Emerald Best Motel

Not at All "Best," but Probably Worst No deadbolt on the door! Security very questionable. Sketchy neighborhood. Overall, not at all a recommended motel, and staff were unhelpful and defensive. When I asked for a different room, that was refused. Avoid!

The beds were uncomfortable as well as the pillows. Unless you were looking to eat Chinese food you did have to travel.

Would Not Stay Here Again The front desk person was kind and polite. The key we were given for our room was an old fashioned metal key on a fob with room number on it. Any previous guests could have made a copy. For that reason alone we did not feel safe. The parking lot was clean. It’s an old fashioned motel type building. The room was dark and there was grime on doors and light-switches. We used our Clorox wipes and cleaned. There were burn marks around toilet, bathtub and sink. The floors and baseboards did not look clean. The beds and bedding appeared clean and neatly made. There were no clothes hangers, no ironing board and no iron. The neighborhood did not feel very safe.

Room was updated, and very nice and clean. Staff was very polite. The only thing I was a bit set back on was that their dumpster was overflowing and there was trash that was was in and out of bags off to the side of it along with an appliance and beds. That area really needs cleaned up.

Was told upon checking in that none of their refurbished rooms were avaliable. Didn't think much of it until I got in the room and could smell smoke and the curtains didn't block any light with holes in them. Also the bed was terrible! I've slept on the ground camping and woke up feeling better. I mean I know you get what you pay for but wow.

Very nice updated motel. Not as clean with the renovation as it should be. I wiped down the tops of the baseboards in the bathroom with a damp towel and it was pretty dirty. Took me like 45 secs! Nice place to stay though.
