Don’t do it

Worst hotel I ever stayed at. It was disgusting
Michael, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Pay an extra 50 bucks and go somewhere else

The room was very dirty. The bedsheets were damp. The bathroom was dirty.
1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I was expecting a room that looked like the one shown in the picture, but when I arrived, the room appeared to have not been updated. The bathroom looked horrible, and for paying $189 a night, it was not acceptable, and i didn't even get the option for the inside room they have available. Plus, a bar of soap was open
peterson, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Bathroom was nasty and moldy. Bed was extremely hard. Gave three pillows for two people. Staff were extremely nice though. I personally wouldn’t stay here agaim
John, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Please - trust me - do not stay here. It was filthy - walls, shower, floors, bedding. Sink didn’t work and the bathroom ceiling was leaking. It actually felt unsafe.
Amy, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Location good, not much else

Had an event nearby, so the location was near-perfect for a 1-night stay. Booked an inside room but still had to go outside and up outdoor stairs in drizzle to reach. I think elevator was out of order. Still has a covid-era setup with a tiny slot for your card/id. Not likely to stay there again 7-11 right next door, which we used for breakfast. Bed and room were OK. Staff was friendly
Charles, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The rooms were in bad condition, bugs having fun on the floor, feels nasty. They should know who to give this type of rooms. They do business with these dirty rooms if you accept, your bad. I contacted hotels.com that same day and they fave us another room and they wanted to charge more. This is the worst trip and very disrespectful to a customer that pays the price. This is wrong. If hotels.com endorses this hotel, you guys are also participating in this business.

Paint peeling off ceiling and walls. Only 2 lights worked one being bathroom. Bathroom door frame looked like it has been kicked open several times and can see the splits in wood and all nails used to mend together.
JUAN, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Place is run down and old. Bathroom is disgusting sink water did not run down bathroom definitely needs a cleaning and painting for sure and door kept sticking. Towels and sheets did not look clean and white as should be. Never drag there again. Very disappointed.
Eliabeth, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I was disappointed in the condition of the room - it wasn't expected. For the cost very unexpected. This place needs upgrading and repairs, paint job, sheets weren't clean. It was beyond disgusting. It's hard to believe it's advertisement shows the rooms in tip top shape.

Maria, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The old paint is chipping in the bathroom on one entire wall, and the tub is also chipped and dirty-looking. The key card did not work when I got back to the hotel late at night—I had to bang on the window to get someone to come out. The worker, Hush, was rude and obnoxious, blaming me for the card not working and being unable to open the door. Another manager came to help. Hush yelled at my friend and me and told us to go to another hotel. Very rude.

good location to travel from, but limited services on property, lobby lounge closed, but convenience store next door had good coffee and some options for quick take and go breakfast
2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Everything is old and dirty. Dust everywhere. Booked a three night stay only stayed there for the first night due to wife having severe allergic reaction because of so much dust. Not sure what is going on there but would avoid at all cost.

Definitely wouldnt stay there again. The pictures will show why. Place just looked dirty. As soon as you walked in. Didnt feel comforting. Stains on the walls. Chair was dirty. Table was dusty. Chips and damaged walls. Ac unit barely worked, kept cutting off. Bathroom had mold in the shower. Blankets had holes & marks on them.

Great customer service but bad smell

The front desk person was very polite and super nice but the smell was uncomfortable, as soon as we walked into the building it smelled like Marijuana and then our room did as well. I know nothing can be done about guests smoking but it was still unpleasant specially since we were going to a family event and had that odor on us.

Ajay, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Decently priced, convenient location. Their lobby/sitting area had a sign asking us not to sit on their furniture. A place to sleep but didn’t feel terribly welcomed.
Thomas, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Check-in and check-out was easy and fast but the room overall was alright. First impression of the room was that it stunk of cigarette smoke. Despite booking a smoking room, there was no effort to rid of the pungent cigarette smell in the room (we didn’t think we could literally smoke in the room, seems like a fire hazard). When I originally booked it, I thought it meant there would be an available balcony but this place is more of an inn than a hotel and the window would not open. The television remote didn’t work and overall the photos on the website are misleading. The room itself isn’t terrible but not what you expect after seeing the photos on the website. Overall, my partner and I went to the nearby convenience store to buy an air freshener to help with the stench of the room (with a bit of creativity the room was a bit more cozy) and if you are looking for a quick place to stay the night in a time crunch, this place will do the job.
