The posting for this hotel is extremely deceiving. The room was filthy, had unacceptable "fixes" done to previous damage, missing smoke alarms, exposed wiring, dirty walls, dirty floors, the list goes on and on. Do not waste your time booking this hotel.

Gates are locked for entry around the premises so must enter from Valley Hi. Non smoking but smell cigarettes. Water pressure could be better. Water is hot. I felt safe enough. Across from H.E.B. happyface.

Black mold in the bathroom, ceiling tiles buldging and falling apart. The front desk agent at night was passed out when I went for assistance due to noise at 1am and two people sleeping in their car outside of my room. Left a day early due and was told I would be refunded(video evidence) The hair dryer cord was pieced together, wasn't going to risk trying it. I recommend going anywhere else.

This is the MOST DISGUSTING place I’ve ever seen in my entire life! I can’t even believe Expedia offers this rat trap as an option for lodging on their website. It is INFESTED with roaches. It is falling apart in every way imaginable. The pictures are NOTHING like the actual facility. Prison is cleaner than this place. Travelers beware - DO NOT BOOK YOUR STAY HERE!
Roaches crawling from the headboard within 5 minutes of entering the room.
Looks like the door has been kicked in - wires hanging out of everywhere. Every inch of the room need repair/replacement.
The level of dust, debris, and rust on EVERYTHING. Zoom in!
Broken toilet seat
