It Totally Suck'd

The room was cheesy, the TV stated there was a camera in the room... a very poor remodeling job.. the toilet didn't flush.... the air condition leaked. Strange people hanging outside.

When I first checked in there were shady people in the lobby but obviously they were guests just in the lobby. Not the problem. I got to my room and there was a roach on the desk. It ran behind the desk and I went to the bathroom and there was a bug in the bathtub. The tv was also stuck in Spanish. I went to the front desk and asked for another room and they were very nice and gave me one. You can tell the hotel is older and was remodeled. It wasn’t what I was expecting but the beds were comfortable!! Besides the roach it wasn’t too bad and there is a ihop, Applebees and bar on the same street in walking distance!

Good enough.

Good location off the highway, clean enough, friendly enough. The only problem was the doors and walls were paper thin and I could hear my neighbors and the hallway all night long.

The property needs a serious refresh. There was mold and chipping paint on the shower floor. The furniture in the room was new and the mattress was comfortable, the layout was odd as the bed was pushed up against the room AC. The AC did work well. They did not have a record of our resevsftion, but eventually honored it after I showed proof. It seems that management is trying to improve things but they haven’t quite hit the mark.

Ok but probably won't return

The hotel was pretty nice for the price but you can hear every conversation on the floor due to thin walls, laminate floors and big gaps under the doors. Additionally, we had a squeeky bed and very noisy people right next to us until after midnight. It has a lot of potential but need to tighten up a bit.

I booked a room with 2 Queen beds for 3 person occupancy.The lady tried to give me a room with 1 King bed. I had to literally show her my reservation on my phone..One of the beds had hair on the linen... it was not ours, so that tells me the linen wasn't clean. The bathroom was dirty, dead bugs on the floor, the toilet wasn't clean, the toilet seat needed replacing. I slept in a chair, the other person slept on top of the bed ,& the 3rd person slept on the chaise. Luckily it was for 1 over night stay, we didn’t bother to shower. Absolutely Disgusting! At checkout, she had the netve to ask if we were eating breakfast. No, Thank you.
