The sheets had burn holes most likely due to smoking, floor had a puddle of water for some reason, arrived and they couldn’t find our booking and kept insisting we did something wrong. The worker at the desk was rude. The area seemed unsafe and overall kinda ghetto.

What you pay is what you get. Its a clean bed and a door that locks which is all I can ask for. The only issue was our ac didnt get too cold but for the price, you deal with it. Easy check in and the woman behind the counter was absolutely pleasant all around.

There wasn’t anything I liked. The pictures online were fabulous. In person it was worse than you could ever imagine. Ended up turning the key in and leaving. They refuse to refund which isn’t surprising at all considering the looks of the establishment. This place was an absolute hell hole.

The door didn't lock, sink continuously ran. I was in the room less than 5 minutes before i left. Addict on the property told me i didn't belong there. Couldn't agree with him more. Unsafe, but the old guy at the desk was nice.

Christine

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
First rooms bathroom was questionable, room was bare basic; room set up for one night stands and quickies. Upon complaint was upgraded to a room with space to set bags and a purse down, as well as a less ick bathroom. Lost mirror on the ceiling upon room change, but still had an angled mirror on the wall, the constant porn channel was a nice touch. Not family friendly, but maybe a good place to start one. There is security outside at night, neighborhood seemed safe enough.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Doors to rooms must be forced closed (quite aggressively). This upsets other guests, who assume you are being loud on purpose. This caused major issues when other guests were getting loud & upset with us, thinking we were slamming things around when all we were doing was trying to close the door. Other guests became quite aggressive in this encounter, putting our safety at risk.

Stay Away

This is the worst hotel I ever stayed in. Place is gross and scary! I felt unsafe as patron, lobby looks like a midnight liquor store with outside door having no handles and two inch bullet proof windows. Walked past the sex toy vending machine to my bed for the night. When I go in and saw and smelt the room, I did not want to lay down on the bed or use the shower. Was woken up by a drug induced screaming match that went from outside to inside from 2 AM to 7 AM. Left with no rest, would have gotten better and safer sleep staying on the floor of the airport. I rented another hotel for the second night will be fighting Cindy Lyn and Hotels.com for a refund.

The room was extremely hot. We had to go buy a fan to help try to keep us cool. The floors were dirty. There is no microwave or mini fridge in the room. The bed is very uncomfortable. There was no light buld in the lamp. The paint is chipping extremely bad. The door was hard to open and close, there is no peephole, and the sliding lock on the inside was so old and rusty. The chair had one arm and you could clearly tell the other arm was broken off. There was a crack next to the window unit that you could see outside. Do not recommend this place.

It's the worst place I've ever been to, I asked for my money back because I booked 4 nights. and I could only stay one night, it's a place where undesirable people go, to have sex with three or four people, the worst night of my life

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Rooms had only one bed, a large TV, and multiple mirrors. Not a place to actually sleep in. Car doors were banging all night. People were yelling and loud music was playing on and off all night. We had scheduled a 2 night stay but left after one night. I got zero sleep and we felt unsafe being there.
