I did not stay in this hotel. The outside looked extremely run down, but I paid for a budget hotel and that’s part of the deal sometimes. I went inside and the lobby seemed nice enough. And then, I got to the room. It was filthy! There were stains on the bedding, the chairs looked disgusting, one wall had stains all down one portion, the room had very obviously not even been somewhat cleaned beyond “straightening” the bed. I did not feel comfortable staying in that type of room and within thirty minutes I had left. The staff seemed concerned and stated that they would refund if possible, but since I had booked through Expedia I would need to go through them for the refund. I did, and the answer I received was that the management at the location would not approve the refund so they couldn’t do anything. I understand this is a budget location, but I have stayed in many of those before and I have always gotten a clean room. This was extremely disappointing all around to say the least.

It was one of the worst hotel/motel stays I've ever endured. The rooms were dirty, the floors were unvacuumed for the entire eight days we stayed. There was no routine towel/linen service. There was NO waste basket in the room. I repeatedly asked for one and 6 days into an 8 day stay, they finally provided one. The security door was broken and folks could enter the rear of the property with complete access. The table/desk in the room had no chair. I asked for one, and it took 2 days for them to finally provide one. When I went to the desk at the third day, the woman attender said you have to ask the housekeeping person for any towels, personally and if you don't run into them you can't receive clean towels. The hallways smell of a mix of pot and Clorox, and the shouting and screaming in the nearby rooms was outlandish. They sounded like domestic violence, but it was terrible. The coffee at the desk, was limited and ran out quickly. The pub and lounge that was advertised, is closed. It's storage space. None of the amenities were as advertised. There were no hangers in the closet. We bought some at the nearby dollar store. We had to buy our own TOILET paper, during the stay, because the staff would not assist in any of our routine, reasonable requests. This is a horrible, horrible place and should be removed from the Expedia listings.

Photos on Expedia are not of property, pool closed since it needed to be shocked, there is no hair dryer without deposit, and check in has bullet proof glass— it was close to down town but not in a good area and was disappointed. No free toiletries and internet was very slow.

Please do not stay here! Pictures do not match hotel. As soon as I entered the building, it smelled like old cigarettes. When we went into the room, there were flies, dirty socks, popcorn kernels on the floor and a roach in the tub. We asked to switch rooms, but the other room wasn’t much better and still dirty. Both rooms had burn holes in the bedding and curtains. Management had attitude and gave me the run around. Worst experience ever.

Blankets smelt like feet, thank goodness we had our own! For the amount of non smoking signs, you’d think the entire place wouldn’t smell like a 1980’s casino….

This place is incredibly gross. I ended my stay early. The worst part was an old nicotine patch stuck to the shower wall. I immediately left.

The staff were very helpful! I wouldn’t stay here again though. You get what you pay for sometimes. The worst aspect for me was the smell. There was a pretty strong cigarette smell around the whole place, and though my room wasn’t as bad, it still had the smell to a degree. The pool was odd too, it was deep with rounded sides, so it was awkward to stand in, or get in and out of. There’s a shallow end though! The kids who were there seemed to have a lot of fun.

This hotel was dirty and smelled terrible. I'm always amazed that a no smoking hotel always smells like cigarette smoke. The room was cleaned but had no blankets and hardly any towels. It will work in a pinch but i will be passing next time i come through Kansas City.
