Beware, Abandoned building next door!

Apparently, Hotels.com does not vet there properties well and isn't concerned about the safety of their clients. This property is located next to an abandoned, boarded up property and is not in a good area. We drove up to the motel and there were people hanging out on the balcony, and the property was not well kept. I contacted Hotels.com to cancel our reservation because I did not feel safe in tbe area and was advised the owner of the hotel would still charge us because we did not cancel within the alloted time. The safety of my family is worth more than the money spent on that motel. The pictures shown online do not accurately reflect the property, Buyer beware!

Awful bed, deafening air conditioner. With a Days Inn a few minutes away, no reason to stay here.

After another hotel in the area cancelled my reservation, I ended up here for a quick overnight to get some sleep. It was a last minute booking and maybe some of the other rooms are ok, but 217 is in the back section of the hotel. Listing did not specify if it was a smoking or non smoking room. Cigarette holes in the bedding, heavy cigarette smell, secondary safety lock broken on the door. Old air conditioners sitting on the walkway outside, rust from the upstairs walkway on the lower walkway, shopping carts on another area of the walkway. IMO the hotels.com rating and the price point are not deserved
