Shower was not working, part to turn water on and off was broken and removed. They gave me an another room. Ceiling was leaking. There was a big spider web in the room on nightstand light. I did go to the breakfast area but items were limited, just got a coffee, they didn’t have waffle or butter. But it was a very cheap hotel. Most likely would never stay again

They gave room facing the highway, no way people can sleep. Requested to change, took 45min back and forth with the clerk (I think she is owner) she said only have 2 beds only. Finally, found a room with 1 bed. She kept telling this room more expensive and might have to pay extra. Turned out, room is nasty, TV with no remote, bathtub/shower issues, water won't drain until 10min after the shower. So disgusting!!

The hotel itself was dated w/ an eerie feel. The front desk staff remained uninterested. Also, my room had roaches and the toilet was still holding poo from the last guest…

We booked a three night stay through Expedia as a bundle booking in March 2025. This hotel has no name as advertised outside the building. Unclean/sticky floor all over including elevator floors. Inside our room no TV, no towels. Sticky bathroom counter top, sticky bathroom floor. Carpet feels yucky. And worst of all, multiple bed bugs crawling at night Ruined our night of sleep and ruined our plan next day due to no sleep. Then requested to check out next morning after “one night stay” with no sleep and requested full refund, was denied. Even partial refund was not granted. Email follow ups and requests to speak to upper management were ignored totally. We ended up threw away some of our clothes. Came home did crazy clean up including luggage. Worst hotel experience in life! Do not stay in this hotel!

Very unhappy

From the beginning to end, my stay here was very unpleasant. There is no sign in front for the hotel, the pool was dirty with no clean towels, hallways smelled like smoke and mildew. My first room smelled mildew and was overwhelmingly humid. The second room I received was smelled cleaner although the iron did not work. The pillow cases were extremely stained. The breakfast is definitely lacking to say the least.
