This property shows a lack of management. The managers need to spend more time inspecting rooms. Our first night, in the bathroom the ceiling was cracked, moldy, and falling down; the fridge didn’t work, and leg was broken off; the smoke detector chirped every 10 seconds; the gap between the floor and door that led to another room was so big we could see peoples feet as the walked in their room. This hotel could be nice but in it’s current condition and with the lack of management care, I would not stay there again.

You get what you pay for

You absolutely get what you pay for. We paid $100 for two queen size beds. Bathroom was absolutely dated/unkept and dirty. Furniture in main area was dirty and surfaces were not properly cleaned.

So gross

This place is soooo gross. Our room didn’t have a comforter, shower curtain, coffee maker, dirty non-swept floors, flickering light in bathroom, overall disgusting. We were put in a different room that wasn’t much better. For the price go somewhere else!!!

The front desk ladies were very kind and friendly. The beds, and mirrors were the only things clean. The floors were very dirty and the carpet was ragged and frayed. The bathroom and entry floor hadn’t been swept or mopped. The sink counter had mold around the seams. There was no shower curtain. The tub had several hairs and dirty shoe prints. There were pieces of hardware missing. The walls and cabinets were splattered and dirty. The microwave was unsafe to use. It was broken inside. We were late to get to our military graduate and weren’t able to get anything else. I don’t think I’ve ever spend so much money on a hotel and the room be so dirty and unkept. The area around the hotel did not seem safe. There was noise all night. The breakfast was nice and clean.

I should have heeded the warnings of the other reviews. It smelled like "natural herbs" as soon as i walked in. I know you can't control who your guests are but i think the hotel and area attracts a certain type. I felt like i was at a halfway house.

No bugs but very dirty

Building and room was very dirty. Service was ok, only one staff member seemed moody all other staff were very friendly. Not a terrible experience but probably won't choose this hotel during future trips due to the lack of cleanliness. I had photos to upload but it won't let me add them.

Never will I book this hotel again! The hotel room was dirty upon arrival and the entire hotel smell horribly of marijuana. I had to ask for the shower curtain and towels as they were not provided in the room. I also had to buy air fresheners and cleaning products to make the room decent enough for my complete stay. Such a horrible experience with cleanliness and sanitation. The staff was polite and that was about the only good thing about it.
