We booked this motel after a 15 hour drive. What a joke! The room we got first stunk of cigarettes and I asked for a non-smoking room. The staff told me that the one side is smoking and our side was non-smoking...and they are all connected to each other. Then he transferred us to the non-smoking building. Opened our door and it was fully under construction. The staff apologized to us and we got a refund and went somewhere else.

This hotel is the illegitimate child of a prison cell and a bus station bathroom after they spent a filthy-dirty weekend together locked in a janitor's closet a long long time ago. The non-smoking room we requested reeked of smoke and was liberally adorned with cigarette burns on almost every surface. The carpeting, or carpet-like surface, was stickier than a frat house floor after a keg party. There was a dirty towel left on the sink - maybe someone was going to use it to wipe the phlegm next to the drain but then got distracted. For the price of the room, cheap-but-not-really-that-cheap, I expected a place where one wouldn't need to wrap up in a plastic tarp as protection from whatever bacteria used it as its permanent address. I didn't dare look at the bedding, what was the point by then, but I still get shivers at the thought of what might have been under the Technicolor bedspreads. We left immediately for another hotel down the road - fortunately we were refunded our money with no questions asked. I never thought checking into a Holiday Inn would feel so luxurious.
