Got in trouble for having too many people in my room. After management warned me I kicked everyone out and everything was fine. The manager still proceeded to shame me again in the parking lot in front of all the other people staying. He said my actions cause discomfort with the other people staying but somehow him yelling at me didn't it? The stay was very affordable tho! Very dirty room, holes on the carpet, mold in the fridge and rust in the bathroom.
Broken phone.
Scratches on wall. Paint peeling.
The black spots is mold.
Mold in shower.

Hotel is overrun with what seems to be drug trafficking and homelessness. Checked out at 245 am due to roaches and constant banging on walls from other tenants. Broke down cars and broke furniture just thrown about.

I reserved a room for 2 nights, and the condition of the rooms were absolute horrible. The ACE was also not working and where the property was located was unsafe. I tried to get my money back but they didn't let me. DO NOT COME HERE!! Not family friendly at all!

Hal

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was quiet; however, this is a two rating because the floors, especially around the bath tub was dirty. I had to look for the plug for the microwave, because it had been unplugged. There was nothing for the guests. No coffee even, that most guests would expect. He just looked at me and said they did not have anything, and said "Sorry" They were nice, but they need a professional to walk the rooms and get them back on track. I had to find the maintenance man to figure out how to turn on the TV, because someone previously had changed the normal settings, so that could probably play games on the TV. These things should always be checked before a new guest goes in the rooms. Thank you for reading my message. Hopefully this will help.

We had to change rooms because the first one they provided was smelly and dirty. Some of the staff acted like they were suspicious we were doing something wrong. In one case they asked how many people we had in the room. I've never been asked that after checking in.

The floor was filthy.My wife told the maid and she just looked at her and walked away. The bathroom door was filthy and covered in mold. Didn't bother to say anything since they didn't seem to care about the floor. We booked the room for 3 days and were not offered cleaning or fresh towels once while we were there. The first night my wife asked for an extra blanket and an extra pillow and was told they don't have them. Had I not payed for 3 nights in advance, I would have left after the first night.

Worst experience I have ever had at an hotel. Staff was rude , people sleeping in their cars outside your room in the parking lot and ask to use your shower. There were piles of garbage outside the door of the room. The office manager/owner called yelling at me a day before I was scheduled to check out asking where I was cause it was past check out time. I would avoid this place at all cost!!!!! Prices were cheap but still will never go back

Sketchy area in the two story building. Broken down cars and a pitbull with people hanging around. I refused the first room they gave me. They offered up another one near the office that was better and I accepted it. Overall lower than expected and my expectations weren’t very high.
