The second I pulled in there was no doubt I wouldn't be staying at this property. It was trashed & appeared to be very unsafe. I circled around the property to find a man with no shirt and no shoes chasing another man on a bicycle while screaming, cussing and trying to hit him with a stick. There was tons of trash, broken and damaged furnishings & bags of what appeared to be clothing all throughout the parking lot. The \"pool\" was filled with broken furniture, mattresses & had a tarp on it attempting to cover it. No answer after repeated calls to the property and it appeared to have bulletproof glass at the registration desk. Most of the doors look like they have been beaten in with a sledgehammer. Most windows were broken &/or taped together. I wasn't expecting a luxury resort at the low cost but I wouldn't stay there myself, let alone with my child. Looks like a horrible extended stay property gone wrong! NO I DID NOT STAY OR EVEN GET OUT OF MY CAR! The pics you see AREN'T reality. It should be removed from Expedia.Do not book here!!

Pool not up and running, no breakfast (pretty sure it said breakfast included but not sure) most of the people staying there lived there. Brand new mattresses and showerheads but ever heard the term \"Lipstick on a pig\"? yeah. that. 100% THAT. Area is unsafe day AND night.

Property site was poorly kept. The nicest thing in the room was the shower head. You could tell the door has been kicked in. Sketchy people outside. Only nice thing about this place is that is like 12 minutes from airport.

I’m surprised this place hasn’t been condemned. First, I reserved a 2-queen room, and when I checked in, they put me in a single king room for me and my teenage child, saying they didn’t have a 2-queen room available. This was just the start, but I’m not sure where to go from here.
- could not get the bathroom door open without banging it off the toilet.
- The refrigerator door wouldn’t close, and when I opened it to look inside, there was a dead cockroach on the bottom of it.
- it was almost midnight when the smoke alarm in the neighboring room started blaring and would not stop until a maintenance staffer disabled it almost an hour later.
- there was a long marble-topped table at one side that was sticking partway out into the room. When I tried to position it closer to the wall, the entire half of the table disengaged and collapsed on itself, and it was very heavy.
- 2 remotes for the TV. Only one turned the TV on, and neither one worked beyond that. Then after midnight when the TV started turning on by itself every 15 minutes or so, the only way to make it stop was to remove the plug from the wall. It was plugged in behind that heavy-assed table, too, so that was another unexpected annoyance.

There is more, but this is already way too much to have to endure. Shame on this disgusting mess, and shame on Expedia for not doing their due diligence on behalf of my non-refundable business.

Terribly maintained property. No phone in room. Insects in room. The level of misrepresentation in the quality of the website photos vs. the actual room is grounds for prosecution

The property looked rundown upon arrival. Immediately upon examining the premises in my car, I checked to see if it was possible to cancel my reservation but that was no longer an option. I made a choice based on price and location and I chose poorly.

The room itself was pleasantly not what I expected based on the exterior but was just short of basic with no headboard, working fridge or even a phone in the room.

I am embarrassed that I took a chance on this location but I had a reasonable night's sleep and promptly left with all my things accounted for.

I booked tru Expedia for two nights because the pictures posted online seems okay but when you get to the area. The outside premises is dirty, trashy and needs repair and gives you a feeling of uneasiness and unsafe place to stay. No refund policy but since I paid almost $10 for the insurance on that booking my credit card wasn’t charge $183 for the two nights that I didn’t use.

I do not appreciate that they copied my credit card info. As in made a copy with my drivers license on the same page with all numbers exp date and ccv code. I asked to take the copy with me but who knows if they had more copies. I immediately turned my card off and will be ordering a replacement after this trip.

My husband barricaded the door because it seemed to have prostitution activity as well as drug activity going on around the property.

We booked it because it was cheap, so if that’s all you care about by all means book it. But if you want safety and cleanliness don’t choose here.

The place was filthy. The floor was so nasty that walking a few steps from the shower to the bed made the bottoms of my feet pitch black with grime. The bed sheets had burn marks and holes. The water heater is in desperate need of maintenance— the water gets hot enough to cause actual burns after running for a few seconds. There was mold above the shower head, in the ceiling. The lamp above rhe sink was not secured properly (I could spin it like a propeller.) The AC worked but was loud and sounded like it was dying. Only food options available are the vending machines. Bugs kept getting into the room. Lamp beside bed had bulb but didn't work. One single power outlet I could get to that wasn't at the sink. Cleaning staff didn't knock and would have barged in on me changing my clothes if it wasn't for the metal door later lock thing.

Don't stay here!!!

I advise anybody to stay far away from this place this place is absolutely disgusting! I never felt unsafe and disgusted in my life, this place is where the drug dealers and prostitutes live and make money. From being woken up in the middle of the night by screaming fighting witnessing a woman with a bloody nose after a fight with a man blood was all up the stairs. The room was disgusting I normally don't walk around barefooted but when I did I picked up my feet and my feet was black as night on the bottom, holes was in the walls , a high stinch of cologne was in the room brown stuff was sliding down the bathroom door and the wash cloths and towel was disgraceful there was stains in everyone and I asked for new ones and there was stains in them as well . This place needs to be torn down i don't understand why it's still in business as much as I seen police coming through there left and right.

Don't stay here. There were cockroaches in my extremely dingy and unclean room, and the staff refused even a partial refund allegedly becayse I didn't complain when I first noticed the problem...at 1AM....during the single night i was there...when I had to be up for checkout at 11 the next day. Unprofessional and childish staff all the way around. Wouldn't be surprised if this place was a front for something far worse with the overall condition and clientele I observed in my thankfully short stay. Don't stay here. Do not. Love yourself enough to spend a tint bit more on a place that isn't literally disgusting.

Also contacted Expedia for a refund and they were unhelpful as well, just telling me to contact the hotel myself. If that worked, would I be complaining to Expedia? No. Also filed a report with the BBB, we'll see how that shakes out.
