Ibalready posted a review this morning - I left early; it was so bad. Roaches in the kitchen and bathroom, and the fridge was so loud! And a dog barking in the room next door! I did NOT sleep well. I literally had to keep the lights on so that the roaches would stay back! OMG - I had to put my clothes bag in the fridge so roaches wouldnt get into my stuff! I had checked in late, then had to leave for an event and came back late and found all this above. Uggh! I will NEVER come back and I WANT A REFUND! SO DISAPPOINTED!!

As soon as I walked in the door it smelled the counter top and floor was cover in cockroaches. The carpet was full of crumbs and the fridge was full of splattered food.

Incredibly dirty room, I did not stay there

I was in the room all of five minutes before deciding I wasn’t going to stay there. The sheets were dirty, it looked like no one had clean the place in a while, and the entire room was pretty gross. When I went down to the front desk, they told me they would be unable to process my refund until a manager was on duty, which was not going to be until the next day. I’m still waiting to hear back on my refund, but I’m so glad I stayed somewhere else instead.

Nobody was there to help us check in.When we got there. we waited in the lobby for an hour for anybody to possibly, come help us check into our room. And nobody came so we had to go buy a room somewhere else for the night after we already spent money on this one when I called the next day. The manager had nothing to say about the situation.
