Disliked: Staff & service
When we arrived, we noticed one of the bed frames was broken and we were quickly accommodate without a hassle. I did find it odd that most of the lights were not on for most of the night. The property was mostly lit by street lights. What I did not like was witnessing the front desk clerk racially profile a gentleman asking for a room. I witnessed the clerk blatantly lie about having no vacancy. Many curtains were open and obvious that no one is in there.

The person who sweeps just sweeps things under the bed or behind the night stands. There wasnt anywhere near my bed to plug my phone in. I used two towels to clean my makeup and it costed $35 from the deposit which wasnt a big deal. Other than a few things being dirty, i didnt mind. Overall enjoyed my stay. The staff was kind and insightful. Unfortunately the free breakfast wasnt available at the time..

Shower head is terrible - missing parts, so water is just shooting out of pipe- impossible to wash hair/etc. Water faucet in bathroom sink also broken, you have to hold it just right to get it to work. Towel rack continued to fall off wall every time we touched it. Toilet ran off and on all night. And , construction in room next door(or maybe below) starting at 8am. We were desperate for somewhere affordable to stay, so stuck it out. But, if you can afford anything else, I would recommend going elsewhere.

There was no curtains in most of the rooms. There’s no towels in the rooms to take a shower before you leave. It smelled like fermented pee. I have to shoulder and break into my room to get the door open. The staff barely speaks English and does not offer any discounts or refunds.

Stay other place close by and spend the extra $

the A/C unit was buzzing at a high pitch and had to unplug it. No end table lights, had to use overhead light at doorway entrance. Loud carwash outside window in AM. Room next door under construction at 8 AM to power equipment, banging. Night staff was rude, accusatory, and obnoxious upon arrival (AM was fine).

Some five star hotels are worse than two stars, but some two stars are better than four stars. This place is one of those I would coke back again. Excellent location, easy parkkng, clean room, whay else could I ask for. I can see they are refurburshing some rooms and I think mine was recently completed. The lift was a bit tired but overall great value.

There was mold in the shower and bathroom areas. A significant amount. One of the bath towels wasn’t white but had a hint of gray. The best part of the experience was the shower. That shower head had so much pressure it caused the shower curtain to flap around like a duck getting out of the pond.

Not Recommended

I would NOT recommend this motel due to cleanliness. Our room had a horrible odor and simply did not seem clean. The property was run-down in general. There were police in the parking lot “visiting” with other guests when we got up in the morning as well, which gave us a definite feeling of uneasiness. I honestly don’t have any desire to stay there in the future. I will say the rate was good and the location was very convenient , but not worth it for the issues mentioned above.
