2/10 Terrible

Rooms werent clean, inside smells like mold, dirty toilet paper, flies in room, our bed sheets were dirty with sand and dirt, stayed 4 nights and couldnt get refund to go somewhere else.. i wanna say paranormal activity were in the happenings as we had drawers fly open and bottles of Gatorade were flying off the entertainment center.. room does not come with a bible either. Do not stay here.

Air conditioner leaks water on the floor inside. Shower was dirty. Floor was dirty. Exhaust fan in the bathroom didn't work people arguing in the hallway
Dean, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

We didn’t even feel safe enough to stay here, we left after someone kept watching us and waited outside our door!!! We didn’t even go in the room! We only needed to stay here one night to sleep and got it because it was cheap and every other hotel was almost 200$ for one night. Trust me pay the 200$ for any other place than here!
Mauricio, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Just the right room for the right price.

Just a quick get away for overnight date night.

Had to ask them to change sheets and I haven’t received my deposit back yet
Dorrel, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Even though the price is temping, do NOT stay here. Our room stank of smoke. There was paint peeling off the walls, and the hallways looked like a warehouse or jail. The bathroom was moldy, the floor was cracked and uneven, and the area and hotel felt dangerous. I left the hotel before even sleeping here because I was concerned my car would get keyed. There’s not even anyone staying here to begin with, and the parking lot was mostly empty. I think everyone gets the idea that this hotel and neighborhood are both beyond saving. Now all we need is for the hotel to go out of business and get demolished for everyone’s good. Do NOT stay here whatever you do.

**DO NOT STAY IN THIS PLACE** The whole place smells like a strange mixture between drvgs and vomit. The door didn't close from the inside and not to mention the bathroom, which was full of mold. The shower had white particles that we didn't know what it was about. We were only there the time necessary to find a better place to stay. We would NEVER go back.
Celeste, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

When we first got to the room it was fine until we opened the fridge to find mold growing in there. After that i proceded to take a shower only to realize that the walls had curly little hairs all over it. I took a washcloth and wiped down the walls the white washcloth then became black. It makes me wonder if they clean how they are supposed to or just do a quick reset. I underatand this is a cheaper establishment, but its still unacceptable.
Nicole, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

I asked for a second set of sheets to lay on the bed because i was pretty sure mine were dirty and was told they didn't have any but they had large towels I could use. TV remote didn’t have batteries and my shower didn't get warm. Otherwise friendly staff, easy check-in and convenient for the price.

The young lady at the front desk was lovely!
Martha, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

It has been remodeled somewhat recently. No carpeting in the room, no towel bars in the bathroom for hand towels. Very basic in extras. It did have a refrigerator and microwave, but no coffee maker, hair dryer, luggage rack, closet, or safe that i saw. When you arrive and check-in, you then drive around to rhe closest door to your room to go in. Using your room key to open the outside door to get into the building, the key card unlocked the door, but the door stuck so we thought it didn't unlock until a 3rd try and had to pull with a lot of effort to get the door to open... same with the room door, shut and opened very hard. The rooms bathroom had a mildew smell and the stand up shower had cracked and chipped tiles in it. The bed was comfortable. Seemed new and new bed frame. Not wooden. The room had this dirty laminate floor, no carpet or rugs. I regretted not bringing some slippers to have on in the room. So it felt kinda cold, not inviting or warm to be in. Overall, it was exactly what i figured for the money. We get what we paid for. A place to rest at leaat.

Not a bad place for the price. If you are looking for a place to sleep for the night with no bells and whistles, this will work!
