaches in the bathroom. The electric outlets didn't work. The WiFi didn't work. The upkeep was non-existent. They charged a $20 cash deposit for the key, but the office was closed at 7:30 am so I couldn't get the deposit back. I've been in economical (cheap) motels before. This one was by far the worst.

Please do not book this hotel it infested with roaches as well as other insects. The individuals in the office are swear hearts and very nice. But the place is in significant bad shape. I didn’t realize the place was infested with roaches until late night when the lights were off. I had to take pictures so that I can try and receive a refund. Please do not waste your money.

This place was completely disgusting. When I first walked in I had to kill a few roaches. I tried getting some rest as a had to get up early, but something woke me up. When I got up to turn the lights on, I saw multiple bedbugs crawling around. I talked with travelocity customer service (still waiting on refund and to hear back), and checked out within minutes as I could not stay any longer.

Nasty, nasty, nasty hovel. Cockroach infested dirty run-down hell-hole. This place should not be allowed to advertise as a motel. Horrible nasty dirty place. I think the bed sheets were clean but they had bugs on them. I didn’t dare touch the one blanket provided. I slept an uneasy sleep wondering what might be crawling on me. Raw sewage backed up into the already blocked shower drain in the morning. Then the owner wouldn’t give me my money back for the days I didn’t stay, let alone the night I stayed. Expedia gave me a one night credit so I lost $250 in un-refunded prepayment. Worst place imaginable. Only in a movie would a motel be this disgusting. Stay away for your health and safety.

Refused Check-in by Drunk Manager

I showed up late at night after a long flight from the east coast looking to finally get some sleep. The man who answered the door was shirtless and confused (intoxicated?). I told him I had a reservation and he said "Not here you don't". I tried to show him the confirmation email but he said "Well what do you want me to do about it, I'm already in bed!". At which point I realized that I was not welcome. Even if I could have convinced him that I had a reservation, I would not feel completely safe or comfortable with this hostile man having access to my room. I left since I wasn't going to be given a room, and both Hotels.com and Pavilions refused to give me a refund.

Never stay here for any reason, at and price, for any length of time! The pictures are a lie. THERE IS NO HOT WATER! The bed was INFESTED with bedbugs, lice, roaches, and spiders. The sheets was not washed and covered in cigarette burns. The room smells unbearable like an ashtray. The locks hardly work. When I obviously cancelled on arrival, they lied and said they would give a refund - and refused later. They kept my key deposit even though I returned in. I lost 7 day worth of payment and didn't stay there even 1 night. If you call, they will duck your calls. If you ask Travelocity to call they ignore them until they give up. DON'T DO IT and probably never use Travelocity again (this is not a 2-star, it's a fake motel purely for hourly trafficking and prostitution).
