Gentlemen at front desk was super nice and did address all issues we had. As far as staff goes they were wonderful 1st room had blood stains on sheets and mattress protector. Comfort had burn holes all through it with the sheet having some as well. 1st room was a smoking room and it had a horrible smoke smell. Got changed to a different room and this time non smoking room smelled clean but the sheet and comforter still had burn holes. The dresser and stands felt sticky. Mattress was very thin could feel bars under it. Pillows were super thin only had 3 pillows total and didn't sleep well at all. We booked another 4 days at a different hotel. The gentleman at the front desk was super nice and we don't blame him for this experience and he was quick to give us a different room and went to the room we had 1st and said he would take care of that.

The area was unsafe with people standing outside their rooms talking, and smoking right in front of our door. The room was filthy with what looked like fieces on the wall. The bed spread was dirty with burn holes in it (non smoking room). I could not stay in that place let alone my wife staying.

It was horrible. People were loitering around outside. Roaches were in the ned and bathroom. I did not stay cause I felt unsafe and the room had roaches in it. So I lost money

It was par . Not good but ok

It was terrible. I'm surprised Hotels.com would represent such a filthy and dangerous place. My friend and I each got a room. The front of the hotel seemed to be clean but they put use in the back. It was full of scary people partying on the balcony and using drugs. You could smell it immediately. The room was filthy. Old nasty furniture, bugs in the fridge, water on the floor in the bathroom, broken microwave and the list go on. We waited about 45 minutes when we decided to leave. When we asked for our money back they said since we didn't come back within 15 minutes we couldn't get a refund and we paid for 2 nights.

This is the most horrible place on earth. DO NOT STAY THERE. It is a drug haven!! This place DOES NOT look like the pictures. There were people outside doing drugs and drug deals. Trash everywhere, it looked like a motel for homeless drug addicts. The place had bugs, not cleaned, A/C unit falling off the wall. I went to the office to request a refund as I was not going to stay there, I was in fear of my life. I was denied. I am now trying to get a refund from Hotel.com.

For the price the room was decent. It was outdated but not terrible. The bed is smaller than most hotels. Its just a double bed and it smelled like cigarette smoke even though the door said no smoking. But if you are in a jam and need a cheap safe spot to sleep I would recommend

Do not recommend staying here. Seems to be primarily used as half-way house. We used it only because gosplitty left us stranded as last minute and nothing resonable was left. Our expectations were low but reality was lower. Dirty room and facility.

Motel was in very poor condition. Rusted handrails, crumbling concrete, paint peeling and broken fixtures in the room. There were abandoned cars with no license plates in the driveway. I left and didn't stay.

First hint was that the Uber driver didn't want to drop me off. Tried it anyway. Was watched as I went to my room. Door lock was broken, big big window with barely a curtain was the least thing that made me feel unsafe. Food pieces in fridge, dirty looking sheets, toilet and shower. tires and trash in parking lot, located at the dead end of a street with nothing close, def nothing to walk to, and Uber wont pick up after dark, left ASAP, checked out within 20 mins and no refund for 3 night stay, really??? I am normally NEVER placing reviews but this? I even held off incase I could state they at least gave me a f*ing penny back for not staying there at all (3 nights). Buyer beware.

Friendly staff. Nasty disgusting unsanitary place. I cannot lie, it's gross!! Sticky dirty floors....nasty bedding. Nasty chair. Nasty walls...gross!!! Really?! I cannot believe that I actually stayed there. It was late at night and I could not find anything else and I was tired and just ready to settle down and I paid $77.00 for this hotel. Disgusting.

Upon leaving, I stripped the beds and left a note requesting they CHANGE THE SHEETS between guests!! I did not sleep on the sheets, I slept on top of the blanket on top of the sheets due to what looked like "body fluids" on them!! Also -- this does not appear to be the "safest" of locations due to what appears to be long term clients that can be seen hanging over the rails smoking with their potted plants on the rails.

The only term that can be used to describe this property is "Crack House". Filthy, broke down room, pile of trash right on the corner by room entrance door. Front desk employee sleeping between two chairs and got upset when I woke her up. Definitely AVOID this hotel at all cost better sleep in your vehicle.

Very very cheap but the room was not clean, and the staff were not friendly (admittedly I checked in at 1230 at night) otherwise the location was a bit deceptive and I had to do a U turn to get there through a lane of traffic, it did have a convenient location as it was next to the highway.

This was probably one of the WORST places I have ever stayed in!! The receptionist didn’t acknowledge me until I banged on the window and then never got out of the chair. It took 20-25 minutes to check in and I felt as though I was annoying her! The room was FILTHY!

The front desk manager was very professional and friendly when I arrived, and the room was organized and clean as possible. The last day I was there my neighbor and a group of young men began trouble! Loud music blared from his open door and when asked to lower the noise he became enraged! This lasted for a couple of hours. Then around 1pm I was awakened by the same group because they began fighting each other as if they were attempting a prison break!!! I will NEVER visit this establishment again!

This was hands down, the worst hotel experience I have ever had. 1st they gave me a room with 1 bed when I had reserved two beds. They moved us and we dropped our bags off and went to eat. Upon our return, we noticed the beds had bugs and the room was very dirty. When I reported it to the manager, he refused to come look at the room. We left and stayed in a Sleep Inn about 1/2 mile away.

Everywhere people were hanging outside, sitting, drinking and cars with large wheels coming in and out. I was SHOCKED. I've stayed at hotels all over the country. The room was real nice though. I can give them that.

First off, there was a putrid smell upon entering. The curtain rod to cover the window was broken and curtain barely covered the window! Pillow case was dirty. I found two dead roaches! I was afraid to sleep on the sheets! It was the most uncomfortable night!! It is seriously time for renovations! I was livid. No matter how cheap, you are catering to the public and every stay should be decent! I pray under any circumstance, I NEVER have to stay there again!!!!

The lady at the front desk was very nice, but everything went downhill from there. I took a scenic tour of a bad neighborhood to get there. The hotel was made up of 3 or 4 two story buildings on a parking lot in terrible need of repair. I'm pretty sure that there were people dealing drugs and others who lived there. I was so exhausted that I just wanted to lie down and sleep for a few hours, but when I opened the door to the room I didn't take more than two steps inside before I knew I wouldn't be staying here. The bed was made up, but it had an ancient comforter on it and I didn't even want to think about what was on it. The room wreaked of smoke and marijuana. I had asked for a non-smoking room. I decided that I was just not comfortable staying here and feared for my safety. I gave the key back to the nice lady and the desk and explained why I wasn't staying. She said that she understood. Now I am out the room fee and the time I wasted. Save yourself the trip and don't go here!
