I would never stay here again. The place is absolutely filthy and rundown. Spend the extra money and stay somewhere SAFER and CLEANER. The floors were so dirty, the bath was dirty, outlets didn’t work, curtains had rips. Homeless people right outside the property. Just avoid this place

The staff was ok, room was dirty and looked like it had not been cleaned in months. There was alot going on at night and i was uncomfortable and had a hard time sleeping. There was no parking, if i didnt have a handicap placards i wouldnt have been able to stay the second night. No way to check out in the morning, i left at 930am and there was no one in the office. All in all this was not a positive experience

It's ok.... If you just need a place to sleep for a few days. Seems like some guests are semi permanent. Which is fine because we all have times that we are in transition. Just set the bar low. But it's a place to sleep.

The staff member that checked me in was rude tossed my id and check in paperwork and key towards me instead of handing it to me. The bathroom was dirty the shower curtains had stains. The bathtub was filthy. The TV doesn’t work. Would not recommend this location again.

If I could leave a negative review I would. The pictures on the website are probably 20+ years old. Noisy people, unsafe area, stained sheets and towels, horrible shower head looks like a pipe coming out of the wall, dirty tubs, had to use shower shoes, somehow the bathroom smelt like weed. Over all an unclean room and even had lifted floor boards with water underneath that was no where near a water source. The person above us decided to walk/move furniture all night and we got no sleep, staff wasn’t there to inform. Also allows people to permanently live there. They also never clean their “pet area”. Just disgusting, should be shut down. We paid for 4 nights and left after 3; We couldn’t handle it anymore. Spend the money and stay somewhere else. I wish I listed to the negative reviews. Considering reporting them.

I filtered to reserve specific - allows pets and kitchenette. Was a 1 week reservation. Was given a double (reserved a single) was told “they should charge me more”. They were serious. We checked in late afternoon. The place was truly filthy. A complete dump-dive. I have pics. No exaggeration : the tub/shower and sink had so much scum it changed colors w/cleaning and needed surfacing repair so bad. The shower curtain was yellow, scummy and changed colors w/ cleaning too. Floor not even swept nor mopped (dirt, stains, spills and sunflower seed shells everywhere and as much as 1/4” corner scum/dirt/buildup Hand and dirty prints on every wall, filthy. Cockroaches everywhere…we killed so many. The air conditioner looked like it had BM dried up and other filth on it. Drawers that wouldn’t close, no smoke alarm, no fire water system, no wheel stops/brakes on bed, and, to top it off - no kitchenette. We had to throw away 7 lbs of chuck beef, 7 lbs of boneless chicken breast and all my condiments. Our home wasn’t habitable for the week. It was everything from our frig/freezer. And the added expense of eating out every meal. I tried to speak with the management and corporate. Excuses from the management and very lame offers to “accommodate” from corporate Points for a free nights stay. - “No Thank You. That’s actually stupid. This place should be shut down for health and safety compliance. The only good thing was a convenient location.

Upon arrival, I noticed that the trash bin was located close to the entrance and it was completely filled with trash flowing over it. People walking around the area were of questionable character and the feeling of safety comes immediately to mind. Checking in was fairly easy and straightforward, but seeing a younger family member sitting alongside while playing with a tablet seemed a bit unprofessional to me and I guess that is what distracted her from telling me where my room was located or she expected me to find it for myself. Getting into the room, I was immediately hit with what could only be a chemical smell of what they could have used to get rid of the smoke in the room since it was a “No Smoking” room to begin with. There was a decorative picture that was taken down from the wall and placed on the side of the room. The microwave was a bit of a joke and didn’t have the rotating plate inside of it. The curtain for the shower was not properly put up so the curtain could fully close and the water was hard to adjust from hot to warm. The mattress to the bed was unevenly worn and the sheets were not even fitted to the bed. At least the A/C worked and the TV was nice and big to enjoy. But it was a place with a bed and shower. So there’s that.

False advertisement

Yo checkin was goid, staff was nuce. When i got in the room, it smelled like cigarette smike and the towels looked like some used them to clean the engine of their car. The tub was really dirty, soap scum everywhere and rust. The shower curtain was dirty, it needed to be thrown away. The tv was huge and the bed was ok. Will never stay here again.
