Ember, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The sink was broken & leaked everywhere? the room smelt of cigarettes despite it being a non smoking room. the stairwell smelt like urine so bad that every time we went up and down we had to hold our breath. it took 5-6 hours for staff to come upstairs to fix our tv & once they did, you cannot change the channel
Emma, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was better than I expected
Dianne, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Locks are broken. Pin pad door instead of key card. Burn holes in comforter. Holes in the walls. Tub is moldy.
Emily, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Well the microwave doesn’t work very good and seems to be a little loose and the room isn’t very clean
Penny, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful Stay

It was really amazing. The staff was very friendly and open. The room was nice. It was a budget hotel but rather nice for one. Definitely ask for more pillows next time though.
Marcus, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Tucked away behind some other buildings and a little hard to find. Very inexpensive, but the room was clean, and really, that's aIl I wanted..
Steven M., 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

This was one of the dirtiest properties I have been to. I understand that you get what you pay for, but under the sink in my room was dirty, my bathroom had nails coming out of the sink and the trim was coming off of the wall in the sleeping area. The people working at the desk weren’t very friendly, either. We only stayed knowing it was only a few hours until we left. Our “key” was a sliver of paper with our room number and the keypad code handed to us. There were no deadbolts or chains on the door, so we used our ironing board for additional safety. The bathroom door was splitting. We left around 8 or 9am and never heard or saw cleaning staff. The front desk gave us no direction to find our room or offer information as to where the best area would be to move our vehicles to ensure we parked closer to our room. The doors to enter and exit were not protected with a key, so it lacked the safety.
Katlin, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It is a super low budget hotel and is just as expected. Staff was friendly though and that is saying a lot considering some of the issues they have to deal with.
Drake, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I woke Saturday morning to watch mice run in the room. I immediately left.
Rolando, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

For the most part all was ok. But the wedding reception in the party room with music blasting into the wee hours of the morning. Was easily 5:00 am before it ended.
Mark, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Very run down property. Sink clogged, exterior doors unsecure, mouse droppings in the room, marijuana smells in the non smoking area, lots of suspicious activity in the parking lot.
Thomas J, 6-night trip

2/10 Poor

The listing shows a hot tub in king bed room in multiple pics, for $55, which is why I chose. Called front desk after arrival and told for room in pics, it would be $130. False advertising!

4/10 Fair

It is a scary place. Needs a lot of work!!
Michael, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

So the rooms shown on the photos are not what they actually look like, also they have ROACHES and men that try to proposition you not a safe clean stay
Smoke Detector
Ceiling
Hinges on the room door
border missing
Riunita, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Avoid, not worth even the low cost

Don’t stay. Black mold in shower, very uncomfortable mattress, creepy, run down, heard other guests complaining about dirty room upon check in, smelled like smoke, staff didn’t seem like they knew what they were doing.

2/10 Poor

Nasty
Tyler, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Rather sleep in my car

Lobby looked nice and clean. Room was horrible. Buhs bugs bugs. Roaches were crawling in plain view. There dead bugs smashed on the wall of the shower. I literally checked in and out in 5 minutes.
Tywan, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Gave me the wrong room and had roaches had no control over their parking
