Unclean property where the manager is more concerned about FaceTiming with his friend than checking us in. First room not made up, second room looked like it was already slept in. Bugs crawling around. Clothes under the stairs. Unclean lobby. Do not recommend.
Unclean lobby with I don't know what on the walls, and dead bug on the floor.
First room unmade.
Second room, looked slept in.

Owners make you pay a 25 deposit when clearly the websites states no additional fees. They say it’s a deposit and you will get back at checkout. Straight up lies.

This hotel was absolutely disgusting. The bed sheets were stained, floors were not swept and the room was just in terrible over all condition. The area was very unsafe. The picture shows a white building....this building was brown and very run down. This room was so terrible we left. When i requested a refund i was denied by both the hotel and hotels.com. We will not be booking through hotels.com

Absolutely Disgusting – Stay Away! We booked two non-smoking rooms for five people and were immediately hit with the strong smell of cigarettes masked poorly by air freshener. Both rooms reeked. The sheets were filthy and stained with what appeared to be bodily fluids—completely unacceptable. There were cigarette burn holes in the sheets, and the pillows were yellow with drool stains. We weren’t expecting luxury, just cleanliness, and this place couldn’t even deliver that. When we approached the manager, she became defensive and raised her voice. Instead of addressing the issue, she blamed us for checking in half an hour early—as if that somehow justified the nasty sheets and lack of basic hygiene. When I asked for her boss, she insisted she was the highest authority. Totally unprofessional. Thankfully, we booked through Expedia, which refunded us for one night. But we were only in those rooms for five minutes—just long enough to realize we couldn't stay. Avoid this place at all costs. Hygiene, professionalism, and basic hospitality were completely absent.

The heater in the room didn't work. The drain in both the sink and the shower were clogged and I had to buy drain-o and cleaning supplies to make it sanitary enough to shower in. The floors were not swept so even after getting out of the shower I had to immediately put on socks. I also had to buy washcloths because none came with the room. Every night there was either someone screaming in the parking lot until the wee hours of the morning, fire alarms going off, or cop cars in the parking lot.

Had to call the police to check in. The lady at the front office claimed she could not give me a room despite me providing her with proof of reservation. Was rude. Once the police showed up she magically found my room
