    This property is in VERY poor condition. I have many pictures (time coded) of holes in the walls when I checked in, absent refrigerator which was pictured in the original add, very poor cleanliness. The entrance to the lot has 2 very deep pot holes which have had no attention for a very long time. The wifi does not stay connected for more than 5 minutes between drop outs and has no security when connected. I am very surprised that Expedia lists this property on their site.

My daughter had to shower in shoes because the bathroom was so filthy. After complaining to the front desk she responded with “what’s the problem? What do you want me to do?” They refused to move us to a cleaner room so the very next morning we checked out. The customer service is terrible. The last yells and refuses to help with any issues. There was a couple outside our door who got in a fight and i was scared because i don’t know this area and didn’t know if it would turn more violent and i have my 2 kids in the room. The overall experience was terrible. I would never recommend this space and i will never stay here again.

    DON'T STAY HERE. The pictures are NOT accurate. This is the most misleading listing we have ever stayed in. The floors were slimy, as if they hadn't cleaned the mop water in weeks. Not exaggerating your shoes would slide while standing. We booked a king bed and got two full size that my feet hung off of. The furniture is covered in stains, the fridge doesn't work, half the bulbs were out, the floor was tearing up in places, the wall had been damaged several times and fixed and painted over with a totally different color paint, the list goes on and on. There were locals which looked to be living here permanently and ppl coming in and out non stop and watching us to see what room we were going to and when we left. We took our luggage with us everywhere because we didn't feel safe leaving it. Even the man working there seemed to be more buddies with the locals and no management was anywhere so we were uncomfortable complaining even. This property shouldn't even be a hotels.com partner.

    Let me start by saying this property should be rated a one star. While there appears to have been some “upgrade“ like a new stove this sweet style motel for what it’s worth has a lot of negative‘s. I will say the only positive was the price because I had to take my daughter to a college orientation and the other places for much pricier but you get what you pay for. From the start the check-in looked like a Bank service stall with the bullet proof glass and you slide your credit card through… There were shady character smoking outside and the entire motel smellEd. The service clerk while he was cordial had extremely long fingernails for a male and did not look cat it was kind of creepy and my teen daughter was terrified. They don’t offer ice and soda vending machines are outside. For a sweet they had an oven microwave and fridge raider which wasn’t even plugged in so it took an entire day to even get cold. The freezer part didn’t even work. There were no utensils or pots or pans so not sure how they expected you to use any of the equipment. There was not one picture on the wall it looks like a prison cell. Bedding was old and the TV was in the living room portion and you couldn’t even see it from the beds. Everything needs upgrading in here. The only thing it was the stove and the flooring. I was extremely nervous staying here as people were outside smoking and talking and late into the evening. The neighborhood itself is not good as well it was very sketchy.

    When I arrived, the attendant asked if I wanted to see the room, and I am glad I did before committing to the stay. After walking past four or five men who were hanging around outside shirtless, smoking and smelled of alcohol, we arrived at the room. The room STANK of cigarettes and the bed looked like it had been bought second-hand -- the mattress was concave, it sagged horribly. It looked dreadful, but the smell is what really killed it. The room had been smoked in repeatedly -- every room smelled of cigarettes. I beat a hasty retreat and found another place to stay.

    When I pulled onto the property, I was stared down by other "Residential" guest. I immediately felt unsafe. Then checking in, the area was untidy, very small, and out dated. I expressed my concern and was told I would lose my $ if I left. Needless to say, I wasn't walking away from the $. So I continued checking in, once in the room there was an odor and the overall condition of the room was unkept. There was no 2nd safety latch on the door. The positive was, the room size and the flooring. The rating on the internet was inaccurate and very misleading!!

    Not sure if previous review went through but the room was not the way it was stated on your site and was warm to hot most of the time. The reservation was wrong upon check in and had to be somewhat rectified. A normal suite would have utensils and other thing available this did not. The toilet was wobbly and was not fixed during our stay. Even though the air conditioner was on it remained warm to hot the entire time. This is because the part where the bed was located was set back in a separate room. In order to see the tv from bed the whole table had to be moved to the middle of the archway which caused issues with the censor used to change the channel as that cord was too short once the table moved. We did not sleep very well due to the temperature in the room even though the air conditioner was set on 66 degrees. The result of the room definitely was not the way that it was described on your site and we will not stay there again.

    We gave this hotel a try because it is located very near family which we were visiting. It was very convenient, but the hotel was bare minimum. Although it appeared clean enough, it smelled like cigarettes even though it was a non-smoking room. The staff was friendly and helpful; however, a first-floor room was unavailable and there was no elevator - hard on the old folks. Convenience is not enough to return.
