The property was terrible. Outside was outdated and very dirty. Windows were not clean, rooms were disgusting. Was told I could not be refunded because I should have looked at the photos online to see what the rooms looked like. Meanwhile, the photos online as opposed to what it looks like in person is very different. Only plus side was the time it took to get to where we were going.

I would give this place 0 stars if I could. The room was absolutely disgusting and looked nothing like the pictures online. It was clearly not cleaned before we arrived.

The refrigerator was filthy, the bathroom was dirty, the toilet was broken, and the TV didn’t work. The washcloths and towels were stained and appeared dirty, and the bedding also had stains on it, which was completely unacceptable. The bed was extremely uncomfortable, making it difficult to get any rest. The rug was covered in dirt and stains, and there were spots on the bathroom floor that looked like blood.

To make matters worse, the smoke detector kept going off. Instead of fixing the issue, staff simply removed it from the room, which was very concerning from a safety standpoint.

This was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. The photos online are false advertising and do not reflect the actual condition of the property. I truly wish I could get my money back. I would not recommend staying here. Save your money and stay somewhere else.

Staff was ok and not an issue to check in. We were on the 3rd floor walk up 2 flights of stairs, no elevator. Walkway to room smelled of urine and weed. Bed had fresh sheets which were permanently stained but sheets were clean. Room was not properly cleaned in between dressers, refrigerator(had mold), carpet between beds was stained and not properly vacuumed. Desk chair was broken and should be thrown away. Apparently room may have been occupied by an artist due to all the various color paint splatters and glued on glitter hearts. Now I can tell you the good, bathroom area appeared redone with new sink, faucet, and shower. I did really like the shower head especially the mist spray setting. They appeared to be maintaining the property but really should stay on staff to clean up room properly, replace/update furniture and replace stained sheets.

One of the most horrible place I ever had stay to in my life. The room was very filthy. No iron, toothpaste or toothbrush, tv didn't work good, refrigerator not working. It took a day for the room to heat up. Arrived on a Thursday and live on a Monday and no room service. Only two wash towels. The sink got clogged up.The sheets and pillow case dirty, comforter had a hole in it. Underneath the bed look like you could plant sweet potatoes. All night noise from the planes, trains, loud vehicle exhaust, people talking in the parking lot and kids playing in the room above me

I had one of the worst hotel stays of my life at this location.

I checked in early and paid extra fees for early check-in. From the beginning, the room was a disaster. The heater did not work at all, and the room was absolutely freezing. On top of that, the phone in the room was broken, so there was no way to contact the front desk even if I needed help.

As bad as that was, it somehow got even worse around 8:00 PM. The water completely shut off — no water in the sink, no toilet water, and no shower. Nothing. This is not just inconvenient, it is disgusting and unacceptable. A hotel room without water is uninhabitable.

Because of this, I was forced to leave the property that same night, even though I had paid for the entire day and night.

When I called the hotel the next day (Monday 1/19/2026) to address this, the manager was extremely rude and unprofessional. He actually said, “When you checked in everything was working, and I know you took a shower during the day.”
Is this a joke? Am I not expected to use the toilet or have running water at night? That response alone shows a complete lack of accountability and basic customer service.

They refused to issue a refund despite the fact that the room was unlivable.

Save yourself the stress, money, and potential health issues. Avoid this hotel at all costs unless you want to freeze, be without water, and be treated disrespectfully.

Unclean and uncomfortable

So the look from the outside was dilapidated, but we still went to the front desk clerk to check in. The gentleman working the desk was extremely nice and personable, but the conditions of the front lobby were very uncomfortable. Once got our keys and went to the room, the room smelled musty, first thing. The sheets and bedding were not clean. The bathroom was the worst. We take a UV light just to check cleanliness. There were bodily fluids everywhere, small bit of mold, dirt in the corners of the bathtub. We then decided to stay there on 5 minutes to find another hotel on such short notice, we did and left within a 30 minute span. Our total time there was 30 minutes, we did not return. And, would not recommend it to anyone.

Shower door to our room would not close, causing flooding, and instead of offering us another room, we were given blame and only two towels for our convenience. Upon finally speaking to the manager, all we were offered was a “refund” that was less than ten percent of the stay, even for a safety hazard. He was also extremely unpleasant to deal with, rude, and arrogant. The outlet by our bathroom mirror was broken. Room was dirty with uncleaned hairs in the shower, we encountered bugs at least three times during the stay, and it smelled faintly of urine too. Not sure if the staff or room was more disgusting honestly, but I know I wouldn’t stay here again and neither should you.

The building and everything about the room looks very old. The frame of the bed nearer the rest room was not properly fitted with safety rubber cover. I bumped my leg into the sharp metal and what saved me from being cut open was the sweat pant I had just changed into. If I hadn't put on that pant, it would have been another story. I reported this to the clerk as I checked out the following morning and he promised to fix it. If it is not fixed, the hotel will be looking at a potential law suit down the road.

The desk staff was polite and very helpful. The property is about what one would expect from a Red Roof lately. Unfortunately, it was faírly dirty, the shelf in our first room and the fridge were broken. Staff was very kind about giving us a different room. Second room was better and it was a little further away from the neighbors whose pot smoke drifting into ours was pretty strong smelling. Other patrons were not respectful of the property: someone didn't clean up after a large dog that had pooped on the deck, and someone had left and empty dime bag on the stairs.
