Horrible!

It was a disaster! Never stay at this hotel! The photos are completely misleading. The room was filthy, everything smelled like smoke, and the sheets and blankets had cigarette burns. The bathroom door didn’t close, the lights didn’t work, and the smell was awful. It felt more like a shelter for questionable individuals than a hotel. They even tried to charge extra for our 2-year-old child! If we hadn’t arrived so late, we would’ve left immediately. This was the worst night in a hotel I’ve ever had in my life! The reviews are clearly fake — you can easily find much better places for the same price. Stay far away from this place! There were cockroaches!!! Breakfast? A joke: dry cereal, one jar of jam and one jar of jelly — for everyone. That’s it.

The people who ran this hotel should not be in the hospitality business. We overslept and awoke to knocking at our door. It was almost 11:00 AM, checkout time. We got to the front desk at 11:02. They told us we were late checking out and they were not going to return our $100 cash deposit. If we checked out at that minute they would only return $25.00. We took the room another night so the $75 they were going to keep anyways wouldn’t be for nothing. We were 2 minutes late. It was outrageous. There were no towels in our room; you had to ask for some. Also no phones in the rooms. The bed was very nice. The remote control to the TV didn’t work. This is somewhere you might stay if you had no other choice. The owners are

IT LOOKS NOTHING LIKE THE PICTURES!!! Please don’t stay here it’s so horrible it’s non refundable and you have to put a 100 dollar deposit. For the price that I paid it’s not even worth it that room with 2 beds wasn’t worth 70 dollars but I had to stay I couldn’t get my money back. They have a super 8 right next door stay there I wish I would have. They don’t clean it’s filthy the door in the restroom was broken the lights didn’t work the ac wasn’t great EVERYTHING was bad.

Phone didn't work in the room. The bath tub was slippery when my wife got in the shower she slipped and fell. When I talked to front desk they said tub are supposed to be slippery. They said manager will be in in the morning the next morning they said he is hardly there he will not be back until the 20th. Customers service 0. My wife has a burse on her thigh from falling. I got in the shower and it was slippery I wash it down with hot water and a towel to clean it and be able to shower without falling. Still don't have not received a call from management
