Good for the who just don’t really care anything.
Room was not clean, still kind of dusty. Bed wasn’t changed after previous customer, there were some hair still on the pillows and blanket.

They charge extra
Conrado
Poor customer service, very late room deliery, very dirty exterior, very dirty interior, A/C very dirty-smell fongus, shower courtain with fungus black areas...........
Lauren
Our AC was not working whatsoever. The fridge was not cold but apparently we as guests had to plug it in and turn it on ourselves. We called to ask to switch rooms because it was hot and uncomfortable due to the AC and the lady on site told us it should be working and came to check on it. Tried saying it was on the wrong settings and that it would work soon. Never did. Ironically we got comfort from opening a window. Absolutely overpriced and run down. Half of the amenities that are advertised, do not even work!

Prejudice property.

I made reservations on line, not being familiar with the area. I feel the internet poorly represented the actual location and accommodations.
Jonathan
Over night front desk lady was horrible.
Horrible custumer service.
Shayna
Water was yellow when i turned on the tub . The fridge didnt work and food went bad. There was a roach inside the tub and very dirty bathroom
matthew
Our room was very dirty, AC was not on and didn't work well enough to cool the room efficiently. Staff unfriendly and unprofessional.
Charlie
Great Motel for the price. Clean guestrooms. Friendly & Professional staff. Microwave & Refrigerator in rooms. High open beam ceilings on the second floor. Everything was as expected.
Ethan
Extremely outdated. Charges transaction fee for the deposit and to refund the deposit. Have to give clerk PIN number because apparently card machine doesn’t reach the desk no option for apple/phone payments. Rooms unsanitary from the bathrooms to the remote controller. Sleep in your car and save the money if no other hotels are available. Don’t waste your time or money on this hotel
Luis
I arrived and it was raining. The desk lady was rood and looked like she didn’t want to help me with my reservation. I waited in the cold while being wet with rain water for about 15-20 minutes while she “verified” it was me. I felt like I was an annoyance to her for getting a room. They place a $100 deposit, which I understand… but at check-out I requested an inspection of the room because I live 7 hours away and don’t like surprises. The guy who helped me refused to check the room because it was “housekeeper job”. Just hope I get my deposit back and they don’t try to pull some funny $hit. 👎
I would have rather paid a little more for better service, but rooms were scarce, it was Christmas.

Charged $17 vs 10 dollars \"resort fee\" and $100 Security deposit.
There was a cockroach on my bed as soon as I opened the bed spread.
There was some interesting actors sleeping next door that look like they reside there.
no toilet paper
I would not stay here again.

The place was dusty. It seemed like it hadn’t been clean for a couple weeks. The location itself felt unsafe. The images provided seemed to be a better, safer, cleaner place but in reality wasn’t the case. Had to leave after the first night bright in early.
Verified traveler
Was looking for a last minute stay before ridiculous rates on memorial day. Hotel manager has been working there for 27 years, the room looked somewhat appealing online. When arriving you could see that this place should’ve been a junkyard.

I was bitten by bed bugs . Very horrible

The bed was not good, they need to improve on that and their hospitality.

The dusty star
This place was disgusting you walk into gnats flying in your face the bathroom window was boarded up, the towels were totally used the refrigerator was unplugged but before I can't even open it to plug it in it had a weird smell coming from it so I just didn't there were no smoke detectors or carbon monoxide detectors in the room. The AC had might as well not even existed there were people smoking dope out in the open this place just needs to be shut down
Hugo
Terrible worse experience in my life
They were trying to upcharge me for every little thing. This place is ultimately NOT RECOMMENDABLE.

The person was completely rude a s i think she was racist. Ultimately do not try to come here, you have been warned!

No visitors
A bit rundown, when I asked about the wifi was told it has been out for 2 months. The no visitors policy is ridiculous, my friend came to see me the clerk chased her down and was telling me from the ground floor no visitors, I won't be staying here again.
john
It’s okay

Not the greatest
The room had no microwave. No refrigerator. The towels were hand towels. And to be honest, it was kind of spooky.

First time in the area with a new unit. Had no idea where to stay so I checked online and this place had the best of the worst reviews, so I gave it a try. Definitely not worth the money. And a $10.00 cleaning fee on top. Thank God I’m use to cool showers. Would only stay there again if I had no choice.
Amir
Except the very nice manager everything was awful. Room was dirty, bathtub was not clean and 3 spiders were inside it. sheets and blankets were not clen and yellow spots were on them.
I paid $413 for one night ($326 hotel include taxes, $10 cleaning fee!!!!!! and the rest expedia fees!!!) and usually i pay less than $40 per night for this kind of places.
My worth experience ever....

Older property. Looks like they are trying to slowly keep it up. Pillows had a smell on them like people smell. Bedding was clean otherwise. Toilet would continue to fill when flushed until you took lid off and fixed the flapper & float stuck together.
Verified traveler
Too price for what we got. There was spider webs on the tub and on the Ceiling. The sheets on the bed had makeup stains. Not too mention poor customer service. Very disappointed
Verified traveler
this is the worst property ever, located in a really unsafe neighborhood. overall was unsafe and not good for family.
Verified traveler
Staff not very friendly, after I paid in full for the room tax included, they said an extra $110.00 charge to my credit card.
$100 for deposit (refundable) and $10 for cleaning
But They charged $120 to my card and only refunded $93
They pocked it $17 from my card and I will never stay at this hotel ever.

For the price they had people staying there, it wasn’t up to that standard even close. Everything was out dated and it wasn’t in the best area.

Horrible place!
This place was beyond dirty! We called the front desk 3x and no one picked up! I would NOT suggest this ever. I would rather of slept in my car all night.

Small but suprisingly comfortable. The outside is very deceiving.

We got there check in got in the room #128 we got ready to get in bed and the first thing I noticed was a blood stain on the bed sheets little one then we laid on the bed turn on the tv so I was tired so I cover my self under the blankets and I notice something moving on the bed sheets so I told my wife get up I saw something moving on the bed sheets and we got up and it was a bug not a spider we call it garrapata or chinche, si my wife call the office and ask for our refund and they said ok
Verified traveler
Nope.
Stood in the rain with my wife at 9pm for 5-10 minutes ringing the service bell at the window to get checked in. Nobody showed. Went to the Holiday Inn across the street and contacted Hotels.com to get my money back. Hotels.com got the owner on the line, who refused to give me a refund because of their \"strict policy.\" So pretty much the Stardust Inn took my money BEFORE our stay (payment is in advance online), didn't let us in, and refused to give my money back. Despite this, Hotels.com got me a partial refund (better than nothing) for our trouble. We had to take a short video for proof because the scenario sounds outrageous.
From what we saw in the parking lot, the old, unmoved vehicles and stacks of junk in parking stalls didn't leave a good impression. One man was awoken by us ringing the service bell and was looking at us through the window, so I imagine the walls are pretty thin.
Honestly, with the trouble trying to stay here, the terrible service, and the conditions of just the parking lot and what we saw, the lower price of this place just isn't worth the headache for the price difference of their nearest and more reputable competitor.

Don't recommend it
Too expensive for so little. Everytime I
tossed and turned the bed squeaked like crazy. The walls were very thin. I could hear the neighbors laugh all night. There's like four broken down rides in the parking lot. I was kind of upset when the desk guy said we aren't allowed to have visitors, if we did I would be charged for it. So my relatives could visit me. So I kept my guard up in case they wanted to charge me for something I didn't do. I took pictures and a video of the place when I arrived. It was in a creepy neighborhood. I wasn't satisfied while I stayed here.

Personal is very nice, but hotel is not the best. I paid 300$ for room, which looked like it was renovated 25 years ago
Mai
The room was dirty,hair in the tub, on the shower wall,hair on the floor. The towels were small like hand drying towels and they were also very dingy. The water temperature was luke warm, and this place doesn't even have an ice machine on the property. There is however a mini fridge in the room. I made sure that it was plugged in and put a couple of sodas into the fridge. I went to work and did some light shopping after work. That is at least 10 or 12 hours before I arrived back,and the sodas were still warm.

It was short but nice! Night manager was very compassionate women

High cost for low quality service
For the price, they are charging it's not worth what you getting for that high of a price. Overall the hotel is not in the best location, wifi is terrible, service and office personnel are not as good.
Cassie
My friend and her two kids that was in desperate need of a hotel room and they were not allowed to stay in the room due to her not having any type of credit card. I’m in a different state and paid for the hotel room for them. But because she didn’t have a credit card in hand they refused to let her stay. This place has not heart!!

Bloody Towels
Every single towel was stained and painful to use from how rough they are. Disgusting.
