The TV didn't work, the light in the bathroom didn't work, there was a puddle of water in the room by the front door, and the room had bugs flying around. The worse place I've ever stayed in!!!! I'm frustrated... When I tried calling the front desk, no one picked up.... I really want my money back...

Worst Hotel I Have EVER Seen

This hotel was absolutely disgusting. The bed sheets were stained, floors were not swept and the room was just in terrible over all condition. The area was very unsafe. The picture shows a white building....this building was brown and very run down. This room was so terrible we left. When i requested a refund i was denied by both the hotel and hotels.com. We will not be booking through hotels.com

Had to call the police to check in. The lady at the front office claimed she could not give me a room despite me providing her with proof of reservation. Was rude. Once the police showed up she magically found my room

Nice except for the uruly guest kids on top floor

Had a nice stay. Peaceful up until 5pm. The people upstairs let their kids run and jump all night long til 11pm!! I work and couldn't sleep until midnight!! Other than that, the front desk personnel was awesome and the mngr was excellent! I will stay again just not under someone with small unruly kids!

The worst stay ever

Woke up with bug bites. No heat. No toilet paper. Loud neighbors & outside until 5:30 am. People living at Hotel. People coming and going all night long. Burn holes in bedding. Dirty room. $74 way overpriced. Rude

The heater in the room didn't work. The drain in both the sink and the shower were clogged and I had to buy drain-o and cleaning supplies to make it sanitary enough to shower in. The floors were not swept so even after getting out of the shower I had to immediately put on socks. I also had to buy washcloths because none came with the room. Every night there was either someone screaming in the parking lot until the wee hours of the morning, fire alarms going off, or cop cars in the parking lot.

Stay somewhere else

The room was terrible. Broken tiles on bathroom floor. Shower curtain rod was broken. Towels were stained. Mirror had writing on it. Pillows were horrible. Comforter had cigarette burns. Only stayed there because it was last minute and everything decent was booked.

I am use to five star hotels so I know my bar is a little high when it comes to ratings. However this would have been a low rating even for someone who has never traveled. The hotel was old and run down looking. My reservation was cancelled and I did not cancel. The staff was nice and I was able to make another reservation very quickly. The towels had spots on them. The bathroom celling had a whole in it. Then later that night we heard gunshots. For me not a good experience

no sleep

The room in general was very run down. there were only a couple outlets, the bathroom light did not work and the cover was off with exposed wires. The tub was very nice but the door had to remain open to shower. The tv/remote did not work. we could get the tv to turn on but had no options for stations. the 1 outlet by the bed was closer to the window than the bed, and our things would not stay plugged in. There were cobwebs in the corners. Overall was not impressed. Would not recommend this place to people.

I would not recommend this establishment for accomodations. The staff does not answer the phone when you call.The room was dirty, the air conditioner cover fell off the unit, the toilet paper holder fell apart from the wall... not to mention 2 big roaches sighted in the bathroom! Apon our arrival for check in it took staff 20 minutes to even help us.We called from the room at least 4 times to complain, but never an answer. We were charged a $50 deposit when we got there... I had already paid for the room prior to our arrival! Not happy at all! Do yourself and your family a favor.... book somewhere else!
