A complete refund with additional perks would be even enough to satisfy my dissatisfaction. I could not sleep. I could not take a shower. Everything was dirty from the lobby to the stairs all the way to the room. You should remove the hotel from your list. I would not recommend Expedia if this hotel is part of it. I am a long time Expedia customer, this is the worst hotel that expedia put me. The pictures on Expedia website are lies. I hope I didn’t have to review this hotel but I am so disappointed that I have to do it. I have pictures of the room and area if Expedia wants me to upload.

Good for a few hour cat nap. But won't go back

The good, air conditioning was great! TV was nice. The bad, very run down. Smoke detector was hanging by a wire. Room smelt like pot. Patches of rug was cut out. Elongated toilet had very small round seat very weird. No hot water, even at 5am. Rug was sticky gross. Most importantly screws sticking out of steps to get up to second floor, shoes got stuck multiple times. Luckily just needed a place to lay my head for a night. Would not bring my family there

There were bugs on the walls. The tub had a patched hole with plaster and brown gold yellow grossness and the mattress was smelly and urine stained and the carpets were very dirty and a foul odor in the room. The pics on the web site make it look like decent cheap option. But we left after 2 minutes in the room and did not stay there

Do NOT stay here

Had a room reserved a month in advance. Never got notification of a change, it wasn't changed via the third party service I used. The girl at the counter was extremely rude, with a very bad attitude & swore they were over-booked. Somehow that didnt stop several "street workers" from having a room. Fairly certain they bumped us to pocket cash for rooms given to those women. We were turned away to go find a new hotel in the middle of the night & wasted gas going back & forth with other locations. Didn't end up with a room at another place til almost 5am. I'll never go there again if they pop up when booking in the area.

Do not book a stay here, you will feel unsafe and unclean. There was a horrible smell, holes in walls/ceilings, air conditioning did not work. We did not stay the night and decided to leave within 2 minutes walking in the door.

The place is absolutely terrible. The main door lock was not working, which made me feel completely unsafe. I tried reaching out to the reception, but they didn’t respond despite repeated attempts. Unfortunately, I had no other option when I booked it. When I arrived around 2 AM and saw the condition of the place, I immediately started calling other nearby hotels to find an alternative. It was a horrible experience overall. I strongly urge others not to even consider this place, even if it’s the last option available.
