Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room was dirty, I did not want to take my shoes off. The lobby was extremely hot and person at desk spoke limited English. There is no airport shuttle as advertised. The area was sketchy with working women out and about. Awkward full sized fridge in room. The Breakfast that was offered, was dry cereal and water.

Attendant asked for a fifty dollar cash deposit... not cc... he was upset when I asked for a receipt for the cash, so he hand wrote it on my receipt from expedia... the door to the room had a lock above the handle because the handle lock did not work. The room was not swept. There was gaps in the door. And the bathroom tile floor was cracked and broken walls needed to be painted quickly... breakfast was a box of cereal you had to ask for a bowl and milk and coffee was cold... honestly seemed like a pay by hour hotel.. I have never stayed in one like this ever... i would have never taken my children to a place like this.. ferrell cat herd roaming the area living under stairs.. non smoking room definitely smoked in... people fighting in parking lot. Felt nervous all night did not sleep...

One of the worst properties I’ve ever stayed at honestly … service is bad … breakfast is bad … room was bad … the room I stayed at (103) had plugs hanging out the walls , cabinets were broken … doors were Al colored on with random paint and there was a fruit fly infestation I told the guy who was in the front desk if I could change rooms and he denied and was also so unprofessional and kept saying the rooms didn’t have bugs even though I showed him…

Not at all as described on the website. Nothing at all remotely like it. Plug sockets hanging out of walls. Holes In the wall in the bathroom, The door, looks like it has been colored in or not painted correctly. Smoke detector hanging out of the ceiling. Dirt all over the floor. Fan in bathroom falling out of wall. NO DRAIN COVER IN THE SHOWER. It’s an electrical hazard and just disgusting
