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

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.

Fine for one night.

Everything is very outdated. It works but some of it feels like a slum. The buildings are separate so you have to drive to get to your entrance. There’s a gate code for parking but the key entrance to my building was broken and unlocked.

This should be removed from the hotels.com option. It is basically being used as a short term dirty home and there were bugs everywhere. Most unsafe/dirty place I've ever stayed.

This property has potential if it wasn’t infested by cockroaches and have a moldy and stuffy smell. Elevator didn’t work. Cockroaches in the bedroom and bathroom. Disgusting and felt unsafe. Signs everywhere telling you they are not responsible for any theft or car break ins. We stayed next to a suspicious crack head who was yelling at 4am in the halls and playing loud music. Worst sleep and worst stay by far.

Don't stay at this hotel!

The only good thing that I can say about this hotel is that it's just a 10 minute walk to the college stadium. Otherwise, don't believe the photos on the website. The staircase to the 3rd floor was chained off and padlocked. Manager woke us up at 4:30 am, wanting to discuss the problems. I didn't let him him. In the end, I received a full refund, thank goodness.
