This was extreme false advertisement! The photos of the rooms are not the rooms and they say that they have breakfast they do not at best they have free coffee and that's it. They don't have an ice machine that works they don't have a soda machine that works and there were no amenities. The beds are very comfortable I did not see bed bugs thank God the room was clean when we got there but I think the door's been kicked in 10 times on every door there there's a lot of drama at this Motel and a lot of people living here unfortunately fo

Heater worked well but extremely loud.
Check in person showed somewhat competent but not friendly at all, got the feeling he would rather be somewhere else. The room is in desperate need of remodeling. It looked tired. Stains on ceiling wall and couch, I did not want to sit on that, it was the only sitting area apart from the bed. I did not want to shower, because it meant touching the shower curtain that look well used and stained if it wasn't durty. The bed was clean bedding crisp and white pillows adequate. I am a light sleeper, so did not slept much due to the loud heater, and refrigerator. We left at 4 AM, because there was a fight outside in the parking lot. I admit that was nothing the staff could controll, just surprised they did not hear anything.

Seen rats in parking lot. The worst was the filthy toilet and floors. Immediately on checking into the room we noticed spotted flooring and dusty dirty floors. Walls were splattered with food and filth and were dusty. Also the toilet was dirty with poop splattered around it. We asked to have the toilet cleaned and the floor mopped while we were out but instead they only swept partially and added an air freshener spray. Not acceptable even for a hotel under renovation. We only stayed one of the two nights we had booked. Will not book this one again.

The room was so filthy we quite literally slept in all of our cloths including our sweatshirts. Everything had burn marks in it from cigarettes, drugs, etc. There was old food on the floors. The fact that there was stuff left from previous occupants tells me the rooms don’t actually get cleaned after checkout. The window was open when we got in there and it wouldn’t close all the way and didn’t have a lock on it so anyone could have come in if they wanted to. If it wasn’t 1:30 in the morning and the room wasn’t nonrefundable we definitely wouldn’t have stayed.

Would Not Recommend to anyone I care about

Stayed here after a concert in Detroit in November. Check-in was fine and friendly but then we got to the room.. The deadbolt didn’t lock, though the door did lock automatically, which was confusing but fine. The room was pretty dirty and cold, with broken tiles in the bathroom and chipped paint on the wall. It didn’t even look like the room had been vacuumed or surfaces wiped down, so it was tough to feel clean even after washing your hands. Things like stains on the lampshade, no seal around the bottom of the exterior door, cracked window that also didn’t have a lock, knobs missing on the heater (so we were cold half the night), and dirt under the fitted sheet when we checked for bedbugs, though no bedbugs detected, which was a plus. Overall, if given the decision, I would not stay here again; the uncomfortability outweighs the affordability.

I have had an extremely unsatisfactory experience at this particular hotel. The condition of the sheets was notably poor, exhibiting visible dirt and stains. Furthermore, the surrounding area proved to be unsafe, as it was plagued by constant noise originating from neighboring occupants. The room emitted an overwhelmingly unpleasant odor, and a pervasive presence of mold was observed throughout. In addition, the bed sheets contained noticeable blood stains and were in a generally unclean state. The restroom similarly failed to meet acceptable standards of cleanliness and emitted a highly unpleasant odor. Given these circumstances, I became concerned about the potential health risks associated with my stay. Consequently, I was compelled to seek alternative accommodations at a more suitable hotel. I have photos as a proof of this situation. I kindly request a full refund for my stay at the aforementioned establishment.

The staff may be the only decent thing about our stay, as they were actually very helpful, even though they could not find our reservation at first. The room itself was in horrible condition. There were ROACHES and other unknown bugs crawling around in the bathroom. There was a huge one in the shower, so we obviously refused to take a shower. At one point during the night, one crawled up on the bed. The only reason we still stayed here was because we didn’t want to waste money and it was past the 15 minutes they give you to switch rooms once we noticed. The toilet bowl was even all scratched up. I will never stay here again unless huge changes have been made, including extermination of the roaches and renovating the bathrooms. The property owner should be ashamed of themselves.

Listen to the reviews-do not stay here

I was ‘upgraded’ to a kitchenette room and the kitchenette area was disgusting. Not cleaned, rusted, and extremely old. The bed and pillows were lumpy, the toilet ran, the bathroom light flickered and did not always turn on when the switch was flipped. There was literal cardboard nailed to the wall under the sink, spiderwebs in the shower, the garbage hadn’t been emptied from the last stay, the lamps in the room didn’t work, and the air conditioner didn’t work properly. I booked a premium king sized bed and the ‘upgrade’ got me a smaller bed. I wanted to be able to take a bath and relax but I didn’t feel comfortable taking a bath with how disgusting the room was. I read other reviews and thought ‘it can’t be that bad’…it was. Pay the extra $20 or whatever and stay somewhere else, I know I will next time.

Poor value for money

The best thing about this hotel was the staff, which was courteous. But the condition of the hotel was poor. Hotels in this area are generally expensive, and I wasn't expecting much, but truly for what the room cost I thought it was very poor value compared to the nice place I stayed at for a night near the airport - which was only a few dollars more and much much better in all respects. The room was dated and dirty and smelly, the floor creaked and flexed under me, I found a bug crawling on my while I was on the bed, and I had to mess with the door multiple times to open it every time I tried to get in. The location was convenient for me, but ultimately it would have been better to spend a little bit more for a better place. No breakfast due to the pandemic, which was understandable but made the value even worse.
