I enjoyed that the room was clean, and smelled great. Everything in the room works perfectly fine… the microwave, television, Air Conditioning and refrigerator. I loved the new shower system and the whole bathroom setting. I felt more secure this time, compared to how it used to be. I can actually relax and feel more comfortable in my favorite Room 217. Room 217, that’s the room I would love to have from now on. I plan to take advantage of their weekly promotional rate.

My stay at Skylite Inn was truly a great experience from start to finish. I was initially having trouble finding the location, but everything changed the moment I called. The staff member who answered the phone was incredibly kind and caring towards my predicament. It was raining and cold, and Skylite went above and beyond by arranging transportation for me, which immediately made me feel valued and taken care of. When I arrived, the front desk was just as friendly in person, and the room was very clean, comfortable, and the big king bed made for an excellent night’s sleep. Overall, I had a wonderful time at Skylite Inn. I will be back again.

Didn’t read reviews before booking, I hope you do! This place is terrible. Killed 4 roaches within 2 minutes of stepping foot inside. We didn’t even take our bags up… slept in the car and used the shower… their motto is they work while you sleep so it’s literally always under construction…. Just bad… but that was my fault for not doing research .

This property should not be listed as a safe place to stay. The “renovated” room was in poor condition—the front door didn’t close properly and had large gaps, making it impossible to secure. There was damaged and missing drywall, and the bathroom looked poorly assembled from mismatched materials. The property also appeared to have no other guests, only workers, which added to the feeling of being unsafe. I did not feel comfortable staying and left immediately. This place needs to be reviewed and removed until it meets basic safety standards.

Room is newly renovated , floor looks like hampton inn , nice wooden floor, Staff , look like alll new faces n I think it is new management, Gm olusheyi n front desk vishal was so welcoming people , they treat me like a family n make me feel like I m at my home . They have free milk to my kids, water to my husband n also offer a free stay because I go every Saturday , They are pet friendly, but they keep good rules to keep the property clean , they offer pet poop bags for free, Also they are very strict about non smoking so if you are smoking than make sure u smoke outside or else deposit will be smoked, but it make the room smoking free so I understand . They not have swiming pool or else that will be great for my kids , Rates are so reasonable, you must book this hotel for safe sleep they have security who walks all night n do front desk that make me feel so safe especially me with the kids by myself sometime .

Absolutely disgusting. We didn’t even stay. As soon as we walked into the room, we turned right around and booked somewhere else. The room smelled strongly like urine, there were bugs everywhere, and the pillow had visible stains on it. The door lock was barely attached and didn’t feel secure at all, which was honestly concerning. On top of that, several things in the room were broken or missing. It felt dirty, unsafe, and completely unacceptable. Save yourself the time and money—do not stay here.

My second worse stay ever. Rooms filled with cockroaches and bugs. The cockroaches were crawling all over the room and my rooms light wasn’t working. When I told the front desk staff and showed him the light didn’t work and even showed him a cockroach on the bed, the normal thing for him to do was switch me rooms ! Instead, he just brought a lamp from his office and put it in the corner while he told a staff member to spray where the cockroach was. It wasn’t until I told him to switch me rooms that he switched me rooms but even then, the other room had cockroaches too! The rooms are remodeled for the most part which makes no sense while they’re full of cockroaches and insects. I had to cancel my stay and boom a different hotel.
