Not fit for humans! Seriously! Unsafe, unhealthy, awful!
I really do NOT know how the health department has not shut them down.
We paid $54 to stay one night, and stayed in room 114. It's a smoking room, so we did not expect the lap of luxury, but nothing could have prepared us for the nightmare we experienced. Don't take my word for it. I uploaded a bunch of photographic evidence.
Owners are Indian and lobby is filled with Krishna paraphernalia. We thought this was cool.
Uncool was the overwhelming smell of mothballs in the lobby and the dirty old grandma furniture.
Not cool was the fact that you have to watch your step when you enter and leave the lobby because the building is not totally connected to the steps!
Not cool was the fact that the 2nd story was under construction (plastic over the doors, so I suspect it was actually fumigation).
Not cool was the fact that the workers seemed to be staying overnight as well, and parked their work trucks crooked preventing us from parking anywhere near our room. We had heavy equipment with us for our jobs and that was a real pain to carry across the parking lot.
Not cool was the fact that the heater unit in the wall was open into the room (you could bend down and see clearly inside).
Not cool was the fact that the heater has two settings: blast furnace and off. So my husband had to wake up every half hour and turn it off or on depending on whether he was roasting or freezing.
Not cool was the smell of sour milk in the room. We expected a cigarrette smell, but dairy?
Not cool were our complimentary hotel companions aka the common house fly.
Not cool was the fact that every inch of wall was covered in brown mystery stains and blood splotches.
Not cool was the fact that it was obvious nothing in the room had been cleaned EVER. Brown light switch plates are NOT the result of one or two missed cleanings.
Not cool was the nasty caulk lines everywhere making it look like a crack house.
Not cool were the thin sheets complete with the musty smell of neglect, nor the numerous burn holes in the sheets.
Not cool was the microwave stacked on the mini-fridge stacked on the dollar store nightstand.
Not cool was the fact that the mini-fridge was apparently a freezer (see picture).
Not cool was the unfinished (not under construction, but NEVER finished) wall and ceiling drywall seams.
NOT COOL was the giant hole in the wall next to the fridge (see picture).
Not cool was the stained box spring with lack of bedskirt.
Not cool was the splotches of black mold on the wall next to the bed that were PAINTED OVER, like it minimizes the extreme health risk somehow.
Not cool were the boogers wiped on the wall in the bathroom.
Not cool was the fact that all I wanted to do from the second I walked into the room was take a shower, but I would have actually wound up dirtier from the process.
Not cool was the fact that we were provided Holiday Inn cups next to the sink. This means that the owners went to a Holiday Inn and stole cups to provide their guests. OH MY GOD! I mean seriously?!! See pictures.
Long story short, do not stay here EVER!
There are a couple other motels in Jacksboro, but they don't look much better from the street. It's worth it to drive 30 miles away to the La Quinta. Trust me, looks at the pictures I posted and make the right decision! read more
