The property looked rundown upon arrival. Immediately upon examining the premises in my car, I checked to see if it was possible to cancel my reservation but that was no longer an option. I made a choice based on price and location and I chose poorly. The room itself was pleasantly not what I expected based on the exterior but was just short of basic with no headboard, working fridge or even a phone in the room. I am embarrassed that I took a chance on this location but I had a reasonable night's sleep and promptly left with all my things accounted for.

I booked tru Expedia for two nights because the pictures posted online seems okay but when you get to the area. The outside premises is dirty, trashy and needs repair and gives you a feeling of uneasiness and unsafe place to stay. No refund policy but since I paid almost $10 for the insurance on that booking my credit card wasn’t charge $183 for the two nights that I didn’t use.

I’m surprised this place hasn’t been condemned. First, I reserved a 2-queen room, and when I checked in, they put me in a single king room for me and my teenage child, saying they didn’t have a 2-queen room available. This was just the start, but I’m not sure where to go from here. - could not get the bathroom door open without banging it off the toilet. - The refrigerator door wouldn’t close, and when I opened it to look inside, there was a dead cockroach on the bottom of it. - it was almost midnight when the smoke alarm in the neighboring room started blaring and would not stop until a maintenance staffer disabled it almost an hour later. - there was a long marble-topped table at one side that was sticking partway out into the room. When I tried to position it closer to the wall, the entire half of the table disengaged and collapsed on itself, and it was very heavy. - 2 remotes for the TV. Only one turned the TV on, and neither one worked beyond that. Then after midnight when the TV started turning on by itself every 15 minutes or so, the only way to make it stop was to remove the plug from the wall. It was plugged in behind that heavy-assed table, too, so that was another unexpected annoyance. There is more, but this is already way too much to have to endure. Shame on this disgusting mess, and shame on Expedia for not doing their due diligence on behalf of my non-refundable business.

I do not appreciate that they copied my credit card info. As in made a copy with my drivers license on the same page with all numbers exp date and ccv code. I asked to take the copy with me but who knows if they had more copies. I immediately turned my card off and will be ordering a replacement after this trip. My husband barricaded the door because it seemed to have prostitution activity as well as drug activity going on around the property. We booked it because it was cheap, so if that’s all you care about by all means book it. But if you want safety and cleanliness don’t choose here.

The place was filthy. The floor was so nasty that walking a few steps from the shower to the bed made the bottoms of my feet pitch black with grime. The bed sheets had burn marks and holes. The water heater is in desperate need of maintenance— the water gets hot enough to cause actual burns after running for a few seconds. There was mold above the shower head, in the ceiling. The lamp above rhe sink was not secured properly (I could spin it like a propeller.) The AC worked but was loud and sounded like it was dying. Only food options available are the vending machines. Bugs kept getting into the room. Lamp beside bed had bulb but didn't work. One single power outlet I could get to that wasn't at the sink. Cleaning staff didn't knock and would have barged in on me changing my clothes if it wasn't for the metal door later lock thing.
