The place is a dump. I checked in, when to the room, walked out and left. I didnt stay there. I didnt even ask for a refund. It looked like those people need the money more than i did. There were no lights on anywhere other than Christmas lights in the lobby. Several broke down cars in the parking lot. Trash in the room.

Unacceptable

Room looked to be up to par, the tv took some figuring out and the bed frames are loud. Upon pulling back sheets and blankets we found a bed bug in the blankets and on the bed.

It was not at all like the website or what hotel.com advertised. No restaurant on site the building were falling apart. Mold in bathroom ceiling.the whole place looks like abandoned building.it smelled musty like a old basement. I booked this by the wonderful looks on hotel.com/website what a joke.i am very unhappy.they should have paid me to stay there. I will not use hotel.com again they must not check there properties before they show them on there website. Hated my stay and I will not recommend this place it my worst enemy.

The hotel was extremely dated cleanliness was at a bare minimum the staff was rude if you were even able to find them. I have stayed in a lot of cheap hotels but by far in my opinion this had to be the worst.
