The area seemed sketchy as a whole from the start, but I tried not to think of it too much. I then checked in to see the condition of the room. The room looked very old and dark. The lights were dim. Then there were bugs in around the furniture including the bed. I checked out immediately and got a room in another hotel nearby

Kind of sketchy, but so close to the college that it's worth it. The water got hot fast and the AC worked great. Security needs some improvement and they need to check in on the appliances.

I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Upon checking in I asked for a ground floor room. The desk person warned me of a roach problem. It was late so I gave the benefit of the doubt and asked for a room upstairs. You have to a code to get in the gate to get to parking lot of room. The sign on the door says to use room key card to access rooms. Lock was broken on the door so didn’t even need to use room key. Elevator was broke so had to use stairs. Get to our room and it was absolutely disgusting. No towels in the bathroom, mold in the shower, ironing board in plain sight with big brown reddish stain, mattresses on both beds with several and I mean several brownish red stains. Just gross. Needless to say we did not stay but we’re charged for 1 night of a 2 night stay.

When we checked in and they told us we had a 10 minute grace period to cancel... I should've done that. The windows had no screens and opened all the way (we were on the second floor). Also no working phone and it was filled with cockroaches. Worst stay ever. Shower pressure was good though.

Staff was friendly and informative. The room and halls smelled like a cigarette was lit all day long. There was roaches in the fridge and bathroom. The microwave was dirty. The fridge was very dirty, unplugged and had bugs inside. The tv only had 8 working chanels. The bathroom sink had a cigarette shoved inside and it sprayed water from the back of the faucet when turned on. The floors had crumbs from previous tenats i guess. There was a 10 minute window to refuse to stay there but with no other available rooms anywhere else, we didnt have a choice. Wont be back and do not recommend at all. Especially with kids

You get what you pay, definitely inexpensive but the service was the worst part. The lady that checked us in, told the people ahead of us that she wouldn’t ever let her mom stay in this hotel. SMH.?
