The worst hotel I have ever been to

The service here was absolutely horrible. I travel the United States for a living I stayed in hotels in more than 47 States and so many cities and towns that I could not list them. Nowhere in the country have I experienced the disrespect and the lack of customer service from a hotel like I have it this one. It is absolutely no reason for the way I was treated.

Pretty run down and sketchy hotel. Our room had a couple of holes in the walls and ceiling, bed was moved to cover some holes. It’s cheap, you get what you pay for. If you can afford a better hotel, do so, otherwise it’s ok.

Not Recommended

BEWARE owner did not want to honor the hotels.com rate. He told us he would only let it go this one and next time he won't honor the low price hotels.com got us. Bathroom had black gunk all along the floorboards. Sketchy neighborhood. The pictures on hotels.com make the rooms seem decent..but they are not when you actually get inside. Very rude. Poor customer service, all because we booked through hotels.com

The deadbolt was broke, the lock latch at the top was broke, the door had been kicked in and not properly repairs, the coffee carrafe was missing, the linen was washed in something that made me itch all damn night! I will never stay here again.
