NEVER EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The room smelled AWFUL!!!!! It had dry blood on the door that I didn't notice until it was to late. The tub was stained with nastiness. Spiders and other bugs were in the room as if they rented it. No outlets to charge your devices. I had to unplug the dirty microwave. It was alot of drugs and prostitution going on. I would have been better sleeping in my car.... it won't let me upload the pictures but if I could i would.

no sleep
The room in general was very run down. there were only a couple outlets, the bathroom light did not work and the cover was off with exposed wires. The tub was very nice but the door had to remain open to shower. The tv/remote did not work. we could get the tv to turn on but had no options for stations. the 1 outlet by the bed was closer to the window than the bed, and our things would not stay plugged in. There were cobwebs in the corners. Overall was not impressed. Would not recommend this place to people.

I would not recommend this establishment for accomodations. The staff does not answer the phone when you call.The room was dirty, the air conditioner cover fell off the unit, the toilet paper holder fell apart from the wall... not to mention 2 big roaches sighted in the bathroom! Apon our arrival for check in it took staff 20 minutes to even help us.We called from the room at least 4 times to complain, but never an answer. We were charged a $50 deposit when we got there... I had already paid for the room prior to our arrival! Not happy at all! Do yourself and your family a favor.... book somewhere else!

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

This place absolutely did not meet my standards based the pictures posted on the site. My first room was horrible. The wall had a big water stain and mold on it, the wall was falling apart. There were roaches, sewer flies and spiders in the room. It smelled awful. The fridge was leaning and also had bugs in it. The tv did not work. The floor was sticky and dirty. I went to the front to be moved. The second room was better, but still had an awful smell. One of the beds had cigarette burns in the blanket. The bathroom door was damaged at the bottom and taped together. The aesthetic of the outside just looked run down and unkept. It is across from a recovery center so I believe some people live here as well. The parking lot had broken glass in it. The front door of the “lobby” was broken. It was just overall terrible. My kids didn’t even want to take a shower. I will never stay here again.
