10/10 Exceptional

Staff helpfull but cleanliness sux

The room was horrible as far as interior decorating, the walls were dirty with fingerprints and other gross bodily fluids, the toilet seat was dirty with pube-hair, i saw blood smeared on bathroom wall, there was an occasional cockroach scurrying about... The towels were dingy and an offwhite color along with the sheets, the customer svc at the front desk was good, nice people, very helpful at all times day or night

Roach Motel

Dirty, needs to be painted, saw a few roaches, alive and dead. Bad smell in the room of cigarettes. Small window AC didn't cool the room. Large homeless population in the area and on the property. Noisy all night. No hair dryer, no iron.

Very scary and very smelly rooms. My room smelled like so much smoke was in the vents. I didn’t even stay the full night. I left because it was hurting my nose. Not safe at all, people yelling and screaming for the cops. Bad stay. Don’t stay here

BUD BUGS IN ROOM

After taking a shower and sitting on the bed I see a bed bug crawling on me I immediately left the room I couldnt sleep there or sit back down and I still feel traumatized from it
David, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

You hope that when an inexpensive room is booked you can say it was cheap but it was clean. This was neither. Dirty floor dirty bedstands dirty shower curtain not a surface was in good repair so many scratches snd broken pieces throughout the room. Fixtures were chipped. A used condom behind the side table.hair on floor and hot water took forever to get hot, Please put a table lamp in room and hangars. Re-flooring needed as well as paint. Locks on windows.

SHUT IT DOWN

It was disgusting, we couldnt even stay and sleep. The beds had ash holes on them. Yellow and brown stains on the sheets, the walls had a bunch of random stains and the room had RATS... Talked to the manager and his own words were "im sorry, the cleaning laundry is closed", basically telling me to just sleep like that. We checked in at 9:30pm, went out to club and came back at 2:45am. Only stayed 15 minutes before checking out after trying to have it cleaned. Photos speak for theirself.

The photos of this property are deceiving. The room smelled horrible, they have homeless people living there, the bed spread had burn holes in it. Did not feel safe staying there. Immediately checked out and found another hotel. DO NOT STAY HERE!!

Terrible place to stay !

This place should be condemned. I’ve stayed in better hotels in third world countries! Towels looked like they use them to clean the floors. Found two roaches in the room. Never again !!!!!!

The Worst Motel

The room was terrible. Only I towel and it was old and stained. It was supposed to be white! I will never stay at this dump again. The property owner needs to update the motel and take some pride in their business cause it’s so bad. There was also no TV remote and the TV did not work.
Charles, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This is the most ratchet hotel/motel I have ever been to. It was dirty. It smell really bad. We got two really small towels and both were full of stains. The heater in the shower didn’t work very well. And the toilet needed at least 3 flushes to completely flush. I wish I could give it 1/2 a start because that’s what this place deserves. And for $80 a night. Definitely wouldn’t recommend
