This place was disgusting. I find it hilarious that they call it “Inn and Suites” when clearly there is low income housing that lives in the building. The exterior door handle was falling off and there’s no security so people can’t just walk in. Then we see the deadbolt in our work room doesn’t work. What a disgrace. If I could post pictures you would be as horrified. This was all after me calling and being told very rudely they didn’t have a room for me and hanging up.

Not a good experience

The room had insects and cobweds on the wall of the bathroom. I cleaned this up myself. There was alot of house flies. The building was being worked on the exterior on the side of the building I stayed in and there was garbage and cigarette butts laying around. I will not stay here again

Did not have proper security for the building. Anyone could get into the hallway where are rooms where. No card access. Lock on door was broke. Door to another room was in our room and door was not secure. Gelt a bit unsafe. Had my 80 year old mother with me so i had to get creative with securing the room.

Disliked: Room comfort
Checked in later, around 9pm. The room I received, was an adjoining room that had a door separating my room from the main room. There was no a/c nor heat controls in my room, which I did not appreciate. There was no kind of grab handles in the bathroom. This is something I haven’t done across in quite some time. Room was fairly clean, saw some hair in the made bed.

We checked into our room, and found the bathroom was dirty but the rest of the room was clean. The locks on the door did not work which made us feel very unsafe. We ended up putting the iron board from the closet in front of our door just to feel a little better. The outlet in the bathroom was sticking out of the wall which was very unsafe and made it unusable. There was also only one thin blanket on top of the bed which made sleep uncomfortable. The parking lot was very tight which made our vehicle a little hard to get in/out of. Overall, we were not impressed and will not be returning.
