The room I was provided looked nothing like the one in the photo. The carpet was dirty, there were roaches present, the room did not have a table similar to the one in the photo, the bathroom did not even have a roll of toilet paper. When I asked for extra towels, we were told none were available. Like the old saying goes, 'you get what you pay for'.

Worst place I have ever stayed

This place is a known to be a drug user area. This hotel was the worst I had ever seen in my life. I left immediately and kept my dog in my car while I worked a 12 hour shift as a nurse. This place is unsanitary and dangerous. Only drug addicts live here and looked at me like I wasn’t supposed to be there

Filthy, cockroaches, falling apart, no towels, no drinking glasses drug and prostitution going on all night. Couldn’t sleep, left there at three am. Nothing like the picture. Only reason I stayed was because I had been driving all day and was exhausted. Had no idea where I was at and where to go and was now afraid to leave the room. Thankfully there was a lull in activity and that’s when quickly left.

Drug den

Room wasn’t available when I arrived. Front desk manager was very polite and polite but asked if I could wait while the room was cleaned. Lots of people in the parking lot being very loud. When I got to my room with the dog I was transporting I brought her and my bags into the room. I always check for bed bus no matter the hotel and didn’t find anything and the bed had a zipper cover to protect it. I did find roaches, mold and burn spots in the room. I just wanted to get sleep and I decided to stay. The noise level outside sounded like the people were inside the room. After taking meds to sleep I pulled out the covers from them tucked under the bed and a needle popped out onto the floor. I contemplated leaving but had taken meds that made it unsafe to drive. I should have risked it because the noise was never ending and when I did get to sleep I was woken up by new noises from outside including someone vomiting. With the noise and nightmares about the roaches I didn’t sleep much and left at 5 am to sleep at a rest stop so my mind could actually rest

Not a good experience

The room we received smelled very bad, had stains on both mattresses, on the pillows and bedding as well. The bathroom had mold in the shower and had a smell as well. We ended up not staying in the hotel at all, and sleeping in the car. The beds were dirty, the floors had bugs/roaches, and the bathroom had mold and mildew. People we’re hanging out outside their rooms playing music, and there a number that lived there. The attendant was kind I have to say, but that was the only positive part.I stay in a lot of budget hotels/motels and I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Not a happy camper!

Well do you really want to know and will this email be seen by anyone?
So I arrive at the hotel around 5:15pm and the manager does not greet me because she has a problem; I have a reservation but doesn’t have a clean room ready - blames it on help being slow.
However she assigns me room 108 which looked at first but things went downhill pretty quickly.
There is only one light in the room, no lamps - had to read with by bathroom vanity.
Go to take a shower, no towels.
Also noticed no TP
Go to use microwave, dirty with 2 ants crawling around.
No flies in room.
Bring my bedding sleep on top of bed, use my towel use my Kleenex.
Noisy neighbors / nice people but hotel cannot be both - a SRO and a business/tourist establishment. The manager seems to be doing the best she can. The age and location and neighborhood is not helpful.
So to top it off I wake up at 3:00am because there is noise outside - there is a guy and girl just walking back and forth. She is tall wearing a robe and he was smoking and wide awake. So I have packed my stuff walk out to my car and she said she needed to use my phone, I said no. He very politely asks if I could spare a dollar, I said yes, he then saw that I was carrying 2 water bottles, asked if I had others, I said yes, then he asked for another dollar, I said no.
This is not what I thought I was getting into when I booked the trip.
I thought it was rather ironic was that I received an email offering to extend my stay / no way would I ever stay there ag

Bring Cleaning Supplies and Your Own Sheets

NO NO NO NO NO. Do not stay here because:

-there were cigarette ashes in the sink hair and stains on the sheets which made me believe that the sheets had not been changed;

-there was mold on the shower curtain- like a lot of mold not just a little bit of mold

-the rug was filthy and there was trash under the bed

-there were no towels or rags in the room

-there were screaming matches every night in the parking lot

-there are holes and stains on the walls

-the wifi sucked

-the front desk people both seemed a little off- they would only stare at me when I came to the window. I partly understand because I wouldn't want to work there either.

The pros:
My door locked, the outlets worked, the lights worked, the toilet worked, the water got hot in the shower, and the HVAC unit worked.

You really don't get what you pay for when you stay at this hotel because the rooms are filthy and I am always under the impression that the hotel room is at least clean with everything working.

The pictures on this site are misleading.

SHANNAN CLARE

When I showed up for my stay there the manager came out, got my information, and asked if I wanted to see the room first. So another employee brought me to see the room. I thought that was odd as no other hotel has ever asked me that before checking me in. Anyways, we go into a first floor room with what appeared to be dirty sheets, a very unkept room with stains on the walls and the employee showing me the room said oh no this room isn’t ready, the toilet is leaking and we’ll need to call a repair on that. At that moment another employee comes in, a female, who said this isn’t the room for her. The two started talking about the toilet needing to be fixed and that they’ll go back to the office and find me a room that’s available. The man asked me to wait while he goes search the rooms. There was a man on the balcony of another room staring at me extremely scary and then a woman walking around the parking lot and street out front talking to herself and looking, well, high. I went to sit in my car to wait for them to “find me a room” and started looking for someplace else to stay. After several minutes of waiting no one came to tell me I had a room so I just left. A couple days later I got a charge for a no show fee of $90. I quickly responded with I wasn’t a no show but that they weren’t prepared to have a decent guest staying at their unkept very unprofessional and dirty hotel. I will never refer anyone to stay there. Clearly they only stay in business by charging for no show

The place was full of bugs. The bedding had stains on them. The towels in the restroom just outright dirty. I can’t believe they would allow anyone to stay in this hotel with the type of condition that this place was in. I checked in and when I got to the room and seen how dirty and disgusting it was I immediately check out and went somewhere else. I didn’t even bother asking for my money back, not that they would have refunded me any ways. This hotel needs to undergo a full makeover and then some. If this is all someone can afford I just recommend buying a tent from Walmart and sleeping outside.

Upon arrival I noticed that the outside condition did not match the picture on the site. It was very run down. The upon going into the office to check in I was told that they did not have a handicap accessible room as I booked due to someone trashing it the night before and no one was there to fix the room. I went to look at room and it was dingy and smelled musty and stale. I immediately went to check out explaining that we were not going to be able to stay. They cancelled my room and then I got charged for a late cancellation fee. We shall see 😊 f it gets returned. I would not book this hotel again.

ATTENTION, STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE

ATTENTION PEOPLE!!! DON'T USE THAT PLACE IF YOU JUST WANT TO BE SAFE. I was traveling for my bussines with 2 other guys and we booked the hotel to stay one night. I booked 2 rooms. 1 room queens bed and other room 2 queen beds. We arrived around 10pm after driving for 8hr. We couldn't belive the eyes. Cracks everywhere, people sell-buy drugs around the hotel, do drugs everywhere. Nasty place, prostitutes that fighting with each other. Yelling on people. That area is dangerous and the front desk lady was very disrespectful. First i came, i asked her for the rooms that we booked. She told me that is only one room no 2. After that she told me are 2 rooms for only 2 people. Anyway, we left, we just lost 80$ because they didn't refund money back. We traveled 30 more miles and finally founded another clean and safe place. Stay away of thet place and that area. Please don't stop. Even if you'll book i'm sure you will not like it. Just don't wast your money and your time.

This is the absolute worse hotel I have EVER stayed in. I came from out of town and not only was I not aware that this was DEEP in the hood. Prostitution, drugs, bad room, and an even worse bathroom. Our bathroom had nothing but mold all over the the shower/tub area and on the ceiling. We had to shower at a family member’s house because it was just so infested. All night, we heard yelling and screaming. The room had no microwave, trash can nor an ice machine but gave us cups... I strongly believe that jail is a better stay than being there!

After waiting 20 minutes to check in outside because nobody came to the window, it took another 20 minutes for the associate to check me in. At this point, I was thinking of leaving and I should have trusted my gut. At least the linens were clean... the issues: Floor hadn't been mopped, the toilet ran constantly unless you reached in the tank to fix it everytime, broken desk, tv remote didn't work and you couldn't turn on the TV otherwise, no handsoap available, bathtub looked gross and soap scummy and the heater sounded like a train when running. The topper was the cranked out female tenant who went around banging on doors at 4 am screaming and body slamming the door to get let in. I was not worried for myself because I was traveling with my dogs who barked and sent her on her way but heard her proceed to two other doors and do the same thing. I've stayed at far cheaper roadside motels before (TravelLodge Motel6) and paid far less for a much nicer, cleaner and peaceful stay.
