Exterior Room Access Property

This property is more of a motel. This was definitely not stated in the hotels.com listing. Would have never booked it if I knew this in advance. All room entrances are exterior, outdoor access only. Granted, you have to gain entrance through a locked door...but when loitering homeless, drunk men (clearly high on something) stand outside smoking cigarette after cigarette, stumbling and falling to the curb....waiting for someone to open the door to gain access to the stairwell, was truly disturbing. Following our return from dinner, my daughter and I sat in the car for almost an hour, too afraid to go back up to the room. Bed was comfortable enough, but once we got settled, we noticed little flying bugs and multiple flies in our room. Bathroom towels were mismatched and quite old and crunchy. Breakfast was included in our stay but we couldn't leave fast enough.

Good for what it is

The service is great. You can tell they’re putting a lot of work into the inside/rooms. I would recommend for a low budget individual/couple. I went with young children and the area isn’t great (not the motels fault). A lot of outside noise, outside the rooms reeked of smoke. The rooms themselves were just fine. The customer service was good star, great!

The room was clean and very comfortable. No issue with room as it is clear they do a very good job with them. The bed was comfortable and bathroom very clean. I can see that they are trying very hard with updated parking lot, plenty of lighting in parking area, safety features of locked doors to exterior entrances with key code access only. The price was good for what I got and staff was attentive when I raised an issue.

Located in a terrible neighborhood with multiple homeless people outside, the room was dirty and the tv wouldn't work. The front desk was zero help when asking multiple times and I finally had to move a very large desk, fridge area to find out the electrical cords were not plugged into the tv. Wouldn't recommend to anyone.
