Unfortunately the room did not look like the pictures. After walking in I was immediately hit with cigarette smoke, even though there was a no smoking sign in the room. There were stains on the pillows. The bathroom mirror and toilet both were cracked. We even tried another room again hit with smoke. We ended up leaving and not staying the night. i was even offered drugs by another guest on our way out!

Its a good price for 1 night stay. Floor isnt that clean so make sure you use sleepers. Beds were comfortable. TV not working. Shower takes about 2 mins to heat up. Close to a lot of restaurants, few mins 12-15mins away from the cruise terminal. Tight parking space but seems safe. AC is dusty but is working great.

Satisfied for a 1 night stay. I booked 2 rooms. The small room with a double bed was a bonus. But 1 room smells cigarette.

Bathroom is tight. I did not use their brown bath towel, I used my own coz I dont trust it being clean just like what I have read in the reviews.

When I originally made the reservation, I was looking to book a hotel for Friday, May 15. At some point in the system it changed to the 16th when I had booked this hotel. I immediately tried to change it and even called the hotel to see if they could change the date. I was not looking to cancel it. I just wanted it on a different date.
That
When I called the person answering, the phone said I had to go through Hotels.com and said good luck with that. Later, I got the response that the hotel denied canceling the reservation.

I would’ve been perfectly happy just to change the date to a different date. Service between the hotel and Hotels.com was horrible.

This was the worst motel I have ever stayed in, its more of a residence property and it's very outdated and has absolutely no amenities whatsoever, not even plastic water cups .
The rooms smell of smoke and urine and the bedding is from the 1970s ,also the beds are double beds ,not Queen or King. Bars on all the windows and rude staff banging on the door 5 mins past check out. Hotels. Com should not even be supporting this property, it is horrible.

Disastrous stay.

I stay in well over a hundeptec hotel rooms over the course of the year and this one was right at the bottom. Check in began with having to sign three pages of various conditions. Not ever a good sign.

Getting into my hotel room, I discover that the room was never cleaned from the las5 guest. Towels messed up, trash can filled with sexual lubricants and such and the bed looking suspect. To their credit, when notified, the desk cleaned the room and remade the bed with what I hope were fresh linens. It should be mentioned the hotel uses brown towels, far easier to conceal dirt and stains.

The hotel has installed overly technical Fire TV’s when what I watch is broadcast TV. First up, every time I turned on the television it went into a 10 minute reboot. In order to get broadcast TV, the desk clerk had to find a new remote since the one in the room wasn’t working.

As for the WiFi, it worked for about 15 minutes before disappearing for good. Perhaps the office could have done a reset, but not in the mood to return with yet another issue.

Do yourself a favor and pass this place by.

Not such a good stay

Surprised how cute it was on the outside but the inside rooms were less than be desired. Felt rundown and old. I was concerned about little critters so we slept with the lights on. The toilet didn’t flush properly so by morning it was plugged up. My morning shower was cold water. The man at the front desk was kind. If you need ice you better bring it yourself because ice there is limited. I would not stay there again

Cigarette Smell=Unhabitable

Billed as non-smoking, the room reaked of cigarette smoke. The staff tried to accommodate--no other room was available so handed me a bottle of Febreeze and said they would contact housekeeper. Said they would change room on second night. No amount of refund available or offered. Linens smelled clean but the smoke smell permeated the room. Had to find different accomodations. Gave stars because of the staff's efforts, otherwise this is 0-1 star place. I just needed a clean place to sleep since I was attending a workshop all day but the smell negated all the effort of cleanliness for the rest of the room and bathroom.

DO NOT STAY

absolutely horrific. walls paper thin I heard the next door rooms conversations, stunk like cigarettes, the floor was so dirty it stained the soles of my shoes. the bathroom shower curtain was a moldy brown fabric curtain, not plastic, so when it got wet in the shower it smelled horrific. the tv didn’t work and the wifi was a joke. the area is sketchy at best I was constantly stressed about my car being broken into. the only upside is the office worker was kind and helpful, but unfortunately the facility is disgusting.

Do Not Stay: Not Habitable: Not Comfortable

I had to cut my stay short and leave the next day due to the condition of the room. 1st, there was a terrible odor that made it impossible to breathe. It was toxic and caused me to get a bad cough by the next day. The room was cold and there was no blanket. The heater could not be used because it was full of dust and blew dust everywhere when turned on. Additionally, there were incense sticks stuck in the heating element. Beside the lack of a blanket, there was no bath towels, no working electric sockets in the bathroom, and no light bulbs in the bedside lights. The brown hand towels smelled, and the duvet cover was ripped and stained. The floor was sticky to boot. The toilet was filthy and had brown stains all over it. There were no hangers on the closet dowel which was also partially broken. The mirror had aluminum foil partially covering it as it was broken and not replaced. The room was not habitable at all. However, the man who checked me in was nice and friendly. Sadly, the hotel room is not habitable.

Our room was dirty, dirty pillow cases, shower, had someone’s dirty pants hanging on the shower rod, the sink and mirror were dirty. The guy who checked us in was helpful and refunded $20 gave new pillow cases and towels, said housekeeping would come in an hour to clean but nobody came. I worked as a housekeeper before so I know the standards of what it should look like and this was by far the worst place I’ve ever stayed. Smelled like cigarettes in the middle of the night very very strongly. I would have probably went somewhere else if it wasn’t so late and I wasn’t traveling all day with a child.

I needed a cheap place to crash on the way to somewhere else, and this place worked well for that.

It was a little dirty, but any issues I had were addressed by the staff (my key card stopped working and the office woman kindly fixed it for me at 1am).

It does offer weekly rates, so the rooms do feel lived in, but it worked exactly as I needed it to.

The general vibe of the room was pretty dirty. One of the light fixtures in the bathroom was missing bulbs, the light switches were kinda gross, the room was advertised as non-smoking but smelled strongly of smoke. The room I stayed in was a handicap accessible room, the shower reminded me of what you'd see at a pool, there was no lip at all, which means the entire bathroom floor was the same as the shower floor. I didn't use it, but it still dripped constantly, so the nearly whole bathroom floor was kinda wet.

No fault of the Motel, but the location is a bit sketchy, there were a few times throughout the night I heard people yelling at each other outside.

AC worked great though, TV was good, and it had a working microwave and fridge/freezer.
