Weekend getaway
It was bad. The room old not well taken care of, the bed when opening to the sheets there were hairs. The bathroom door was broken couldn’t close it. The towels one was a regular the other one was a kid size. There was so much noise, kids running on the hallways dogs barking . The sign at checkin said no animals yet there was a barking dog. The couch in the room looked so old and dirty.

From the get go, the hotel and parking lot looked unsafe with many sketchy people around. Office was locked upon our arrival and the receptionist didnt come down until after 12-15 mins. Room not cleaned before our check-in nor throughout our stay (2 nights). No extra toilet paper or towels. Bathtub had a blood stain and what seemed to be hair trimmings. Housekeeping knocked at our door at 5:30pm to check if we needed anything and after we had requested extra towels we never got them. Loud noises/conversations were able to be heard all throughout the night/early morning. Definitely would not recommend.

Not very mindful of the fact that people want to leave their car and take an Uber. This was before I officially checked in. He did not want me to leave my vehicle at first.

You do not want to stay here
Very dirty, smells like cigarettes and faucets leak. Finger prints all over the headboard, mirrors and light switches. Would have left if there were other options, but it was late.

Think twice before you stay here
Look at the images they show of the rooms and then look at what you get. This is the biggest case of fraud and Hotels.com should remove their listing. I could not get a refund because it was a third-party rental. I slept on a blanket from my car as I did not want to sleep in the bed. Also talking to the young man running the hotel (very Nice) told me they get government aid for housing people for 30 days so their customers were questionable at best. I had to call management at 12:30 in the morning due to outside activity outside my room.
