The place is as ghetto as can be with hoards of crackheads in and around the building, i never even made it inside, when i got there the main door was locked and they had a crackhead come out to get my name and then go back inside only to come out again and tell me my room wasnt clean yet and to come back in an hour (it was 7pm). Then i said id like to cancel and they told me that was fine and i wouldbt be charged and they charged me anyway

The hotel is in a very bad drug dealing area. Even cab companies avoid coming here. It took 7 cabs going by until the 7th finally stopped to get us to the airport. The place is very dirty, many thing’s broken or missing. The staff lies. They advertise free shuttle to and from the train station and airport. They do not have a shuttle service at all. I only booked this after talking to them directly verifying that they would pick us up and drop us off. After booking I checked 2 more times and they again verified that they would pick us up and drop us off. When we arrived they refused to pick us up. In the morning they refused to take us to the airport. Smoke detector missing from room. Open wires sticking out under desk. Fan had no cover. Heater couldn’t be shut off and we couldn’t cool the room below 80+ degrees. It was a scarey and miserable night.

The staff member was really nice. The motel needs updating badly. The window of our room was open with the screen torn and pried up. The worst part was random people kept walking in and out of the front door with several people hanging out there. Felt uncomfortable so we went to a different motel.

Why Expedia showing this type of stays even in listings? The place is highly unsafe because most of guests are unsocial and junkies. The hotel doesn't even use computers to check even any reservation, they still work on papers And on arrival.

This hotel seems to make their business on housing poor immigrants and homeless on public funding. Nothing wrong with that and the hotel is by far the least expensive in town. You should be aware of this before booking, otherwise the security at the doorbell and the checkin looks weird. Staff does a good job given the conditions, rooms are reasonably clean.
