Squalor

Has seen its better days long gone past. If you don't mind the squalor and questionable security this could be the place for you to save some money. Needs a deep cleaning and paint. The guy sleeping in his wrecked car in the parking lot was friendly, hitting me up for money and cigarettes coming and going. I don't think I'll be staying here again.

This place is a danger and should not be listed.

This place shouldn't be advertised on any platform. It's dirty, smells horrible, and is full of dirty, dangerous-looking homeless people. I decided not to stay and I'm asking for my money back because it's a scam!

Confirm what your getting with the hotel

Hotels. Com screwed up our reservation. I had to take the rooms available vs rooms requested and booked. The front desk did the best they could. The hotel needs some tlc, but for price I got what I expected.

great people, lousy accessible rooms

the people where fantastic, friendly, and accommodating... BUT why is the handy cap accessible rooms in the back of the hotel? with only the lobby as an entrance? I have a hard time walking and I had to take the nearest room instead of an accessible room that I truly needed.

Ok for a bed for the night.

First room had wires hanging from the ceiling. So had to get moved to a different room that had 2 full beds instead of 2 queen beds and was noticeably smaller. Both rooms were dingy, old and smelled of something stale. The sheets were clean but obviously stained.

Completely run down

Rock hard beds, flat pillows, discoloured sheets and towels, burn marks in the carpet from stove top elements. Carpets are a bunch of mismatched chunks. Bathroom light fixture was falling down. No breakfast available, even though it was advertised (although I wouldn't have eaten there due to the level of care and cleanliness). Security guard was friendly. Front desk workers husband was friendly. Front desk worker seems like there was better things to do than to serve us. This place has a lot of potential. It could be way better than it is. It would be nice to see things fixed up.

Disgusting

Hotel needs to be condemned and bulldozed. It’s about 75 percent there already. ‘Carpet’ is mismatched squares of moldy carpets. Wires are hanging out of broken ceiling tiles everywhere. I can’t believe this passed any kind of inspection. Parking lot is filled with homeless men. Room was filthy, mattress lumpy, sheets were not clean. I can’t believe anyone would present this wreck as a functioning hotel.

Okay stay for the orice

Hotel was no more than a bed to sleep in. They are currently in the middle of a “remodel”. Breakfast was a honeybun, or a nutragrain bar on the lobby. Parking lot at 2 am when we arrived was full of random, non hotel guests just hanging out-did not feel comfortable with our luggage on our top of car rack with that many people in the parking lot at 2am. Pool looked great even though we didn’t utilize it, and the front desk staff was very friendly. Another perk was that even though the other rooms were loud from the hallway we couldn’t hear the noise in our room
