Should never take 45 minutes to check in. Especially when you advertise the desk is open til 9pm, and there's not one thing on any page for expedia about a $250 deposit. Definitely womt be back, though location and room are good. How is it that a manager cant check someone in?

My property was stolen by one of the cleaning ladies, i dont know her name but she stays in room 102. Manager Teresa wouldn’t check the security cameras. The next day my paid booking for 3 days (Oct15-18) was cancelled by her for no reason and I was not allowed to check in. She lied and told me it was canceled through Expedia, but when I spoke to Expedia, they never canceled and it was an “ongoing trip” as if I had checked in and were still there. I went to another hotel last minute and it’s very nice, but about double the price of the Uptown (which is why I chose the place ). Also, cockroaches in room 127, room136 was falling apart- sink n vanity detached from wall & water leaking on floor, old dirty air conditioner gave me allergic reaction, floor boards coming up. All rooms have stains on walls & floors. Cleaning for a new guest is only changing the sheets and mopping the floor. I did all my own cleaning. And if you need something (toilet paper, towels etc) good luck. I bought my own and washed my own sheets and towels

This is obviously a very old and ill maintained hotel property. And as such, the price is low, but I still expect a certain level of cleanliness. The room was filthy! The bathroom tub hadn’t been cleaned in quite a while, and the towels were filthy! They had visible yellow stains! I drip-dried rather than use them on my skin. The bed was loosely made and while the sheets appeared clean, the comforter was definitely not. As for the property, the office was a shambles, and the pool was green and dirty (it was closed). The staff were nice though, so no complaints there.
