I booked this hotel because of the price and it's proximity to the save Mart center as I was going to a concert there. I checked in about 6:30 and just dropped my bag in the room and ran to the concert. When I returned at about 11:30 p.m. I found that the room was absolutely filthy, I'm not talking a stray hair and a few fingerprints. There was urine all over the side of the toilet, hairs everywhere, every mirror was dirty with streaks and dirt and fingerprints. Old dried food inside the microwave, the little coffee machine was covered with dirt and fingerprints, the bathtub is brown with dirt, the floor was covered in dirt and sticky in some places. Definitely did not take off my shoes at any point! I wasn't expecting fancy for the price but at least it should have been clean!? I took photos of everything and went to the front desk and told them I would not be staying there. I started off polite but the man got an attitude and tried to charge me a $10 fee for"messing up the room" I showed him the photos that I did not touch anything in the room and he agreed that I would not pay a fee, hopefully I don't have to fight them over it.

Staff was friendly and informative It was at night and we noticed that there were homeless individuals in the surrounding area where the hotel is located The Queen beds were clean and comfy The room had a coffee pot with complimentary coffee and cups, along with a microwave; however, the refrigerator was unplugged and hadn't been cleaned The TV and remote worked fine In regards to the environmeant of the hotel, we found it to be peaceful and quiet There was a refundable $50 deposit The hotel staff also accommodated my request for a room on the floor level We did have difficulty with the cards. It had to be swiped several times over before it would register and unlock Check in time was anytime before 12 AM Check out time was a bit confusing because the itinerary said between 10 and 11 AM I was told it was by 10 AM and my grandson was told it was by 10:30 AM It would be a good idea if they updated the information on there website Due to the hotel being a bit old, it had a musty smell which I liked because it reminded me of the old days and how buildings were built back then The price of $75 was reasonable for a 1 day and night stay for two people There were fast food and gas stations in the surrounding area within a few feet to a mile radius. And about 1/2 mile or so from the Valley Children's Stadium All in all, we would book a room there again Thank you for a pleasant stay

The conditions I encountered are completely unacceptable and do not reflect the images or descriptions you advertise. • The pool was completely empty and unusable. • The ice makers were filthy and covered in bird droppings. • The hallways had a strong smell of feces and urine. These unsanitary and unsafe conditions make the hotel unlivable and far from what was promised. I am shocked that the property is allowed to operate under such circumstances. I am requesting an immediate resolution, which includes a full refund and a formal acknowledgment of this complaint. Please advise how you plan to address these issues promptly.

Roaches

Hotel room smelled like old cigarettes and there were brown roaches in the bathroom, little ones around the sink and larger ones walking on the walls. There were strands of hair near the pillows in the bed. Not the best but also, its really inexpensive soooooo
