I was thinking that the photo on the website is very descriptive. The hotel was lower in quality than a Motel 6. There were no real pillows and the television didn’t work with the remote that was available. I felt like I was in the slums of the city. Maybe you should look into the advertising for this place

This place was a disaster that the quality of looked nothing like the picture in the listing. There were broken windows, unprofessional hand scribbled notes on the door, homeless bums around the area and by the door; which was locked so we couldn't get in and there was no one inside to let us in either. The area in general felt VERY unsafe! This "hotel" stole my money. We had to go find a hotel elsewhere.

PLEASE AVOID!!!

I CANNOT understate the HORRIFIC nature of my check-in. I have NEVER felt so close to being physically ASSAULTED by the men there at/during check-in. Truly, the ANC Police Dept should have been present, perhaps investigate, as well as ANY governing agency holding authority over hotels in ANC. NOBODY at the desk upon arrival...so 3 call-outs to anyone went un-answered. There is a door marked "Security" close to the front desk, which was open about 6 inches or so. I called repeatedly into the room and barely touched it as I called out for ANYONE to check me in. I immediately smelled and witnessed EVERYONE in the room smoking pot--and it appeared that there was drug paraph. both in the bed and on a small table easily within view. Within seconds, I was accosted by THREE males PHYSICALLY THREATENING me for touching the door that had exposed EVERYONE inside doing drugs! Thank God, there was a lone female that "processed" the check-in as quickly as possible and tried to talk the males "down" that were threatening me. She required NO ID as long as I kept me my shut and tried over & over to get the men in the place to stop cussing at me, and most espec. to stop THREATENING me for "opening the door" to their drug use. I have NEVER been soooooo scared for my personal safety at ANY lodging anywhere IN THE WORLD that I've traveled. There is soooooo much more detail, but these reviews aren't equipped for what truly amounts to a statement that should be given to the Police.

The place is as ghetto as can be with hoards of crackheads in and around the building, i never even made it inside, when i got there the main door was locked and they had a crackhead come out to get my name and then go back inside only to come out again and tell me my room wasnt clean yet and to come back in an hour (it was 7pm). Then i said id like to cancel and they told me that was fine and i wouldbt be charged and they charged me anyway

The hotel is in a very bad drug dealing area. Even cab companies avoid coming here. It took 7 cabs going by until the 7th finally stopped to get us to the airport. The place is very dirty, many thing’s broken or missing. The staff lies. They advertise free shuttle to and from the train station and airport. They do not have a shuttle service at all. I only booked this after talking to them directly verifying that they would pick us up and drop us off. After booking I checked 2 more times and they again verified that they would pick us up and drop us off. When we arrived they refused to pick us up. In the morning they refused to take us to the airport. Smoke detector missing from room. Open wires sticking out under desk. Fan had no cover. Heater couldn’t be shut off and we couldn’t cool the room below 80+ degrees. It was a scarey and miserable night.

The staff member was really nice. The motel needs updating badly. The window of our room was open with the screen torn and pried up. The worst part was random people kept walking in and out of the front door with several people hanging out there. Felt uncomfortable so we went to a different motel.
