Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The lobby are had an odor to it as did the room before turning on the air though not as bad. The room was tidy but not fully clean, there was dried blood on the light switch in the bathroom, the sink had hairs and other lint in it. The box springs aren’t covered and have hairs and dirt on them when checking the surrounding area. Needs deeper cleaning. I didn’t end up staying and was not able to get refunded but will try to file a claim with the insurance purchased at time of booking.

I awoke last night to use the restroom, and saw roaches crawling all over the walls. Needless to say, I am disgusted and flabbergasted that this place cost me over 400 dollars for 2 nights plus charged me a 23 dollar pet fee when they have an infestation thats going to stress me out for weeks.

The staff was helpfull and professional and that they would refund my money. I am not sure how Expedia handles this, but I cannot believe Expedia would list a property in this condition and mislead me into thinking it was a safe and clean hotel. However, the property was so smelly and dirty that I left without staying there and had to find alternative accommodation. There were also several vagabond-looking people around the property, and not surprisingly, the police turned up with lights on and were intervening with some people. This property should not be listed for travelers! It caused my much inconvenience. I was travelling with my wife and 15 year old niece.

Holes in unmatching bedspreads, broken couch, horrible smell, "solicitors" in parking lot. Did not stay out of concern for our safety. Expedia and hotel refused any refund except a $50 Expedia credit.

Don't Stay At This Hotel!

Hotels.com should not recommend at provide this as a hotel on your site. I booked this hotel 2 months before our trip. We asked for 2 1st floor rooms because of a pet and a person who has issues walking up and down stairs, they did not accommodate. We had what they called "the pet' room, the couch in the room was old and dirty, the bedding had burn holes in them, it wasn't really clean. The outside of the building was dirty and trashy. I paid a $23.40 pet fee (normal fees are maybe $10.00). I paid $81.39 for that room. The second room was better, and it was in the main part of the hotel. The hotel was way overpriced for the condition, and I will never book a room at that hotel again.

They said breakfast none ,no coffee machine was broke. Garbage was up-and-down the hallway, and I was disgusted with this hotel. There was not even a blanket on our bed. I froze last night. This is ridiculous, you guys advertised this for the first time this has happened, they had no exercise room and they advertise an exercise room
