Ashley, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Extremely unhappy with my stay

At check in I was given a room with a sink clogged with mud and no working phone. The next room was a little better but the phone also didn’t work and the TV didn’t either. The bathroom had the previous guests dirty washcloth hanging on the shower head. There were men lingering outside our door drinking beer and yelling until after 1am. I couldn’t move hotels, no refund available. The next night more men drinking in the stairwell, outside my door, and in the parking lot. I didn’t feel safe going from my car to my room at all. There was a lot of middle of the night yelling and revving engines. There was no “breakfast” as you can’t even enter the lobby at any time. This is not at all a safe place for families to stay. I fully understand, you get what you pay for, however this was not at all like the pictures and things that were advertised were not offered.

Trash in room, dead roachs in the room, damaged doors, linens with cigarette burns and stains
Brian, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This property should NOT even be an Expedia option. Remove it. The pictures are all false. There is no safety. It's a damn sex traffic hotel. How has NO ONE investigated?! I've called authorities. Expedia should be embarrassed. I'm expecting my money back, or i will sue. We took pictures of everything. Take this place iff as an option. Now!!!
