The location is pretty good, its near Icon Park you can walk from the hotel to the Icon park. Some things they can improve on is the facilities, like the lights and plugs. Most of it is not working. We have stayed here 2nd time and still had the same issues. For the entire room 2 lights are not working most plugs are not working it only have 4 plugs working which is also not near the night stand.

This place is not pretty. My room was clean, but not fancy. My bed was clean, but not really nice. This was a cheap place to stay and I got what I paid for. The lady in the office was nice. Not trying to bad mouth the place. You get what you pay for.

We requested an accessible room but got a regular room instead. I asked the front desk clerk about the accessible room and she said all first floor rooms are accessible. I told her that our room did not have a shower but a tub. She replied that all rooms have a tub.
The beds were confortable.
The shampoo and conditioner were micro size.
The rooms faucets and showers appeared to be extremely old.
Parking was easy but it appears it only had 2 handicapped spaces.
Location was excellent.
Both front office clerks were very dry and appeared to go through the motions, just because they had to.
Plenty of restaurants around.
If you're fine with no frills, this might be an option.

Facility needs urgent renovation, lobby looked old . Elevator works but it's always dirty and looks old. The room looks old as well but it was very clean. Bathroom was renovated and very clean so that was good. The beds were a bit hard and made a squeaking sound when sitting or laying on it. Parking was easy and secure. This hotel is very close to Icon Park (walking distance) so that's a plus.

The first room they tried to give us had toenail clippings in the bed. We switched rooms, and it smelled bad. The A/C only worked half of the time, the fridge had a sour smell to it, the beds were hard and had a loud squeeking spring sounds. Then my wife found a cockroad in the bathroom. They only have one luggage cart, the staff seems uninterested in the customers, and were rude when asked to do their jobs. If you ever have the chance to stay here, just sleep in you car.

This place was the absolute worst hotel I've ever stayed at. Maria at the friend desk was very very rude and not a nice person. We asked if we could check in before 3 which she very rudely said no. My two year old was freaking out and it would have been so helpful. Regardless we sat in the lobby. She let us check in early when I went back and gave me a snide look. There was no bell hop service to help my sick mother and I up to our room. We had 4 suitcases and 4 bags a stroller a car seat and a 2 year old. We get up to the room on the 5th floor and the room is dirty. We waited 20 minutes for it to be clean now past the check in time. We get in the room and the AC is broken. I go down to her and she says yah we don't let people check in before three. Almost like she did it on purpose just to be extra cruel. She argued with me about the AC and then says she will send someone up. So I walk all the way back up again. She sends someone and the lady says you have to get a new room. So I walk back down and maria argues with me about the AC not working saying the lady said it works. I got very frustrated at this point because obviously I'm not walking back and forth for fun!! So she moves us to another room on the fourth floor after I unpacked our stuff and my baby was asleep and very hot and upset upon moving. We get to the new room and the phone is broken and there's no microwave. Absolutely terrible place. Don't stay here.

Where to start? To say that they have put in no effort to make this property decent would be unfair, as I saw people onsite working on rooms. The toilet appeared new in my room as well. People want a few basics when staying at a hotel, especially in a vacation town, a comfortable bed, good water pressure, general cleanliness. When they replaced the toilet in my room, the new toilet was taller. So they just cut a large notch out of the counter, leaving a crooked ugly cut exposed. The toilet was also crooked. Does this visually unappealing and crooked toilet affect its function? No, but it just looks bad. Besides there being non-working USB ports, non-working refrigerator in the room and some broken ice machines throughout, the overall cleanliness of the room was okay. The water pressure for the shower was awful, there was paint and/or adhesive stuck on much of the furniture. The bottom of the bathroom door was maybe rubbing or rotting from water at some point, so someone took a circular saw to it leaving a jagged and ugly exposed bottom, one of the bed frames had this terrible metal on metal sound any time you moved. There was also an old toilet in the breezeway next to the rear elevator on the 5th floor. Also, the floor in the elevator was all messed up and general outside cleanliness was not great. To be in such a nice and popular area, I would have expected much more. It feels like they're barely trying.

Staff is very rude, unprofessional and lack customer support at every turn. She refused to take any debit card I had even my business bank account debit card. Although no card i provided was cashapp, paypal, venmo, chime, or any of the sort. I even tried to provide a credit card that she didn't bother tp accept neither for the 50$ deposit. Going forward she refused to accept any business debit card all while refusing to just cancel my reservation. Her attitude was disgusting and i am reporting this situation to corporate, and the BBB. I had just got off work and was left to have to deal with that all while i remained calm, respectful, and professional despite her attitude. I do want a refund immediately. I was unable to check in

The sheets had stains. Like a lot. My daughter noticed BOOGERS wiped on the side of the bed. Half the lights didn’t work. Looked like bed bug stains behind the mattress. Little flakes of something everywhere. There were three sheriffs at the office when we came back from icon around 10pm. I took a lot of sleeping meds to sleep that night . Front desk lady doesn’t speak English well so was adding on fees beyond Expedia but not able to explain what they were for. The list goes on and on but just spend $100 more to stay somewhere else if you have to. We actually were going to eat the money and go elsewhere but due to 3 gymnastics/ dance comps going on + Valentine’s Day we couldn’t find anything under $600 at 11pm.

This hotel is in dire need of employees who care about cleanliness and customer satisfaction. The rooms are disgusting. The floor had dirty mop stains and felt sticky to the touch. My son and I wouldn't dare to walk barefoot on them. They have hotel fees, in addition to the room rate, which I guess is the norm, but the condition of the rooms makes you wonder what the fees are for, other than an way to extort more money from guests. There are a lot of pre-existing damages to the in-room furniture. For example, cracked tiles in the shower, missing ventilation fan in the washroom, ripped upholstery on the chair, gouges and scratches on the chest and table, etc. Worst yet, there was hair (not mine) on the floor and washroom. The sheets/towels are old and have stains (yuck) and don't look under the counters in the washroom if you don't want to blow chunks. My son's bed made loud metal noises every time he shifted. The door to the room was loose and shook on windy days and the outside noises sounded as if they were directly in the room. The hotel charges $50 to your credit card in case of damages. What a joke! How do they even know that something was damaged during your stay, when everything is already damaged? I took video of everything in the room upon entering just to make sure they didn't try to charge me for something I didn't do. In addition, the front-desk workers are not very nice/friendly. I could say more, but Expedia only allows me 1500 characters. 0 stars is accurate.

This a run down motel. Zero amenities or people to help. All the maintenance items look like DIY quick fixes that were never complete. Wall patches and caulk jobs that were never even painted. Floor were mopped with dirty mops so you had to wear shoes the entire time or you had black socks. Bed covers had burn holes in them. Box springs that squeaked so bad you could barely role over. House keeping would go behind us and turn A/C up to 75 degrees every day so the room was always hot when we got back. If you are desperate and need a place to sleep it will work but do not bring your family here.

The first room initially appeared clean and in decent condition. However, the beds were extremely squeaky—though I will say my autistic son actually found that part entertaining.

The major issue occurred when we were returning to our car from the fourth floor. We got into the elevator, and it immediately broke down on the third floor. I pressed the emergency button multiple times with no response. Eventually, I was able to call the lobby. Over the next 30 minutes, they repeatedly reset the elevator’s power, which left us—myself and my two children—sitting in complete darkness each time it shut off. It was a very stressful and frightening experience. A maintenance worker finally arrived and manually forced the door open to get us out.

Afterward, we were moved to a first-floor room, though initially I was told I could simply use a different elevator. Unfortunately, the second room had its own issues. The bathroom door was off its track and would not close properly. The beds were again extremely squeaky, and there was a broken floor tile with sharp, exposed ceramic edges.

To add to the frustration, when we requested clean towels, we were told housekeeping had not washed any that day, so none were available.

Overall, this was a very disappointing and concerning stay, especially with children involved.

The hotel is very outdated. The elevators and lobby need to be remodeled. Our check out was at 11am and the house keeping came knocking at 9am I opened the door and let them know we were checking out at 11am.
