The location was horrible . The room was dirty , some of the lights did not work and had roaches. We had to wait until the following morning to change rooms. The second room's remote control didn't work, room was not as dirty as first room. This was worst we've ever experienced

If I could leave a negative review I would. The pictures on the website are probably 20+ years old. Noisy people, unsafe area, stained sheets and towels, horrible shower head looks like a pipe coming out of the wall, dirty tubs, had to use shower shoes, somehow the bathroom smelt like weed. Over all an unclean room and even had lifted floor boards with water underneath that was no where near a water source. The person above us decided to walk/move furniture all night and we got no sleep, staff wasn’t there to inform. Also allows people to permanently live there. They also never clean their “pet area”. Just disgusting, should be shut down. We paid for 4 nights and left after 3; We couldn’t handle it anymore. Spend the money and stay somewhere else. I wish I listed to the negative reviews. Considering reporting them.

Horrible

Honestly, this hotel is disgusting. First of all I called before reserving to ask if the standard room, king size bed has a stove, microwave, and fridge and the guy told me yes. When we arrived there was no stove. They offered to change me to a room with stove for $40 bucks more so I said sure. We walk in the new room and you can tell that the only thing they did to the room was febreeze it. Everything was dusty, the fooors dirty, the shower was dirty as well. The shower curtains were all moldy and black at the bottom! Disgusting place. Later that day we tried to cook on the stove and it never turned on! Honestly, what the hell is up with this place.

I would never stay here again. The place is absolutely filthy and rundown. Spend the extra money and stay somewhere SAFER and CLEANER. The floors were so dirty, the bath was dirty, outlets didn’t work, curtains had rips. Homeless people right outside the property. Just avoid this place

It's ok.... If you just need a place to sleep for a few days. Seems like some guests are semi permanent. Which is fine because we all have times that we are in transition. Just set the bar low. But it's a place to sleep.

One of the Worst Hotel Experiences I've Ever Had

This was by far one of the most horrible rooms I’ve ever stayed in—and the worst part is, it wasn’t even cheap. Due to a highway closure, I was forced to find a last-minute place to stay. Most nearby hotels were fully booked, and unfortunately, this one was among the few with availability. I chose it because the price suggested it would be somewhat decent, and the photos on the website made it look clean and comfortable. What a lie. The room was filthy, outdated, and completely unacceptable for the price I paid. I immediately asked the front desk to move me to a cleaner, more decent room, but they claimed the hotel was full and that this was the only option. It was past midnight and I was exhausted, so I had no choice but to stay. The towels were disgusting, and the shower was in such bad shape we didn’t even use it. I wouldn't wish this experience on anyone. This place is misleading customers with false advertising and overcharging for substandard conditions. Absolutely unacceptable.
