This should not be on Hotels.com

The hotel itself is not a great location which is ok and for the price that would be ok, but the hotel and the room itself were no where compared to what was shown in the pictures. The manager was very receptive but looks like not a lot. Is under their control as they may have instructions from the owner to rent out rooms to fill the hotel. The room I got did not have air conditioning, the walls were broken and patched up, the floor was not clean and sticky with dust on the floor. The bathroom was not completely clean, the shower area did not have any railings or counters to keep any toiletries. The towels given were bad and had steins on them. I requested for exchange and even the exchanged ones were not good. The room had a fridge that was half functional, a microwave that was smelling bad and a TV that did not work. It would have been ok if they did not have these, as opposed to having them at such conditions. Also, what was the minimum excepted that the rooms are neat. The cleaning was not done on a daily basis and when asked I was told that you have to pay tips if you wanted that. They cleaned my room once for a period of stay of 5 days and even after cleaning it was bad. (See the photos attached). The worst part was people smoking weed from other rooms and people were so noisy in other rooms and my room start reeking of the weed smell on the last day. The manager and I went and asked people not to smoke and I was asked to keep my room open to let the smell go away 😳
Broken fridge
Broken table counter which was sticky
Shower had a patch work done
The AC Unit was broken and did not work.

Never again

The room was absolutely disgusting and I really want a refund. The guy at the front desk literally told me that “the room isn’t disgusting, but you should lower your standards” there were stains all over the bed. And the floor was sticky, and most of the furniture was broken. Ended up just driving home because you couldn’t sleep there. Also check in was at 3 but was told we couldn’t go to the room until it was cleaned at 6pm

In addition to being in a neighborhood that reflects deep American poverty, the word that would best define it is dirty. Everything is dirty, the room, the bathroom, the entrance staircase... When I arrived and was shown to my room, the smell of cigarettes and the smell of people who had previously occupied the room filled the room as soon as the door was opened. After seeing a second room, smelling of weed this time, I was offered a third without the smell of cigarettes or weed, but dirty... The manager had taken the time to take the toilet spray to perfume the room when I was waiting at the hotel entrance. The sheets, towels, table and sink were dirty (traces of mascara, pantyhose, etc.). As for the floor, it deserves a paragraph of its own (sticky enough to hold your best posters for the next decade). I was initially refused breakfast, even though it was included in the price, because “there are fewer people than last week”. I insisted and got a reheated coffee, probably from the week before. On the day of departure, I asked for my bag to be kept for the day, and was asked to pay $20. It was too much! I refused and expressed my dissatisfaction with the stay. He agreed to keep my bag free of charge on condition that I didn't write any negative comments, “that's up to you”, I was told. As a result, this hotel fits in perfectly with its surroundings and the people who live there. Tourists, it is to be avoided absolutely, as is the neighborhood.

Easily the Worst Hotel I've Ever Stayed at

Rough neighborhood. Screaming people outside and in the hallway made sleeping extremely difficult. I had multiple people try to come into my room in the middle of the night. Eventually, someone started banging on my door while jimmying the handle. I had to jam the chair infront of the doorhandle for an extra layer of security. Sheets were dirty, overall a layer of stickiness on everything in the room...it just felt grimy. I only stayed one night of my two night reservation because of how unsafe I felt. Owner refused to refund the 2nd night because I didnt tell him about the issue until after the fact, but it felt too unsafe to leave my room at the time it was happening.

Sad state of affairs

Someone from the hotel called me because they were closing at midnight and I had not checked in yet. They said they cancelled my reservation and hung up on me! I had to go find another hotel at 2am and pay a lot more. AND they didn't refund my money.
