The hotel was disgusting with bugs on the beds and walls, and there is dirt on the walls and holes in the walls. The staff offered another room, but it was similar. Requested a refund through Expedia due to the misrepresentation of the hotel online.

Very scary and very smelly rooms. My room smelled like so much smoke was in the vents. I didn’t even stay the full night. I left because it was hurting my nose. Not safe at all, people yelling and screaming for the cops. Bad stay. Don’t stay here

You hope that when an inexpensive room is booked you can say it was cheap but it was clean. This was neither. Dirty floor dirty bedstands dirty shower curtain not a surface was in good repair so many scratches snd broken pieces throughout the room. Fixtures were chipped. A used condom behind the side table.hair on floor and hot water took forever to get hot, Please put a table lamp in room and hangars. Re-flooring needed as well as paint. Locks on windows.

It was disgusting, we couldnt even stay and sleep. The beds had ash holes on them. Yellow and brown stains on the sheets, the walls had a bunch of random stains and the room had RATS... Talked to the manager and his own words were "im sorry, the cleaning laundry is closed", basically telling me to just sleep like that. We checked in at 9:30pm, went out to club and came back at 2:45am. Only stayed 15 minutes before checking out after trying to have it cleaned. Photos speak for theirself.

The room was terrible. Only I towel and it was old and stained. It was supposed to be white! I will never stay at this dump again. The property owner needs to update the motel and take some pride in their business cause it’s so bad. There was also no TV remote and the TV did not work.

This place should be condemned. I’ve stayed in better hotels in third world countries! Towels looked like they use them to clean the floors. Found two roaches in the room. Never again !!!!!!

This is the most ratchet hotel/motel I have ever been to. It was dirty. It smell really bad. We got two really small towels and both were full of stains. The heater in the shower didn’t work very well. And the toilet needed at least 3 flushes to completely flush. I wish I could give it 1/2 a start because that’s what this place deserves. And for $80 a night. Definitely wouldn’t recommend
