    Our AC was not working whatsoever. The fridge was not cold but apparently we as guests had to plug it in and turn it on ourselves. We called to ask to switch rooms because it was hot and uncomfortable due to the AC and the lady on site told us it should be working and came to check on it. Tried saying it was on the wrong settings and that it would work soon. Never did. Ironically we got comfort from opening a window. Absolutely overpriced and run down. Half of the amenities that are advertised, do not even work!

    Extremely outdated. Charges transaction fee for the deposit and to refund the deposit. Have to give clerk PIN number because apparently card machine doesn’t reach the desk no option for apple/phone payments. Rooms unsanitary from the bathrooms to the remote controller. Sleep in your car and save the money if no other hotels are available. Don’t waste your time or money on this hotel

    The place was dusty. It seemed like it hadn’t been clean for a couple weeks. The location itself felt unsafe. The images provided seemed to be a better, safer, cleaner place but in reality wasn’t the case. Had to leave after the first night bright in early.

    Was looking for a last minute stay before ridiculous rates on memorial day. Hotel manager has been working there for 27 years, the room looked somewhat appealing online. When arriving you could see that this place should’ve been a junkyard.

    This place was disgusting you walk into gnats flying in your face the bathroom window was boarded up, the towels were totally used the refrigerator was unplugged but before I can't even open it to plug it in it had a weird smell coming from it so I just didn't there were no smoke detectors or carbon monoxide detectors in the room. The AC had might as well not even existed there were people smoking dope out in the open this place just needs to be shut down

    A bit rundown, when I asked about the wifi was told it has been out for 2 months. The no visitors policy is ridiculous, my friend came to see me the clerk chased her down and was telling me from the ground floor no visitors, I won't be staying here again.

    First time in the area with a new unit. Had no idea where to stay so I checked online and this place had the best of the worst reviews, so I gave it a try. Definitely not worth the money. And a $10.00 cleaning fee on top. Thank God I’m use to cool showers. Would only stay there again if I had no choice.

    Older property. Looks like they are trying to slowly keep it up. Pillows had a smell on them like people smell. Bedding was clean otherwise. Toilet would continue to fill when flushed until you took lid off and fixed the flapper & float stuck together.

    From what we saw in the parking lot, the old, unmoved vehicles and stacks of junk in parking stalls didn't leave a good impression. One man was awoken by us ringing the service bell and was looking at us through the window, so I imagine the walls are pretty thin. Honestly, with the trouble trying to stay here, the terrible service, and the conditions of just the parking lot and what we saw, the lower price of this place just isn't worth the headache for the price difference of their nearest and more reputable competitor.

    tossed and turned the bed squeaked like crazy. The walls were very thin. I could hear the neighbors laugh all night. There's like four broken down rides in the parking lot. I was kind of upset when the desk guy said we aren't allowed to have visitors, if we did I would be charged for it. So my relatives could visit me. So I kept my guard up in case they wanted to charge me for something I didn't do. I took pictures and a video of the place when I arrived. It was in a creepy neighborhood. I wasn't satisfied while I stayed here.

    The room was dirty,hair in the tub, on the shower wall,hair on the floor. The towels were small like hand drying towels and they were also very dingy. The water temperature was luke warm, and this place doesn't even have an ice machine on the property. There is however a mini fridge in the room. I made sure that it was plugged in and put a couple of sodas into the fridge. I went to work and did some light shopping after work. That is at least 10 or 12 hours before I arrived back,and the sodas were still warm.

    My friend and her two kids that was in desperate need of a hotel room and they were not allowed to stay in the room due to her not having any type of credit card. I’m in a different state and paid for the hotel room for them. But because she didn’t have a credit card in hand they refused to let her stay. This place has not heart!!
