Verified review

4/10 Fair

I did not receive the room I selected. The room wasn't clean along with the bathroom. Poor attendant service. The parking lot had trash all round it. The pool has never been attended to for maintenance. It had trash in it and looked like a swamp pool. I had to ask for new linens because none of them in the room were clean. The new linens I was given was dirty. Terrible Management. Would not recommend the location.

Verified review

6/10 Good

The staff was great very nice but the room needs to be cleaned better, the bathroom still had old used towels still in the bathroom when I arrived, and of course the shower was not clean felt slimey had to purchase shower shoes, the bed sheets need to be washed better or purchase new sheets if the stains on the sheets can’t be removed. The floors were really dirty turn the bottom of my feet black and the curtains over the air conditioning needs to be change or taken down often because it looked like black mold growing on the ends of the curtains. If the room wasn’t so dirty I would have given 5 stars.

It was aight…

They stay was good, but I do have a few complaints. The hot water was not hot, the cold air was not cold (68 degrees and it was still warm), I had two roaches in my room and there was an odor. Front desk staff was really welcoming and friendly.

Pool was not open and green, Breakfast hours were cut to 6-8, random people hanging out outside all day and night. Children running around inside at all hours, bathroom exhaust fan did not work, fridge was leaking, sheets stained, outside trash overflowing
Verified review

4/10 Fair

It was not a great experience. When I checked in late at midnight it reeked of cigarettes in the lobby, the room was very outdated, no air vent in the bathroom, no body wash in the dispenser, towels had hairs on them, bed was lumpy and housekeeping knocks on your door in the morning asking if you need anything. I would not recommend this hotel to a family member or friend.

Met some cool people, third floor had a lot of messed up rooms. No ice machines. No laundry room. No gym. Elevator was scary. There was no sign on building or by the room. Pool was extremely dirty

Won’t be back here

You get what you pay for. After driving 12 hours, we just wanted to rest and give our 2 young kids a place to sleep. We didn’t sleep under the sheets, the place gave me the ick. It did its job, but absolutely wouldn’t stay again. Pros: room was large, AC was ice cold, quiet, front desk staff was super friendly, smelled clean and not like cigarettes or mold, didn’t see any bugs (which I was extremely worried about), elevator worked Cons: trash everywhere outside, pool was disgusting, area was kinda sus, very outdated and janky, bedding had stains and was uncomfortable, there was a dirty washcloth left behind in the bathroom, floor made our socks black.
