Not a family place

I booked this hotel in advance, but when we arrived at 11:30 PM, they had no record of my reservation. The front desk employee, who mentioned being on their 3-week notice, offered little to no support. We weren’t the only ones with issues—guests who arrived before us had key cards that didn’t even work. When we finally got into our room, the door hinge was wobbly and didn’t feel secure. Within minutes, we saw a homeless person trying to enter the property and even witnessed a prostitute walking out of one of the rooms. The room itself smelled awful, and the bathroom looked like a “clean version” of something out of the Saw movies. Every time a neighbor flushed their toilet, a vomit-like odor came through our vents. I was there with my wife and kids, and I felt genuinely unsafe. This place was absolutely not family-friendly, not clean, and not welcoming. To make things worse, not only was my reservation not found, but I was also charged twice. We left by midnight—30 minutes after arriving—and will never be returning.

For what it is, it was overpriced. There were maintenance issues. But my biggest issue was with the noises. It's next to train tracks so there were loud train nooses even into the evening. But the worst was from other guests. Car parties and excessively loud stereos from neighbouring rooms made the stay rather uncomfortable. The room had a refrigerator but no microwave. There was 1 microwave for the whole complex and it was done for at least a day.

Roach on my pillow as soon as I walked in. Smell of bleach was strong in room. Ripped towels. Staff is good. Considering the price was not much cheaper than surrounding hotels, book a hotel if you can.

Garbage

When you dirty floors, clean with some type of sticky steps where I could call someone to sign the fall. Front desk is rude. Check in after five and you could feel immediately on your shoes in your feet substance front desk. Person said he was African-American that could just be that my feet were sticky or dirty stupidest thing ever heard And she said it wasn’t her problem. Everything about the property is horrible. They take a break and come back 15 minutes after the break has been over. They should tear down this dump

This property should not be allowed on Expedia. This motel is one that people live in. Do not bring a family or loved one here. It’s not safe. The police department sets the check-in procedure, which is posted right on the secured check-in window. The rooms are hot and stuffy, and there are no air-conditioned ones. I checked in at 11:30 p.m., and more people were awake than sleeping. I was trying to save a few dollars, and it was not worth it.
A wooden box where there should be an AC.
