Room was not fully cleaned. Two pillows and thin sheets. Bathroom had hair from previous stay. Dead bug on ground. Roach up the wall on my way out the next morning. If you need a spot to lay your head for a few hours you get what you pay for. The staff was very kind though!

First times the charm

Room was basic. No fridge, no microwave. Staff will heat and food up in their microwave if needed. Staff was the best part of my stay. Everyone was great. Thank you, to them all. Kinda noisy from outside my room. It wasn't unbearable, but, still noisy.

Although our beds appeared clean,we could feel the springs which made sleeping uncomfortable The paint was peeling in multiple places, dirty corners in the bathroom, the paint job was sloppy. The elevator didn’t work and I have problems with steps. The pool was closed because it hadn’t been cleaned for a long time. and there was a stale cigarette smell throughout the building.

I don’t even know where to start. The second I walked into my room, it reeked of stale cigarettes mixed with dog crap. The carpet looked like it hadn’t been cleaned since the 90s, the sheets had mystery stains, and the bathroom smelled like a wet ashtray. I honestly felt dirtier after showering. The walls are thin enough that you hear every cough, argument, and barking dog in the building. My “non-smoking” room was clearly used as an ashtray for years. I had to stuff a towel under the door just to make it breathable enough to sleep. The ONLY positive thing I can say is that the front desk lady was incredibly kind and helpful — she deserves a job somewhere that doesn’t make her apologize for such filth every day. If you value your health, your nose, or your sanity, do yourself a favor: spend the extra $20 and stay literally anywhere else.

I was poorly treated by staff. They sent me to a room that was occupied. The hotel smelled like pets and smoke. Barking dogs all through the halls. Water pressure in shower was unusable. No garbage can in bathroom. Television was too dark to see and couldn’t be adjusted. Very unsafe outside. Had to go to an atm off site to pay their $20 CASH ONLY deposit after room was already paid for. Horrible and scary experience and would not recommend. Too intimidated by the staff to complain.

This place is an actual joke. The images were nothing comparable. Instantly knew this place was not going to be comfortable to stay at. We were told we would have all amenities and when we arrived we were told one of our rooms did not have a microwave or fridge. Do not stay here and listen to the reviews!!!

Roaches all over counted 15 dead on the floor and 6 alive on the walls when we got up in the morning. The whole place reeks of pot and wet dog. The elevator has been broken for a month, according to the sign on the elevator. A big sign outside WiFi, there was no WiFi. The only good thing was the AC. Oh, one more thing, when we checked, they demanded a $20 cash-only deposit. That was not posted on Hotels.com
