When I got there they said they have no room and told us they moved our reservation to another motel, when we got to the other hotel they didn't have a smoking room. I Asked for a smoking room

“Non-smoking” room reeked of cigarette smoke. Chain latch on the front door was connected to trim that was cracked and falling off the door frame. Black mold in the shower. Cigarette burns on the sheets.

Do not book a stay here, you will feel unsafe and unclean. There was a horrible smell, holes in walls/ceilings, air conditioning did not work. We did not stay the night and decided to leave within 2 minutes walking in the door.

Uptown goes above and beyond to make sure, as a single income woman no contact with family, that I’m safe. A rare trait indeed, I’m very grateful.

This is a homeless shelter. The rooms are in very bad condition to say the least. Nothing like the photos online. Every single room reeks of cigs and weed. If all rooms have a dense cigarette smell then calling the property smoke free is a lie. I have been lied to... Disappointed.

This property was extremely dirty. We arrived and were given a room next to multiple individuals who were outside smoking and drinking. Our door did not lock, and out bathroom door did not even fit in the frame. It did not feel like a safe environment. We immediately left and had to find other sleeping arrangements.

The place is absolutely terrible. The main door lock was not working, which made me feel completely unsafe. I tried reaching out to the reception, but they didn’t respond despite repeated attempts. Unfortunately, I had no other option when I booked it. When I arrived around 2 AM and saw the condition of the place, I immediately started calling other nearby hotels to find an alternative. It was a horrible experience overall. I strongly urge others not to even consider this place, even if it’s the last option available.

Gross hotel. Needs updating. Blankets have burn holes. Carpet not even attach to ground. Felt only reason had a roof was because we were on 1st floor
