    It’s cheap but you get far less than you pay for. The sheets were pitiful, stained and full of burn holes even tho we were in a non smoking room. The drapes had holes. Tiny TV, few limited channels. Small scratchy towels, ONE opened roll of TP, 2 worn out pillows and they said they had no extras.

    No había papel de baño las lámparas rotas. Pero lo que más nos les gustó era el olor demasiado humedad, las camas sucias penetradas a olor. De humedad rotas y manchadas. Nosotros lo agarramos porque dijimos bueno por una noche. Está bien, pero horrible.

    The first time I stayed here it was the quality i expected from a seedy hotel. Its cheap and ratchet but decent enough. Again, i know what kind of normal clientle come here. So, my BF and I came back on March 8th for one more night knowing it was decent for the price. When we first got a room, the room wasn't clean. It was like goldilocks and the three bears, "someones been sleeping in my bed!" And there were dirty towels hanging on a chair. Plus the down stairs rooms are supposed to be nonsmoking and it reaked of cigarettes. So naturally i asked for another room, the older woman was nice and tried to explain they had a new housekeeper. we got a new room but it was now a smoking room, since apparently all nonsmoking were booked. It wasnt ideal but like i said, you get what you pay for. Later my boyfriend and i wanted to try and take a warm shower/bath but the hot water was barely coming out. Not even enough for a shower. The cold came out at normal pressure but the hot water was like a limp d*** thats been sucked dry. I tried to tell the older man that the hot water wasn't working well and when he came into the room he just noticed we tried to fill the tub and proceeded to yell at us that the tub's not a jacuzzi and to go to a marriot. He was too busy yelling he didnt check the hot water. I was as nice and respectful as possible, he threw a fit. Im not naive and wont tolerate disrespect. Can't get a refund but i can sure as heck give a horrible rating. Rant over.

    The owner was very rude. The wifi in One building was out. When I let them know that I was there on a business trip for the weekend and needed Wi-Fi, I had to pay an upcharged fee to be moved to a double queen bed. When I contested the fee, I was told there would be no refund if I decided to leave. Charge an extra five dollars for a second room key.... that' unheard of. Overall, not a good stay

    Everything was fine until I checked out. When I leave any hotel I make sure all my trash is in bags all the towels are in one place for the most part. Front desk person which is probably also the owner went to check the room came back and then proceeded to shame me because the floor was dirty. Ask me if I live like that and why there was things on every part of the floor mind you this was probably ashes for my cigarettes which they don't provide a ashtray so I was using makeshift ones trying my best I did tip one of them over and there was ashes on the side of my bed I do not carry a vacuum cleaner with me so I could not vacuum up the ashes that's on me but to try to humiliate me in front of other people calling me nasty asking me how do I live like this is absolutely unacceptable . Mind you when I first got into the room you could tell that the carpet had not been vacuumed from grass debris and other things on the floor also there's trash underneath the bed from previous tenants If your housekeeper's clean so well why was I finding trash underneath the bed. Why was I looking underneath the bed because I dropped my phone behind it. Why whenever I went to open the towels there were multiple numerous permanent stains. The room was not trashed The floor was dirty why did you feel necessary to try and humiliate me. If I knew I could upload pictures beforehand I would have definitely taken pictures of all the things mentioned before.

    The staff was nice and they were diligently working on the grounds. The wi-if is very poor, the sink kept stopping up, the toilet wasn’t affixed solidly to the floor, the shower curtain needed replacing, and it was very close to a busy intersection which made it difficult to leave for meals etc.

    It’s was a ok room for a night in and out but there were some younger cats outside from room to room from when I checked in at 930-8 the next morning. The ppl outside were noisy and the room was really noisy plus they have the brightest flood lights ever beaming through the window shade that won’t close all the way. Had ppl walking past my hotel back and forth all night. They don’t allow guests so no prostitution but you’d think they did with the ppl drinking in the parking lot. Would not recommend to a single woman or a family. Strictly a man the can carry imo.

    Most horrible stay ever. The property owner is just plain rude. The hotel room was filthy. The towels were stained. There was no safety lock on the inside of the door. There was a piece of toilet paper shoved in the peephole to cover that up. There was what looked like blood or red paint all over the curtains. There were burn holes in the sheets and the comforter.

    This place charged me a second time for $6.50 and I want my entire money back because this place was filthy and the towels were stained and dirty and then he blamed me for a towel being dirty when all I did was take a shower with it when it was already stained I argued with the owner and he offered the amount in credit for another night.
