Got in trouble for having too many people in my room. After management warned me I kicked everyone out and everything was fine. The manager still proceeded to shame me again in the parking lot in front of all the other people staying. He said my actions cause discomfort with the other people staying but somehow him yelling at me didn't it? The stay was very affordable tho! Very dirty room, holes on the carpet, mold in the fridge and rust in the bathroom.
Broken phone.
Scratches on wall. Paint peeling.
The black spots is mold.
Mold in shower.

Hotel is overrun with what seems to be drug trafficking and homelessness. Checked out at 245 am due to roaches and constant banging on walls from other tenants. Broke down cars and broke furniture just thrown about.

I reserved a room for 2 nights, and the condition of the rooms were absolute horrible. The ACE was also not working and where the property was located was unsafe. I tried to get my money back but they didn't let me. DO NOT COME HERE!! Not family friendly at all!

We had to change rooms because the first one they provided was smelly and dirty. Some of the staff acted like they were suspicious we were doing something wrong. In one case they asked how many people we had in the room. I've never been asked that after checking in.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was quiet; however, this is a two rating because the floors, especially around the bath tub was dirty. I had to look for the plug for the microwave, because it had been unplugged. There was nothing for the guests. No coffee even, that most guests would expect. He just looked at me and said they did not have anything, and said "Sorry" They were nice, but they need a professional to walk the rooms and get them back on track. I had to find the maintenance man to figure out how to turn on the TV, because someone previously had changed the normal settings, so that could probably play games on the TV. These things should always be checked before a new guest goes in the rooms. Thank you for reading my message. Hopefully this will help.
