First room was flooded with water and the lady at the desk knew about it already and did nothing and kept trying to check people into that room. 2nd room we got smelt heavily like mold and it had an air humidifier in it that was apparently broke and started throwing out pieces of plastic. Also there were tweakers fighting in the parking lot for most of the night.

I would say the floors hadn’t been cleaned in 8 months or more. My son spilt something so I wiped it up and my wipe was solid black. The whole places smelled like mold and mildew. They have had bedbugs at some point in time because the stains on the pillow cases and sheets showed that. They didn’t even have the decency to throw those away. The Wi-Fi didn’t work the entire time we were there. The staff at the front desk wasn’t friendly either. She gave me an attitude because I had to come back twice because my key stopped working. 0/10 do not recommend.

Disgusting. Bodily, bloody fluids on both bedspreads in the room as we entered. Management did not offer to move us in spite of plenty of rooms available. We slept in our clothes on to of the comforter. Coffee in the lobby late to be made on both morning we were there. Way overpriced for what it is. Do not stay here.

Just okay.

It was okay. The room was good for the price. We had to wait around 15 minutes for someone to come in to check us in to our room. He snatched things out of my hands and tossed them back. I didn’t love that. Overall, the stay was fine, however we won’t stay at this particular location again.
