Worst hotel ever,of 55 yrs.of life

Avoid this place I would rather slept in my car, upon arrival owner looked horrible in dress and manner,he cursed every other word dropping f bomb in front of 9 yr old granddaughter. The first room he gave us was uncleaned and totally filthy ex.urine all over bathroom floor toilet etc.The only sink was broken with actual faucet lying in bathroom. There were very unsavory people loitering everywhere on 27rm small complex. When I told him condition of room and the fact it was unacceptable he and his(housecleaning) became angry at me. I have never stayed in a hotel or even seen one that's such filth and disrepair and they acted like I had a problem for not accepting that room. I could not believe it I thought someone from a hidden camera service and pop out any second cuz it was such a joke and discomforting and downright offensive I thought I had to be some kind of joke. And that's true why is this bad she said and still it was filthy I walked in in my feet stuck to the floors as I walked all I wanted was to take a shower and rest but I wouldn't climb into that thing they call it a shower if my life depended on it. Please avoid this place at all costs I have never seen anything like it , disrepair,filthy,nothing up to code. A TOTAL NIGHTMARE THIS IS ALL 100% TRUE WORST HOTEL IN 55 YEARS OF LIFE

You can tell they are on their way to improvement...but theyre just not there yet. It felt unsafe. There was ash and leaves on the sheet, a ball of hair on the floor, stained and irregular towels in the bathroom, rusted sliding lock, and capped but exposed visible wires on the doorframe. We ended up leaving that night because we didnt feel clean or safe. But there are visible improvements. The kitchen area was definitely improved and there was a nice television. They will get there, they just arent thete yet. The staff was friendly and understanding.

This property is currently being renovated to attract more clientele. Michael was extremely affable and responsive. He cares about the property and is working hard to make upgrades. The best part of the room is the huge T.V. screens. Some are cable, mine was Roku. All rooms also have a full size fridge with freezer. Also a plus was a table and chairs to sit down and eat. The beds are very comfy. At first the water temp was just warm, but after asking Michael the water was very hot.

I'd rather sleep on the ground

To call this place a dump is an insult to dumps. I have never seen a nastier room in my life. The smell of marijuana was unbearable and the staff is incredibly rude. The toilet didn't work and sink was clogged. STAY SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!

Stayed here on different occasions and each time the rooms were in used condition. Beds were made but sheets never changed. Housekeeping takes shortcuts and management does not care. Found blood stains, lots of hair and crumbs in bed. Towels were used and when you ask for fresh sheets/towels the staff does not apologize and just give you dirty sheets/towels back. Rooms had personal belongings from previous guests in them and there were cockroaches.

When we arrived the person at the front desk was very nice to us though he was drinking a beer on the job. The outside of the building was very rundown and the office was not as depicted in the photos. When we went to our room it was very dirty on the floors tables and bed. There was flakes of dirt on all the surfaces and there were visible pee stains on the sheets and mattresses. The toilet was clogged with a large quantity of poop that would flush. Overall felt too unclean and unsanitary to stay so we checked out right after viewing the room. The hotel would not give us the money back because they said that the room was fine.

Please DO NOT STAY HERE!!!! Don't be convinced by the pics, the room isn't like that. Don't look at the price and get fooled. You WILL NOT sleep it is so filthy. If you go to the office, you need to call someone to come over from their room and they may not answer. Expedia should not list this place because it fooled me into thinking it was serviceable , but it's totally gross. Someone's soap was left in the shower with hair on it. Please avoid this place.
