The room was generally clean and the bed was fine. The room was pretty run down otherwise with the door scraping the floor, shower head hanging down, no bulbs in two of the light fixtures, etc. It was much cheaper than other hotels in the area but needs some attention.

The pictures of the hotel on the website are NOT truthful. The surrounding area is not a nice area. They have roaches. I asked for bug spray and they gave me bed bug spray. So they have bed bugs as well. 5 ft away from the front desk is a bench the starts out wide then narrows. There's a stand that has 3 cereal dispenser and across from the table is a toaster. That's where you get your so called breakfast. Just gross! You have to see it. The carpet in the room is dark green and stained. There's no way that carpet should be still on the floor. There was a lamp with no light bulbs. The closet was two long thin shelves covered by a window curtain. Before I pulled back the curtain I thought it was a window, NOT! I was sitting at the end of the bed talking on my phone when a roach crawled up the wall. I went downstairs to let the staff know but they weren't surprised. I asked for two large plastic bags to put my suitcase and belongings in. I was giving the hotel the benefit of the doubt that just maybe the roach was brought in by a guest. I got the bags and asked for bug spray. They gave me bedbug spray as previously stated. I went back to my room wrapped my stuff and sprayed. I didn't see any bed bugs but that doesn't mean they weren't there. After I wrapped everything I wanted to take a shower. I went in the bathroom and turned on the shower. As soon as I stepped away from the glass there was another roach. I said that's it and proceeded to find another hotel and checked out!

DO NOT STAY HERE. DIRTIEST HOTEL I HAVE EVER STAYED IN. No top sheets on bed. When I asked for sheets at the front desk, they pulled them from a plastic bag on a chair and the ones they gave us were stained and had human hair on them. The carpet was layer upon layer of dirt and stains. There were bugs on the sheets, the shower, and a small roach crawled under the door to the room. The smell in the room was terrible and made me cough - if the air conditioner filters had been tested I'm sure they're full of mold. We decided to leave immediately and when we requested a refund, the person at the front desk handed me a document with my name and address on what appeared to be a refund statement but that the "refund" amount was bogus - the amount was wrong and the card ending number was not a current or past card of mine. This could be considered fraudulent behavior.

Upon checking in the elevator and hallway smelled like weed. Then we open the door to our room, there was a cockroach in plain sight and another on the door. People a few doors down were checking out for the same exact reason. Filthy! If I could give it zero stars I would. Please don’t waste your time like we did. We had driven four hours, a family member wasn’t feeling well, it was 10:30 at night snd we were exhausted, having to load the car back up and find another hotel at that hour was exhausting, but worth it in the long run. I called Expedia the next day, they were super helpful, bc the front desk said we never checked out. I put my keys on the counter in front of the guy at the front desk, and said we are not staying here, he saw us leave with all our bags. They tried saying we couldn’t get a refund bc we “never checked out” crooks. They did refund us, thanks to Expedia. I am glad I booked through Expedia bc I don’t think we would have gotten a refund otherwise.

Hotel from Hell

The hotel smelled like cigarettes and it had rusty and mold. We only had 1 pillow each 1 washcloth and towel each and the mattress moved when you went to sit on it. The mattress was also hard to sleep on to get to our room it was very confusing because we came up on an elevator but the signs pointed in different directions and we had to go through a door. The halls were stank and so was the elevator. The sheets had burn marks and the top sheet was on the outside of the blanket. I would never book here again. Glad I didn’t book for 2 nights because the sleep seem to be nonexistent.

Not Exceptional, But Not Bad At All! Good & Cheap

After reading some negative reviews, I was skeptical of my upcoming stay, but I found that our room was adequately clean and the service was straight forward without any issues. They were even understanding when we stayed past our check-out time. I ran into no issues staying here, and was not displeased with anything. My SO was spooked during the night though, as the bathroom lights were flickering a little bit. Personally, nothing stood out to me that would have made my stay a bad experience. Overall, a pretty good spot to stay if you're looking for somewhere cheap!

Well let start by saying , when you have mold coming out of the sheetrock - you don't paint over it, you replace it 😉. When you have more company in your room that you wanted. Yes they have roaches, i have pictures of it all...

I’m extremely unhappy with the whole situation. I am in the military, and my orders got changed. However, the hotel would not work with me in terms of cancellation or changing the dates. This is very unfortunate. I have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, and I’ve also left reviews with Google. I will not be booking again at this location. I may not even use Expedia in the future.
