So. Many. Roaches.

I knew this wasn't going to be glamorous by any means, and I knew what the neighborhood would be like going into the trip, but I was still shocked at how gross my stay was. Without a doubt the worst hotel room I have ever stayed in. There were oaches all over the place, especially in the
bathroom, and lots of stains on the walls/furniture/bedding. Would not recommend it unless you have literally no other option.

Bad neighborhood Be ware

Bed bugs!!! Tried to sleep on floor...layed sheet and spread off bed after spraying with bug spray.

I couldn't afforded to go anywhere else paid for 3 nights. Crackheads that live there up all night looking to make a buy.

I couldn't sleep so they were my entertainment

One guy riding on bike looking in folks cars came through 3x's. Then another man came and went througj the garbage dumpster. Then just stood there gor about 30 mins .

You think me taking their picture would of encouraged them to leave and not come back...not the case.

I found mu self checking in at the office where no one was available, called in to the number onsite to get a hold of the tenant/front desk manager without success for 30min.
Then a person, very irritated showed up.. asked me for more money as a deposit in cash if $20.. non refundable.. he did not accept a card as I’m used to do this type of business.. he Handed me the key to a room that was in a unhealthy smoking status.. it’s walls transpired so hard the smoke smell that I even cough. I wasn’t able to bring my wife and daughter to dwell in such condition. I headed to the front office to deal again with the irritation and miss treatment of the person in charge. I expressed my concern very respectfully and he offered a room with only one bed.. when I paid for 2 beds.. I declined the offer. He insisted to hand me an air sprayer.. as if that was going to fix it at all.. I declined again and requested very respectfully a refund. At that point I lost any hope that this room was going to work. I would not recommend this place at all.. this people in charge will do a great favor to the city just selling the place and upgrading significantly the management of it. Not considering that the infrastructure really need an upgrade. Specially for a price that is couple bucks away from a prime hotel experience as I experience that very night.

Horrible Hotel

Employees are crooks and evil. They cancelled my second day and lied saying booking company cancelled it. Hotel employees in physical fight with other guests and cops took guests side.

Hotel employee kept saying he was a Christian who can’t lie and that he returned my money to my card. Hotel booking company and bank said that was not true.

This hotel will blatantly lie to your face and try to steal your money, it is that simple.

Freezing at this Inn

I requested early check in at this motel. I arrived and there were no cars present except a few. In other words, plenty of available rooms. They charged me $20 extra for early check in and then proceeded to put me in a room where the heater did not work.
When I asked to be moved to a room with a heater I was told they had no other rooms which I knew was a lie.

I will not return to this location. They treat hotels.com customers like neglected step children.

This property needs an upgrade! Look, I get it, its a cheap hotel, and you get what you pay for. However, there is a large sheet of plastic over the flatscreen, in addition to the new tv film. I asked at the desk if I could remove them. He told me no, I'm only staying 1 night. Also had to ask for hand towels, as there were none in the bathroom. Thought I asked for her first born.

Good hotel, nice service

Enjoyed our stay. We were on a family trip and ended up planning an extra day so we had to find a hotel last minute. I'm the type that does a lot of searching before booking a hotel and this was an excellent choice. I was skeptical at first but I don't regret it. Very clean, great service, room was better than I expected, good price, would definitely book again.👍👍 It was better than other more expensive, luxurious hotels I've stayed at.

Crenshaw Business Trip - Week Stay

The hotel has clean rooms for your stay. Parking is in the courtyard, so your car is safe. I am leery of the area, but management says safe. I would still drive.

The towels are super thin, and you get a washcloth. No hand towel. The soap is the little tiny one, that is not replaced during your stay.. so I purchased a bar at the nearby Dollar Tree.

There is a chair in the room, and end table but NO desk. This is annoying if you have to work and have work to do. At least the internet is good.

There is a coffee maker and mini frig in the room.

The AC works well. The bed however does make squeaks with the metal base its on. It would have been great to have a light blanket if you are the type to want some weight on your body.

You do get your room cleaned everday. but it seemed a bit haphazard.. one day no towels, another day.. my pillows not on the bed, or not made up at all?

Overall, if you are going to be out of the room for most of the day, and just looking for a cheap place to put your head down... Go for it.

Worst $100 ever spent on a one night room! TRASH

I booked on accident, they wouldnt let hotels.com cancel my booking, they were still going to charge me for the night so obviously I had to go, I get there, I hated the area, I get in room, the air/machine wasn't working, the whole face of the machine came off (previously broken) I went in the bathroom and behind the door was holes like someone may have been socking the door to maybe get out? Anyway that should have been fixed before they even put someone in that room, didn't leave me with an easy feeling being there. Not being from the area I wish I knew what I was walking into! ABSOLUTELY WORST $100 I EVER SPENT ON A ONE NIGHT ROOM!!!

Pictures are deceiving

The owners were nice, but if you are going to run a hotel/motel of any kind, you must take care of your buildings. The walls and hanging pictures were stained and the room was filled with fumes from their cleaning products. Bathroom door had a hole punched in and I left with irritated skin and a few itchy bumps (my skin was irritated and itchy throughout the stay). The internet was also inconsistent. I have no problem with shady people or shady neighborhoods, I've lived everywhere and I know how to keep it moving...but I at least expected the room to look as it did in these pictures, and I did not receive that. I found hair in my towels and tub. I couldn't use them on my body....nor did I sleep in the sheets (which had a few oil-like stains and small holes). Lastly, I saw a roach on my last day. People, just spend a few dollars extra and book a more decent hotel. It's worth it.

Think twice

This independently run motel has a family working hard against long odds in a dicey neighborhood. They have taken a wreck of motel and have a work in progress on what appears to be limited funds. If you are a back-packer this doesn't work for you either, the price is expensive for what you get. Better option is a hostel. My small room lacked even a chair to sit on much less a table. Yes a small student size fridge and microwave, one on top of the other sitting on the floor. A bathroom sink at a height that only a tall person could reach comfortably. That said, the motel was full when I arrived and full when I left.

I've been in worse I suppose

It really is just a shame because the owners seemed really nice. The motel is just run down in general. I was happy there was protected parking because the neighborhood is a bit sketching at best. The door to my room didn't fit exactly, it was too small and had about half an inch of open space at the bottom so you could hear everything outside. This was a bit annoying especially because it happened to be raining and there was a huge puddle outside and all I could hear was the drip drop into it...talk about border line insanity inducing. I opted to not shower because the towels were sand paper... It is what it is overall, I needed a cheap place to lay my head for the night, but otherwise....never again.

Bad deal

It looks like a prison from the outside. Inside the courtyard where the doors to the rooms are located, it appeared that every window had bars and the outside walls were dirty. When we talked to the manager, it was difficult to understand him due his thick accent. We told him we could not stay at the hotel due to the poor condition and wanted our money back. He said that he would do that and gave us the number to call for a refund. Upon calling your company, you in turn, made a call to him and he refused the refund. later. No honor!
