Don't trust hotel.com reviews

Per the hotel.com mostly 3 star reviews we thought this would be an ok stop for one night. You could tell they have been making improvements but the bathroom was dirtier than a gas station public restroom. Also we woke up to a leaking bathroom ceiling and no one in the office to tell about it. If you look up reviews not on hotels.com it gave a more accurate picture of the hotel. Mostly 1star.

DON’T STAY HERE!

Our worst experience ever. We were accosted at our car, and accused of sneaking our dog in. We did not-we paid the $15 “extra guest charge” which the desk clerk told us was the pet fee. She left and came back, accusing us again. Room smelled terrible. Desk clerk was very nice, but she can’t save the whole stay. We’re very disappointed, and definitely will NOT stay again.

Trailway has a microwave for the entire property outside downstairs next to the dryer, washer is inside next to ice machine, there was a big crack in the shower wall, they still use keys for the door with a chain lock, their are dead bolts but the bolt is missing. Saturday night some one blared rap with heavy bass until midnight. There are a lot of long term residents.

The hotel is dingy. Makeshift. Noisy at times. It’s as clean as it could be given its condition. However, the employees were very nice and did their best to be accommodating.

Staff acted like my presence was unwanted and inconvenient. Waited in the lobby to check-in for almost 10 minutes and had to call the place to finally get someone to come help me. Staff kept arguing with each other about my reservation and other personal matters. Light in the bathroom kept flickering out and the TV didn't work (not that we were given a remote to use it with anyways).

I’ll never stay here again.

The place is a dump. The tv didn’t work. There was no hot water in the shower. One of the electrical sockets didn’t work. It was noisy all night long. I’m pretty sure there were drugs deals and prostitution going on.
