    This place was definitely low class! I had made arrangements through Expedia for 2 queen bed room for 2 nights. Upon our arrival there was a very tight parking lot and homeless people on the outside of the hotel. I had went to the front desk to pay for our room and they didn’t have a 2 bed available! Instead they gave us a one bedroom with a couch! Ugh! On the 2nd floor and I’m handicapped! The stairs were very steep and narrow! It was super difficult bringing up our luggage! The floors in the rooms are unstable! The mini fridge did not work! And the rooms didn’t have any trash cans. But I guess you get what you pay for!

    This was a place for hourly use, I know because there were 2 different women dressed for the occasion before I checked in. I left the place,didn't check in and had to find somewhere else and still had to pay for this awful place. I would never recommend this place. Now I know why they don't let you cancel the reservation without being changed or charged. Horrible hotel!

    I had to leave my event 3 hour early due to the staff threatening to cancel my reservation if I didn't check in before 8pm. Keep in mind i was visiting from out of state. All the other hotels I had stayed at say that as long as you check in before midnight is okay. The room was horrifically dirty, they claimed to had clean the room but looked like they hadnt cleaned in days. It smelled like smoke and mold the entire time we stayed. The bed sheets were stained with blood and when I asked the clerk about sending someone to clean they just gave me "new" sheets and told me to change them myself and that they would send someone later (they did not send anyone). The sheets they gave me were worst than the ones with blood on it. The ceramic sink was ripped off the wall and holding on by a piece of plastic. HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO STAY SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!!!

Once in the room, after a few hours, the AC unit leaked water all over the floor, and there was a big water bug crawling the floor. When I called the office, they just offended to change my room. Once the room was changed, the second room was upstairs and had 2 microwaves and 2 refrigerators, and only one of the 2 lamps had bulbs in them. There was limited parking in the lot.

Went to the front desk to request new ones and they looked at me like it's my fault, knowing very well I had just checked in 15min prior. Two days later they replaced them again during "room service and gave me towels in similar condition. At which point they looked at me like a sworn enemy when I was just requesting the most basic of decency. I understand the concept of "you get what you pay for" but there should still be an enforceable bare minimum of service quality.

    Trying to address these issues with the front desk turned into another nightmare. It took a full argument just to get refunded for one night, despite the condition of the room being completely uninhabitable. On top of the filth, the property felt incredibly unsafe. We were chased to our room twice by a homeless individual wandering the property, and ended up sleeping with chairs pushed against the door just to feel a shred of security. Save yourself the stress, health risk, and potential danger. Do not stay here.

    This place was disgusting. First off, everything was stained, the chair, the couch, the pillows, the shower curtain, the towels, everything. I’m talking brown stains on the towels and shower curtain and red stains on the chairs. Secondly, I couldn’t even pickup anything without hair being on it. There was long black hair on the pillows, the sheets, and the bathroom sink and graffiti was written on the mirrors and in the fridge. There’s also a lot of weird activities going on outside too. Drug dealers selling dope out of rooms, tweakers getting high on the steps and digging out of the garbage can, prostitutes going in and out of rooms, and people sleeping in their car in the parking lot. This hotel doesn’t even have enough respect or decency for their guests to put lightbulbs in the lamps or clean the mold out of their fridges. My point being is this, they should be shut done or sold out to someone who cares to have a decent hotel. Overall this place could get someone seriously sick or hurt from the people that they let hang around there.

    BEWARE: this is a low-quality, older motel building with outdated rooms, dirty furniture, missing fire alarm, burnt out electrical socket, and some long-term tenants who caused noise, disruptions, and unease all night long. Room had worn and dirty walls, hole in the bed sheet, and unclean shower. Room to the left seemed like long-term tenants who played loud music late into the night. Room to the right had some fight in the night which led to a police visit. In the morning those people had loud sex against our shared wall. Very low quality hotel definitely not for families. Beware when booking. Listing does not accurately reflect true condition of room or level of quality. Would NOT recommend.

    Our refrigerator wasn’t working though and had some old liquid (probably oil) in it. Bathroom also was a bit dirty with unexplainable stains 9n the curtain and a bit on the wall. Blankets are thin but not an issue as long as you use the heater for cold nights. Overall a "you get what you paid for" thing, but could use a bit of a paint job.

    If I could guve 0 stars, I would. The room was filthy. There were stains all over the walls and all over the towels. The floor was dirty. The smoke detector was missing. The door didnt lock from the inside, but would get atuck you couldnt open it. The lock on the outside was broken, too, and took multiple tries to get in. The bathroom window didnt have a lock and could be slid open feom the outside. We were on the first floor. To sum it up, its a filthy fire hazard with no security. And they don't do refunds. Which I'm sure is because they know everyone would want one. We had to pay for a second hotel because it wasn’t safe to stay here and they were adamant about no refunds. So we are out the money after not even using the room. Do not book this place. You will 100% regret it if you do

Place smell like urine and trash. Unbelievable, why would charged that much for a trash place like that?? That's not fair 😕. This place should get shut down for refurbish, point blank.

    Here is my review of this place: Outside area: 0 of 5 stars, it has a lot of homeless right outside the hotel and it is dirty and unsafe at late hours. Front desk: 1of 5 stars, they were really rude and rushed me, they also wanted my details like home address even thought I had shown my ID. Inside room: 2 of 5, not as bad as it looks outside so as long as you hunker down you should be good. The bed was decent but pillows and blankets were questionable. The bathroom was good and the A/C was good that’s why I gave a 2. Parking lot: 1of5, doesn’t look safe to leave your vehicle parked there for a full night. Luckily I uber there. Honestly, if you are short on cash is better to just stay in a hostel downtown, instead of risking it out here. It feels like a gangsters movie hotel where they are waiting for a package. Is not even that cheap I paid 136 dollars, for something that I value at maybe 75. Expedia do yourself a favor and remove this hotel from your listing. I may look for other platforms to book if you don’t QA your hotels.

    LIKES: - pricing, although not the best I went during a time that all hotel/motel pricing was high - free parking - outdoor security cameras - 24hr front office - near bus/trolley system - fridge and microwave (a surprise) - it was clean, not pristine but clean DISLIKES: - furniture was in poor state but functional - internet was not secure - interior walls had minimal cosmetic damage (scratches,etc) - towels were small in size and few - bathroom soap and shampoo, tiny and rarely replaced (had to get my own) - no ice machine Would I recommend? - if your expectation is you get what you pay for / reasonable and not expecting pampering, probably so. Would not recommend for a family, however. Would I go again? - Maybe, I went because my options were limited and it was available. I may have gotten lucky on the room type. I was also alone and am used to accommodating short times of living roughly.
