The room was a nice room. The couch was very dirty though. I was ch$101.36 on my card for the room and then I noticed that they changed me another $75.00 and I can't get ahold of them to find out why I was charging the extra $75.00

I was there for 4 days. It was rough. I went to check in (I did the pre-check in and opted for early check in for an additional fee) and not only did they not let me check in they were rude about it insisting early check in was at 3 despite the sign on the wall that said regular check in was at 3. Outside it’s really run down and looks extremely sketchy. The entire experience was nothing like the photos. I went into the room and it wasn’t clean, there was crumbs all over the floor, hair, finger nail clippings etc. I took it upon myself to further inspect the sheets had a cigarette burn, there was cracks in the wall, the paint was “sweating”, the shower head was moldy. Door was covered in grime, my front door lock didn’t work. Everything was dirty. I booked two rooms. One for my husband, son and I one for my mom and two little sisters. They were both in terrible condition. No new towels no bed being changed. We ended up purchasing cleaning materials to straighten up ourselves as we had no other options in the area available. If I could attach photos I would.

You get what you pay for. But I only saw the check in person when I checked in and no one else. We had to pay a $75 deposit that was not explained online when I booked the room. The good thing was it was only for 1 night. I will not stay here for any time longer. The room was clean and that was the only positive for this hotel.

This was not my initial pick for a hotel but gave it a shot. Room smelled musky, evidence of mold, sheets were torn and stained. No wash clothes provided and 1 trash can in the bathroom. After 3 days saw roaches. Ugh. Never again.

We arrived and got checked in. We were told the only rooms available were on the 3rd floor. We then found out the elevator was out of order. We had to carry suitcases and a baby up three flights of stairs in the middle of July. Once we opened our room, it was dirty. Food on the counters, wet towels in the floor. We then had to carry everything back downstairs just to find out there were rooms available on the first floor. I didn’t appreciate being lied to and then someone questioning whether the room was cleaned or not. Definitely will not stay at this location again.

DO NOT BOOK HERE AND WHEN I SAY DO NOT.. PLEASE DO NOT I’m so so upset I live 4 hours away so of course when I get there me and my friend are super tired well the hotel looks disgusting nothing like the pictures but that’s not the worst part if you want to lay in bed bugs see cockroaches and the smell of mold then you’ll love it but I don’t think anyone would love that. And yes I’m being serious cockroaches it was disgusting not to mention they said they would provide a refund after all of the photos I provided and Expedia nor I ever got a response. I’m just warning anyone interested to please take your business elsewhere we ended up staying at a a holiday in on nascar drive and it was absolutely amazing I will totally be going back to the holiday inn but here NEVER!! I mean EVER I really would like the health department to be notified on this because my friend after laying on the bed had bed bug bites. Please book elsewhere just looking out for anyone considering booking here.
