This was the worst experience possible. There were bugs everywhere, smoke smells, presence of fire damage, mold on the shower, a busted lock on the door. The second room there was hair in the beds, the floor was disgusting, im pregnant so i was afraid to be there alone, things were thrown at our window in the middle of the night when my husband had left for the store. We left because i was uncomfortable. I had to clean everything myself with cleaning wipes.

Cockroaches!!
Roaches!!!! This was the worst hotel experience I have ever had. During check in the elderly man told me I looked like I was going to mess up the room because he “knew my type”. I, a 38 year old mother, was there with two of my children after a college football game. Then we get to the room at almost midnight (too late to leave and find another place) and there are baby roaches in the sink, on the bathroom floor, and on the walls near the beds. (I have pictures as well). The carpet in the room was sticky and the entire room was so dirty (I also took pictures). I am shocked this place hasn’t been shut down.

Dirty,smelly,old,hair in the shower.Double charged
We booked this hotel for two nights, Friday and Saturday. We arrived late Friday night to a dirty, old, unkempt, smelly, creepy hotel. Bad vibes. We were actually afraid to stay there. There was HAIR IN THE SHOWER AND THE TUB. We managed to stay there for about five sleepless hours. We checked out very early, way before the official checkout time. They charged us for BOTH NIGHTS even though we weren't even there anymore. I wish I could give this hotel negative stars. One of the worst hotels in my life. Plus they charged us the security deposit. For what????

This hotel looked nice in the pictures. When we arrived I got my key, even though there was 2 adults and 4 kids we got one key. The room had an awful smell of cleaner and cat urine. It clearly stated online that it was a room that sleeps 6, the pull out bed was the size of a crib mattress that was dirty with brown stains on it. It was thin so the springs dug into your back and no way you were fitting one person on it comfortably let alone 2 so my son had to sleep on the floor. We asked for more pillows and towels since we only had 3 towels and were told there was plenty in the room and got one extra pillow. Ridiculous for the price. The outside door never shut so anyone off the street could come into the hotel. Very unsafe. I will NEVER come back to this hotel and will tell everyone about my experience. If I could give it negative stars I would.
