I regret cheaping out. Was a rough stay :(
I hate to leave a mostly negative review, but it really was very rough :c The price was low, compared to other hotels in the area, which I knew made staying here a risk. I just needed a place to sleep. Didn’t need a whole bunch of amenities, and I didn’t want anything fancy. I went in with low expectations and needs. Just wanted bare necessities. Sadly, I found myself still regretting the stay, wishing I had just payed $30 extra for a nicer place nearby. The room’s smell was so bad and I never became nose-blind to it. My bathroom was locked when I entered the room, which isn’t necessarily a big deal, but made me wonder if that means the bathroom wasn’t cleaned or was accidentally locked by a cleaner. The bathroom’s quality seemed ok though! Albeit, the water had a bit of a smell to it. Might be a quality of the area and not the fault of the hotel. The bed was springy and put pressure on certain points of my back. I could hear people shifting in their beds in the rooms next to me. Heard lots of banging from upstairs at around 3am. My room was right by the highway and the low sound-suppression meant I would hear every high-speed 18-wheeler zoom by, often waking me up. The interior of the room felt really oppressive to me, and I had really bad anxiety as a result. The air-conditioning in my room was nice, and the tv has On-Demand which was super nice. I still managed to get enough sleep to safely drive the next day. Staff were super nice and helpful. Location was convenient.

Horrible front desk service
When my guys arrived, the front desk told them that only 3 rooms were reserved and only let them check into 3 rooms. I paid for 4 rooms and am very disappointed in how my guys were treated, and am expecting reimbursement for 1 room!

Room and property was very dirty. Several vital items broken and non-functioning in room. Staff made us walk around the outside of the building to access our room instead of allowing us to use the lobby (they had their personal belongings strowed all over the lobby).

The property was not worth my money. The room walls were dirty, baseboards and the shower curtain. The room has a smell and the AC unit look like it hasn’t been cleaned in years. The property is poorly maintained and represents nothing like the pictures.

We were very disappointed upon arrival to the property. The look of it was nothing like the picture depicted on Expedia’s website. We received the run around from the front desk concerning a cancellation and receiving a refund. Spokespersons for Expedia supported the front desk’s position. After much time and agony, we were offered $25 to a $100 on another hotel reservation on the future. Why?! I had to call Expedia twice to no resolve from the spokespersons. It was a nightmare.

This property is less than inviting from the parking lot to the check in process. We had our fingers crossed the room would be decent. NOT EVEN CLOSE to acceptable. We never took shoes off or showered. This room was filthy! What I’m hopefully assuming was good stick to walls, bathroom floors and walls looked worse than a service station, dust and mold in vents on ac system, water spots in bathroom. Manager “unavailable” to speak with. DO NOT STAY AT THIS DUMP!!!
