When we arrived to the property the first thing we noticed is that part of the building had fire damage. That isn't necessarily the hotel's fault, so we went to the lobby to check in. The hours listed showed the lobby was still open, but the doors were locked and we had to talk to the receptionist through a window. I had paid for my reservation ahead of time, yet I was told I had to pay for parking and put a $100 deposit down for damages and/or smoking. When we got up to the room it already smelled heavily like smoke. We decided it wasn't worth it to stay and risk losing our deposit for the smell, so we immediately went to the window and told the receptionist we were checking out. She asked what was wrong and after I explained she did offer to try and switch us to a different room, but we still decided not to stay. We were only checked in for a total of maybe 10 minutes. When we walked out of the lobby there were a couple other guests who warned us not to walk around the complex alone because someone had been jumped that morning and there was a kidnapping attempt the day before. We were in town for a show, so we left the car there, ubered to the show, and then ubered back. When we got back to the hotel there were multiple police there making homeless people trying to get into the building to leave. We quickly got into our vehicle and left.

I went to a work party in the area and got back to my room about 12:30 am. My room key(s) were not working so I went to the front desk to try to have them help me get in and the front door was locked. It was after midnight and I knocked several times and no one answered so I tried to open the door. The front desk clerk finally came out and was extremely rude, mean, and downright scary. He was literally screaming at me, accusing me of trying to break the door! I was shocked and very intimidated. All I did was knock and try to turn the handle!!. He finally took my key card and fixed it but did not apologize. I’m appalled that someone would treat me that way just for trying to get help to get into the room I paid for. I called the one 800 number to report the incident and I do have to say that the gentleman that answered my call was extremely polite and helpful and promised me that the situation would be addressed.

POOR CUTOMER RELATIONS
Trip was booked through Hotels.com and I have the reservation confirmation with me. I reserved a room for 2 days. Again I had the confirmation with me. My family and I went tto the events we wanted to see on Saturday and when we came back my card would not work. I went to the front desk and asked if they could rescan the card because it does not work. The front desk clerk decided to berate me and told me I did not tell them I was staying two days. I just happened to have the confirmation paper on me and I showed him. He then said that it was my responsibility to tell them when I checked in and paid for my room that I was going to stay for the two days. I asked why I should have to since I had a confirmation of two days. He again became very aggrivated with me and told me that it is always the customers responsibility to tell the front desk what my plans are for the next day. I take this as I am supposed to tell them when and where I am going. I asked if that was correct. His response is that it is the customers responsibiliyu to tell the front desk what their plans are. I HIGHLY DISCOURAGE ANYONE FROM RENTING A ROOM FROM THIS ESTABLISHMENT

Overall it was fine. Breakfast was disappointing with stale muffins and mealy apples that had some sort of film on them. Noisy part of town with lots of people wandering around the parking lot. It is a motel with no pool also, which I did not realize when I booked it.
