Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Old and run down

Although the room was clean, that is about all I can say positive about it. when you pull in there are many rundown building in the lot, I think they are for long term stays? Made us nervous the check in desk is behind glass and you talk to the check in person through the glass with small metal hole to exchange papers. Junk yard next door and many stray cats around. Continental breakfast consists of coffee and a few packaged snack that looked like they came from vending machine and even after contacting front desk twice never got free WiFi to work. Over all old and run down, would not recommend!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

A 25 dollar room for a lot more. Terrible experience

My experience was terrible. The facility was not as described, the waiting area for check in (10x15 outdoor add=on was where continental breakfast was served. Tupperware containers of cereal and water were on a counter, a table slightly longer than a card table was where you sat. I asked the manager if I could check the room to make sure if was ok...was not. I asked if I could just cancel...he said it was up to Expedia...then when Expedia he told them he would not cancel. TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE area, management. Would never recommend nor return.

Smell of old room was very heavy. I left the door open to try to get fresh air into the room until I had to go to sleep. Not restful.
