This property was the most dangerous and disgusting places I have ever seen. We didn’t even stay two nights I had booked from how disgusting that place was. First thing we saw were dirty old shoes just left inside the office where the customers walk in. The smell of cigarettes was very strong in the office almost enough to make breathing difficult. What we observed in the outside of this property was suspicious and made me feel like my family and I were in danger. From the storage room came out a girl who was dress in her pajamas to receive this man that was saying something to her, which made her look in our direction. This Inn allowed people to stay as residents for a fee of 435$ weekly and most of the residents were usuals because the feeling of being watched was intense. We quickly realized that we were not regulars, but all the people we encountered outside were regulars and custom to the business there to put it into nicer words. Looking at all this made me feel so unsafe and I was worried about my car not being able to park it where I can see it from my room. When we got to our room that’s when I freaked out and I regret not taking pictures of that experience. I have strong allergies so when I first walk in my face started to burn and inch. The air was heavy with cigarettes and weed that it almost had a texture. The bed sheets were ripped and stained, the walls and ceiling were dirty with dust, and the bathroom was absolutely disgusting. Please don’t bring you family h

Place was disgusting. Guess that’s what I paid for. Cheap but I was worried what I was sleeping in. Carpets were ripped, stained and had cigarette burns, as did comforters. Chair should have been thrown out, there was barely any leather left on it. Looked terrible. Wouldn’t sit. I wouldn’t walk around barefoot either. There was hair in the tub, and the sink was dirty. All the lamp shades were broken. Only good thing was the tv worked and the mini fridge worked. Inside every drawer was dirty. Every corner of the room and bathroom was dirty and had crumbs and whatnot in them. Spots on the bathroom floor that should be easy enough to scrub away. Just downright gross.

Please, for the love of everything on this earth, DO NOT book this place! Upon arrival after a late night flight, I was met with the receptionist at the front desk just straight up sleeping. Then when the receptionist wakes up and gives me my key, I walk into one of the dirtiest rooms I’ve ever seen a lodging business dish out. Roaches lined up against the walls, burnt comforters, rusty lamps, and some of the dirtiest furniture I have ever seen! I went to the front desk just to have to awaken the receptionist from their peaceful slumber once more to complain. The receptionist then gets me another room, which was in almost the exact same state. When I went to lay down because it was 2am and I stopped caring, not only were there tweakers hooting and hollering around, I started itching, like really bad. I looked around the bed to see very subtle signs of bedbugs and that’s when I said “nope” and checked out. Oh, and when I said my complaint about the bugs, the other receptionist there had the nerve to tell me “that’s nature, but ok.” Like you can’t be serious, right? The best part about all of this was when I called to get my refund through Expedia, only for the lady on the phone (who was very helpful by the way) to tell me that after 3 tries she couldn’t get ahold of the front desk! So again I plead, spend some money on yourself the first time and don’t make the same mistake I did.

A complete refund with additional perks would be even enough to satisfy my dissatisfaction. I could not sleep. I could not take a shower. Everything was dirty from the lobby to the stairs all the way to the room. You should remove the hotel from your list. I would not recommend Expedia if this hotel is part of it. I am a long time Expedia customer, this is the worst hotel that expedia put me. The pictures on Expedia website are lies. I hope I didn’t have to review this hotel but I am so disappointed that I have to do it. I have pictures of the room and area if Expedia wants me to upload.
