There is not much to like about the hotel. After checking in, it took us about half an hour to get to our room. First, we were given a room (301) that was inaccessible. The elevator was broken, and a steel bar bolted shut the third-floor door. So we were not able to get to our room. We returned to the front desk, reported this, and were given a new room. It wasn't easy to get to this second room (266) because many doors were chained and bolted. Since this process took so long, my wife needed to go to the bathroom, but no restrooms were available since all of them were locked and inaccessible. We finally found our way to our room, which was in poor shape. The molding had detached from the wall, and the towel rack was falling off. The shower did not have hot water, so we were unable to take a shower. The chair in the room was filthy and stained, so we did not want to use it. We also found a bug crawling in the room. From the outside, it looks like it was once a great hotel. The pictures shown on the webpage were from its better days. The lobby and rooms bear no resemblance to what they are now. The swimming pool and restaurant have long been closed, and there was no ice machine. We say many people that look like they are homeless. We did not feel safe.

PLEASE READ**WARNING*** BEWARE****CAUTION NOT SAFE

Terrible experience dirty bugs in room sink was plugged dirt and debris plugged air cond filter,owner entered room on multiple occasions watching for you to leave and entering room with no warning with out any notice of needing to enter. Then was blamed for having a dog in room because owner claims bowl was on floor in room..I have no pets ?!! lol owner admits entered room from adjacent room hearig a dog he claims then enters room when we left didn’t see or find a dog but claims bowl on floor was for a dog, tried to charge me for a dog I don’t have then asked to leave after 5 night stay for having imaginary pet dog??!! soo confused.. place is dump elevators don’t work ,signs all over the place about police department patrolling ,homeless people hanging out all over the property ,evidently that’s where he gets his true business from here. That’s how we were treated anyways. this place is more of a flophouse than a hotel. protect your personals in your privacy staff entered room with no warning on prior days claiming they didn’t know if we checked out or not it makes you feel like more is going on in this hotel than what meets the eye. all pictures photographs provided on websites and advertising must be 20+ years old the place is that ran down with no upkeep exterior landscape unattended to

The halls and the room smelled. The curtains were filthy, and the mini fridge was disgusting in side and didn't even work. When I called the front desk, they told me if I had sat on the bed or used the bathroom that they couldn't switch my room. I had just walked into the place. It was 1am and there were people yelling and fighting down the hall plus there were cars in the parking lot that looked abandoned. Needless to say, I didn't stay!

This was literally the worst place I’ve ever stayed in in my entire life. It was expensive and I feel like it was a joke that was played on me. They even have signs in the lobby that say “if you don’t like the amenities leave” , “Don’t let anybody in without looking through your peephole”. There were two cockroaches in the room. There were stains all over the walls. They were eaten chicken McNuggets in one of the drawers.Literally the most disgusting place I’ve ever seen, and honestly Expedia should refund my money.

The room needs major renovations and new furniture. The tub was very uninviting and i chose not to use it. The TV had no signal even ater checking the cable connection. Non working elevator. The bed was clean and comfortable and the room was large.

Both employees that I spoke to were great. I feel like the customer service is really good however the room was very dirty and was the home to a huge family of cockroaches that were on the bed, climbing the walls, and calling the bathroom, their homebase. The parking lot was a little sketchy but overall not bad. I truly believe that if there wasn’t a bug problem, it would’ve been fine but when you’re ready to go to sleep, and there are cockroaches in your bed, it’s kinda hard to sleep. That was the final straw for my family and I. We immediately packed up and went down to the front counter to check out and hopefully get a refund. The employee was very nice and said that she had processed a partial refund and I should be getting that refund within the next few days hopefully that goes through.

Place looks nothing like the photos. You could see stains on curtains, bedsheets, the mattress, and even the furniture. There was blood stains on the wall. Windows were broken and covered up with cardboard. Cockroaches were running around. Hallway smelled of weed and cigarettes, even the rooms I booked smelled - even though I booked for non-smoking. This place is a run down cheap option for long term stay for the locals. Worst experience ever. Do not book here.
