They didn’t honor the third party booking and I need a refund. It was also set up as a prostitution ring and I almost got raped. Take this listing off your site- it might save someone less fortunate.

It was a bad experience overall. The hotel is really dirty everywhere. As soon as we got there, we saw people walking around with guns. Inside our room we found cigarette butts. We were two but there was only one towel in the room. The TV had no remote. There were people shouting in the hallways all throughout the night.

There is nothing good that I can say about this hotel. I still can't believe that this is an option on Expedia. I was shocked when I walked into the place. I felt like I was walking into Public Housing (Projects)...the hallways, walls and carpet were dirty and there was no toilet paper, No running water in the bathroom and only one towel. There was garbage and a used sanitary napkin in the tv stand cabinet. Several cars in the parking lot had flat tires. When we decided to leave after finding out there was no running water in the bathroom we had to be buzzed out, there was a bullet hole in the glass door in the lobby. I am glad we made it out of there alive and that Expedia helped me book a room somewhere else.

It's right next to a night club. People from the night club were coming in and of the lounge. Staff was very rude, unconsidered, and disorganized. Different people were knocking on our door within 5 minutes of check in (as if we were being set up to be robbed). So, we checked out and hadn't been in the room 10 minutes and couldn't get a refund. I wouldn't recommend this property to anyone (not even the homeless).

unsanitary

This was probably the worst attempt at a hotel stay I've ever had. I booked mainly because of the great price (bad move). When I arrived, the first thing I smelled was old cigarette smoke in the lobby. The front desk agent was pleasant but she began arguing with the housekeeper about which rooms were clean. Finally they decided on one for me on the first floor. I noticed immediately the people milling about in the lobby. Then I noticed the carpets in the hallways: trash and other litter on them. I entered the room and I saw first that the smoke detector was covered in plastic (this seemed a little dangerous), and there was falling plaster on the ceiling. There was a penny on the chair as well as a fraction of a candy wrapper on the floor. It had not been vacuumed. In the bathroom one of the ceiling panels was falling out, and in the corners I could see the mold on the floor. The headboard of the bed was not connected to the bed and was propped between the bed and the wall. I accepted all of this with the mantra of "you get what you pay for". However, what made me decide to leave and not finish my stay was when I saw the roach in the bathroom. The hotel appears to be used as long-term housing as I saw lots of kids with backpacks; it was about 2:30pm when I checked in. The roaches make me think that it's not sanitarily habitable for children or their parents, or guests.

This hotel is horrible and should be shut down. I stayed here two nights in a king size one bed room. To start off, there’s gunshots in the wall of the room I stayed in. The room needed to be repainted. In the bathroom, the light fixture is attached to the wall with duct tape. They only gave me one set of towels for 2 people and nobody told us that we had to sit our towels outside to get fresh ones, so the second night we had to keep using the same towel we already shared once. Luckily I was there with my girlfriend and we had no problem sharing. We were on the top floor and the window does not close completely. The window didn’t even have a screen over it and it’s a big window. If a kid was there, it would have been very dangerous!

terrible hotel in a bad area. I booked this early in the morning, and arrived around 10PM. this was on a wednesday, they were sold out at 5 PM. This was a common practice for this place because they are always the cheapest hotel. Once you drive up, you realize why they are the cheapest, very scary place.

The WORST Hotel EVER: Hice una reservación semanas antes en este hotel, me cobraron la noche que me iba alojar antes de que hiciera el check in y cuando llegamos la hotel no había habitación disponible, me dijeron en recepción que me iban a dar el reembolso de mi dinero 7 días después y NUNCA lo hicieron. Espere casi un mes, llame y nunca me dieron respuesta. No recomiendo JAMAS este hotel, me robaron mi dinero de un servicio que nunca me prestaron. IRRESPONSABLES!!! I made a reservation weeks before at this hotel, they charged me the night I was going to stay before I checked in and when we arrived the hotel there was no room available, they told me they were going to give me my money back in 7 days and they NEVER did. I waited almost a month, I called and they never gave me an answer. I DO NOT recommend this hotel, my money was stolen from a service that was never provided. IRRESPONSIBLE!!!

They are renovating, so it isnt a pretty place... BUT this was one of the most comfprtable beds ive ever slept in. The sheets were clean. In the end, for $31, thats all anyone needs! The front desk staff was really nice too. We were the minority there and they still treated us with dignity. It's not a hotel for quesy people, as they had issues with the shower and a lot of stuff is just laying around (beds, etc). My husband and I are Vanlife hippies, so we couldnt complain. We were happy it was so inexpensive.
