At check in, the front desk clerk asked for a card for a deposit, I handed it to him even though there was a card reader. He took my card information and gave me a key, I was not charged anything for a deposit nor was I refunded. One week later I get a fraud alert from my bank. I have not used this credit in months, because I wasn’t charged anything, I have to believe he stole my credit number. How ever the room was clean but the shower drain was clogged

This place is a dump. The bed was terrible, the shower floor had old black stains in it, the bed spread had stains on it, and the location was horrible. There were many many homeless people. In fact when I woke up in the morning to go out the door, there was a homeless person sleeping on my porch. I just packed up and left. It was very sad and disgusting.

The last few days of my stay became a nightmare. I’m has staying at this location for close to a month. I had 2 different rooms the first room was better than the second one nice TV’s for any downtime I had but the mold in the bathrooms in both rooms, the internet not working in my second room at all I mentioned that to the desk clerk and he just looked at me stupid. If you like Prostitutes and drugs this is the motel to party at I guess. Do not stay here!!!
