Absolutely disgusting of a place. The grounds are dirty and they stink. Someone’s dog even took a crap in the hallway on a door mat. We booked 2 rooms. One smelt like complete cat pee and the other I requested to be moved because of the condition the room was in. The second room they put me in wasn’t much better. There was mold, floors were filthy, trash under the beds and night stand, desk looked like it had been chewed on by dogs, not a single blanket was let in the one. Only 1 flat sheet per bed. My parent’s room had roaches crawling all over. The place looks full of long time junkie residents. At night there was no sleeping. Yelling, screaming, wall banging, kids running up and down the hall. I’ve never been to a hotel (and I managed several for 15 years) and was told at 2:39pm we weren’t allowed to check in until 3 even though our rooms were ready. Simply put, had I been able to get a refund I would have went somewhere else. I would give this place a 0 star and I strongly suggest that unless you are a trashy junkie and don’t mind smelling trash all day long, don’t stay here for any reason.

The hotel looks nothing like the photos in person, the room had a smell between cigarettes and marijuana. The room was not cleaned before I arrived, there were stains on the shower floor that were black possibly mold. I’ve never stayed in such a room in my life before and I will definitely not be returning to this place. The price is not worth it trust me

This was the worst place I’ve ever stayed. Room 220 stinks; I don't think it was cleaned—it has a terrible odor. The air conditioner doesn't work properly and the control panel is broken; the fridge is falling apart, and there is no coffee maker or microwave. The outdoor area isn't well-maintained either; there are many cats around, making the place smell awful. Definitely... I didn't sleep well and had two horrible days.

The towels were rags, no trash can in the room, had to sign that we would be quiet at 10pm but there were screaming kids and others making loud noises until 3am. The A/C wasn’t working much and the room has so hot it took us forever to fall asleep. The night lady was polite but had no solutions because the “security “ she said she would get up there either didn’t show or made matters worse since the loud noises went on for hours later. Also the phone had no dial tone to reach the front desk so had to walk all the way around in PJs to complain to her. The shower floor was so bad we took showers in our flip flops.

I’ll start off with saying the staff was absolutely amazing! So friendly and welcoming. The downside was the pictures shown when renting definitely don’t match. The property is definitely in need of an upgrade as the room I was in looked like it could have been involved in a crime of some sort. Holes in the walls, couldn’t shut bathroom door, also had a hole in it. The walls were dirty. The bed was comfortable. The pool looked ummm sketchy so I didn’t use it. I mean give it a make over and it could be at least a 4 star. It’s in a convenient area so there’s that . And get rid of the weed smell it was definitely over powering in some spots.

I knew the area of which the hotel was in so some of their rules they had I can understand. The staff was friendly and helpful especially when there was no remote in the room for the TV. They was able to find one and bring to my room.

The room was not like it showed in the pictures. I requested a non-smoking room with a refrigerator. There was no refrigerator and an ash tray in the room.

Nightstand and TV stand didn’t look good, the shower was almost big enough for an average adult to fit in. Had to clean up water on the floor around the shower when through. The door to the room was way off and could see light between the door and frame all the way around it. It also let bugs in. The A/C system was on its last leg it sounded like, but it did cool the room well.

Would I recommend this place? No, not even to my worse enemy.

I’m not one to complain. But Let me just start by saying, I have never stayed in a nasty hotel but this one was definitely a first for me. It was nothing like the pictures, at all!!! The property looked not taken care of, it had a bad smell outside of the hotel and in the room I was given, the AC was not even working right, it was rusted and had stains on the unit, I was sweating in the hotel the whole time I stayed there. I complained to the clerk on duty and she was not even no help, like she didn’t even care. Not to mention there were more than a handful of cockroaches crawling around the room which I was already mad and the shower wasn’t even cleaned properly there was other peoples hair stuck in the shower. So nasty! I couldn’t even believe it. The walls had stains on it, yellow splattered stains. Also I couldn’t get over the smokers smell in the room, gave me a headache, I’m sorry but that hotel should be reported for investigation. It was not worth the money I paid to stay there. I wish I could get my money back. The worst experience!

The room had a dead roach crushed on the wall, sticky floors, and random gobs of goop with hair in it sort of in random places along the walls and on the headboard when I entered. The shower was badly degraded - there was a hole worn all the way around where the shower head was supposed to join with the wall, so it was just hanging loose. There was a roach infestation and it was BAD, I saw my first roach while I was checking in and they were out and about even with all the lights on. No toilet paper or cups were provided without me asking, and I bought my own body wash and cleaning wipes because those weren’t provided either. There was a random pair of socks in the bathroom, but the towels were folded like housekeeping had been through. It smelled bad, all the time, and the smell was unidentifiable but gross. There is a Waffle House in the parking lot but they don’t offer a dine in service; all the main food options are fast food across a multi-lane highway. Closest intersection is far enough down the way I couldn’t see if it had a crosswalk, and in the heat I didn’t make it that far. The only bright spot was that every employee who interacted with me was kind, positive, and respectful, to my face, but they’d made derogatory comments about other guests to me as they left.

BUGS! NO TOILET PAPER! SMELLS HORRIFIC!

This place shouldn't even be on Expedia. The only sign to let you know it exists is a banner hanging on a balcony. When you check in you have to speak through a window right beside the world's loudest ice machines so you can't hear the clerk. They make you sign paperwork saying you will abide by the curfew and not loiter. I asked the guy if it was safe to stay there and he said, \"Well, it is now. It didn't used to be.\" Meanwhile, there are people loitering everywhere!

There was no toilet paper in my room. There are only sheets on the bed, no blankets. The whole place smells like smoke and weed. The TV was already on when I got in the room as if someone had just been watching Indiana Jones. Lots of holes in the bathroom door and walls peeling.

Bugs were everywhere!!! I killed probably 15 creepy crawlers and when I left 4 skittered into the room. Numerous crawled on the bed.

The shower sprayed water everywhere. I didn't want to use it, but I smelled like the room, which smelled like smoke. Had to kill a spider who was guarding the shower.

When I checked out I told them they needed to spray for bugs and the woman rolled her eyes as if I had offended her.

Zero stars. Would not recommend. Just sleep in your car.

Pictures of the property must be 10 years old from when it was a motel6. Contrary to the listing there was no mini-fridge, microwave or even an ice bucket. The microwave was shared one in the “lobby”. An ice “bucket” was crumpled up and crammed through the security glass slot when requested as it closely resembled an empty cool whip container. Staff was ok if you like trying to hear people through a mini speaker with vending and ice machines right behind you. After this booking my wife no longer allows me to choose hotels.

The room was disgusting! I went down and told them we had no towels or toilet paper in our room & asked to switch rooms because we couldn't adjust our unit from cool to heat or the temperature. She sent maintenance up to fix the heat WHEN WE WENT TO GET DINNER.
We showered with our flip flops on because of the filthy shower pan. The sink had hairs and boogers in it. We slept in our car because roaches were everywhere when we turned the light on (i took pictures) and the bed sheets had blood specs, like bedbugs do. The walls and door were just filthy!
On top of that, they say at check in there is a noise ordinance after 10pm, and base was thumping at 12am and yelling half threw the night in the parking lot. Not aplace for a nice couple or even kids. There was a woman working a room. Every other hr or so she would change clothes and redo her makeup and a different guy was in and out her room, even the next morning.
If the staff paid better attention to the surroundings and did something about it, and the house keepers cared more about cleaning, it wouldnt be bad at all...especially for the price.

Getting into the parking lot is a real problem. The roads have been changed, new medians put in, so a left turn from Ashley Phosphate Road is not possible. The other entry from Mazyck Road has a fence across it.
Google Maps didn't know about any of this.

Parking lot was adequate if a bit rough.

Condition of the room was below average. The floor in the bathroom was peeling up, looked like water damage over a long time. Furniture and fixtures had broken parts and missing shelves.

The door had clearly been forced open. There were four different places where a \"burglar latch\" had been ripped off of the wall, one of them had been snapped off and was not removed before a new latch was installed. The bottom of the door had a gap where something must have been forced through.

This hotel is near a train track, an airport, and on a busy road, so noise levels can't be helped.

Staff were above average, very helpful when my key card stopped working.

The only positive thing I can say about this hotel was the amazing women at the front desk during our check in. She was so accommodating and pleasant to deal with. Other than that stay away from this place. Our AC unit didn't work, both sets of sheets had cigarettes holes burned in them, room was run down and unkept. Towels were yellow, mattresses were stained and disgusting, shower floor was gross, strung out gentlemen sitting on the walkway in front of the hotel. Watched drug deals going down in the parking lot. We went back to the front desk to let the women know of the issues in the room and she immediately started calling people on the radio to get the AC looked at and the sheets changed. We thanked her but told her we were not staying there and had to find another hotel. Even though we paid with a non refundable she was so sweet and offered to refund 1 of the 2 nights. Again other then that sweet women at the front desk this hotel is a stay clear of. I found it so sweet that she offered the 1 night refund but also feel that the owner/management of this hotel should refund me the other night since we didn't even stay and had to find another hotel to stay in.

Again, this was midnight, there were rooms with the door open, blasting rap music, and toddlers running around while adults were drinking as smoking, yes I was scared by the stare downs I received. Get to the room and the smell of cigarette smoke in the room was horrendous and making us nauseous. I didn’t stay and opted to leave, but as I was leaving 2 cop cars were in front of the property with their lights on.

Roach central. Had to be moved after seeing at least ten roaches in this first room, on the walls, on the BED… the house keeping lady was so rude. There was a miscommunication between the front desk and her (not her fault, not even mad about that bit, it happens) about us checking out late but she was furious we’d be given a late checkout and when we told her that after she let herself into our room, she started cussing and slammed our door so hard walking out. We did speak with the manager when we left and he was extremely apologetic, he’s just taken over the hotel because of the known issues there. It seems like they’re trying to fix it but I won’t stay again. Worst experience in a hotel if my life and I genuinely wish the new GM the best of luck turning this place around. He’s got a hard job ahead of him and seems like he really cares. He was the only good thing about the stay.
