Once they assigned me a room I asked to get a room away from all the people hanging outside of that room and she told me no, then I go in the room the wash cloth and the hand towel were wet and not even folded neatly. Then in the bathroom I killed 3 roaches and I killed 2 by the bed I was sleeping in.this place is dirty that's why it's so cheap not worth it all all.

Everything smelled like cigarettes. No hair dryer, no iron, no microwave, no conditioner. AC worked well but puddle around the doors and walkways.

Found cigarettes burns on the sheets along with paint spots. The building seems really run down.

It was hard to speak to the staff. I went several times and rang their door bell but no one was available.

I mean for an emergency it was okay. The floor was dirty in the room and as well as the bed sheets they seem like they were reused with out being washed, due to the hair all over the bed. I had to remove the sheets and dust them off. There was also a mini fridge that was so noisy when the compressor would kick on. Also it wouldn’t hurt to wipe the darn tv remote clean, it was like tacky when I grabbed it. I stayed in room 119.

I wanted a simple, safe room in a hotel for one night. When I came there, I felt someway uneasy about the appearance as well as safety of the hotel. The office in front was closed, and I checked at a a window, sort of like a ticket window at a movie therater. When I checked out, I rang a number, was admitted to the office, and spoke with a person online. I assume this procedure reflected concern for office staff. The room itself as adequate and had a large tv which was great to walk the World Cup matches. However I would not return to this hotel.

When we first arrived the check in was completely virtual and we had to wait outside where homeless people were asking the guests for money until they finally allowed us to come inside to check in. The individual checking us in hardly spoke English and terribly difficult to understand. When we got to our room they gave us a room with a single bed even though I paid extra to have one with two beds. The floor was dirty, the fridge was dirty and there was trash from previous guests. All of the bedding was stained and had crumbs in it. The bathroom door did not fully shut and I was traveling with a coworker so sharing a bed and having to use the bathroom with the door not fully closing was awkward. The Tv when on would sometimes shut off on its own and had to be turned back on and off multiple times to start working again. Sometimes when turned back on the volume would not be working either. During all hours of the day the property smelled heavily of marijuana and we just felt very unsafe here.

This was the worst hotel stay I have ever had. Upon arriving the room smelt strongly of bleach. The parking lot was full of sketchy people. The property claims to be smoke free, but guests were standing right outside our AC intake unit and smoking, resulting in the room smelling strongly of smoke. The floors were falling apart, the hot water didn't work for the shower, and the bathroom had multiple cockroaches.

We had booked for two nights, but on our first night at around 1am, the room next to us started blasting music with a bass that shook the room. When we reported it to the office they told us they would send someone. After waiting with no success we proceeded to call back 4 times to complain, and on the fourth call they told us to just call 911 because no one was in the office. We ended up leaving at 2:30 to stay somewhere else and did not stay for our second night. If you cannot control the people staying on your property, you should not be in business.

Told me over the phone they would issue me a refund that night, but then fought me on it the next day when I called to sort it out.

Very gross, incredibly unprofessional, and an absolute hole

Unfortunately, booking this hotel was a bad idea. Not ideal for a family or a woman alone. The area itself was sketchy, lots of movement all hours of the night. Mechanic work going on, arguing and Ambulance arrived early in the morning. The Bathroom had so many things needing maintenance/repair. Holes in the walls, broken toilet, literally. Mini fridge was disgusting and old. Stains on the doors and walls. Blinds broken and just overall needs to be remodeled and repaired. Luckily, staff member understood why we wanted to check out the following day after booking for several nights and helped us with a refund.

The bed sheets were dirty and had large stains on them. In addition, the unit next to mine played loud music from 1:00 AM until 3:00 AM. I contacted the management several times, but no action was taken.

As a result, I was unable to sleep at all during the night. I checked in at 10:00 PM and left at 6:00 AM without getting any sleep. This was a very disappointing experience.

Room 232 is the room I stayed with my kids and we had a scary experience. First of all the place looks super sketchy. The worst part is on the cabinet next to our beds my 8 year old found a fully loaded magazine she grabbed it and was freaking out. I reached out the expedia because I booked with them and they were no help. The hotel has a kiosk that I didnt even feel safe to go. Definitely Not a place for a family to be in.

The registration was conducted via a small screen and not a real person. The room which was described as having an 8.0 rating was not. It smelled and definitely not as shown in the photo. I left the keys on the bed and departed immediately. We did not stay. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. I would appreciate a full refund.

BEST CHEAP MOTEL TO STAY AT!!!

This is my goto cheap motel room in town cause the bathroom is always clean, but also THEY DONT HAVE COCKROACHES !! Which is my number one no no. The beds could definitely be replaced to be more comfortable and the rooms could use a deep cleaning on the floor, but bathroom is always clean in the room and its a great deal, you can stay twice as long instead of expensive hotel. And they have been renovated a little but i dont worry its quiet and the no bug thing is the best.

Every morning we had to ask for clean towels and more toilet paper . Rooms were small and the mattress was horrible. Every morning we both woke up to our backs hurting real bad. For the daily amount we paid there was no coffee maker or cups in the room the only thing that are in the room was a large flat screen TV, a fridge and a old microwave that has a stain around the bottom where the plate sits. No we were not happy with our room and we stayed 7 nights. The office staff was never seen because he stayed in his room probably watching TV. And he was hard to understand. The house keeping staff was nice and hard workers. Will we stay there again? More than likely because that's the only motel in the area we need to be close to our family and friends and maybe just maybe the mattress will be better.

Horrible service from the hotel and from hotels.co

We checked in, found roaches crawling, blood stains on the sheets and there were sketchy people walking around and long term clients living there. We didn’t feel safe. Requested a refund at the front desk, they said we had to go through hotels.com. Called hotels.com, finally spoke to someone who told us it was too late to get a refund because it was now after 4pm. The hotel.com service agent, put me on hold and said he was going to talk to the front desk worker from the hotel, then came back on the phone to say sorry, we can’t refund your 3rooms your not staying in for the night. said they would give me a credit of $70 for my next stay using hotels.com. So I lost over $500.

I went back to the front desk, spoke to Harry who stated hotels.com never called the front desk.

This was a huge nightmare and money down the drain

I wish I would’ve taken more photos, but I just needed to get out of there.

Our Lyft guy picked us up and stated to be careful of bed bugs and the people around the hotel. Very sketchy

The door in the bathroom would not close properly and was dirty. The smoke detector had plastic over it which was an obvious safety hazard. Room was old and seemed like no upkeep was done to keep the paint or room presentable. Also seems like a lot of people rent the rooms weekly or monthly just made it feel like it was worth the price point paid.
