The place is filthy. Front desk attendant is very rude.This place is filled with drug addicts. The remedy for everything is CHANGE UOUR ROOM. Broken refrigerators, broken tvs, and constant Police activity. You can't stay longer than 21 days. Residency issues and squatters.they dafinatly lie about amenities. DONT BRING YOUR FAMILY HERE!! I'm looking for a way to get refunded for a miserable stay.

This hotel could be nice if it was cleaner. The shower curtain has not been changed in months. My son could not play his Xbox because the tv is not HDMI ready so the kids have nothing to do while they are here.

2nd Worst hotel stay in 40 years

Every single piece of furniture in this room is broken or damaged in some way. Everything is dirty. The room smells like smoke. The metal walkway outside the room echoes like a submarine.

Affordable and clean

This was a week long trip, stayed here the first and last night. First night the employee at check in was rude. Different person the next time, was efficient but not friendly. First night I was on the second floor, the room below had a dog that barked throughout the night. Second night was quiet. Room was clean but furniture was not the best condition. Shower faucet leaked into the tub. Overall a 7 out of ten. I would recommend looking at other motels in the area.

I had higher hopes based on the photos, but I was let down in reality. Rooms were rapidly cleaned right before arrival, surfaces were very wet when we arrived. Some surfaces were not wiped at all. The property condition was very poor overall.

Confirmed online a nonsmoking room, and once I arrived, attendant Sia tried to put me in a smoking room and then wanted to charge me to move to a nonsmoking. I called the site that I made my reservation through and had them argue the point for them to honor the reservation. Bought and used Lysol, Fabrise and wet wipes to bear the smell and nastiness.
