Crappy service

When we checked in they said we can’t have visitors. Then he came to our room and told us they couldn’t stay no longer than 25 mins he was rude and then this morning he came knocking on our door after we clearly told him we just wanted the room for one night had me open the door to check and see if it was just me and my man and then asked if we was staying another night or checking out

We had reservations and I put down I have a service dog. When we got there we were told no dogs. This is a violation of the ADA. We ended up having to find another room at 11pm.

It will do in a pinch.

It was an old smelling hotel. It was a cheap stay. You get what you pay for. The staff was friendly and the bedding was clean.

Would not recommend to anyone

First of all I had a reservation through hotel.com. Have never had a problem doing it through this site. When I arrived the hotel informed me that it was going to be $5 more a night. I know that it does not seem like much but when you arrive you expect to pay the price that was given to you. But after that things just got worse the room seemed to be all right, but over the time we were there I discovered many places that were not clean including a couple of spots in the bathroom where it looked like blood was on the wall. Also when I went to go put some stuff up in the drawers I discovered someone else's clothes already there. All this leads me to wonder if they even bothered to clean the room at all. There is one thing I know for sure, and that is I will never stay here again..
