Never again, but we survived

not a great area, the hotel next door had a guest room window broken out the last day of our stay. didn't have an iron in the room and couldn't get one from the front desk. Our room keys would work for a couple hours and never the next day and then when I finally got back to the room at 1am and my room key didnt work, there was no one at the desk and no number to call, just can't get in your room for the four hours you can sleep before having to get up for the next day. plus a $100 room deposit that they don't tell you about until you're there checking in, that takes 2-3 business days to be refunded. for a room you can't get into half the time, and that is so dirty when you get in there that you dont take your shoes off unless youre in bed, and we considered the shower. There was needle caps shoved in the tub drain that still let some water go down so we didnt touch it.. Overall, never again, but we survived

I didn’t even get out of my car because I was alone and scared. There were people EVERYWHERE in the parking lot. Sitting on cars, blasting music, riding their bikes all around, approaching other vehicles. There were also 3 smashed up cars in the parking lot. Didn’t look like a safe area at all! Didn’t stay here, got a different hotel.

It was a motel experience. Cleanliness was below average. Service was subpar and the room didn’t have a fresh smell to it. I needed a cheap room for the night and I got what I paid for.

There's not much to like. Its not very clean. Constant sktechty people outside. Horrible TV channels / no cable. Their WiFi is incredibly low speed and signal strength. Theres a lot of parting going on in rooms. Shower doesnt drain properly, and shower head sprays water from the back stonger than the actual water that splashes you, due to the crack, which was just duct taped. Every single receptacle was damage and almosy coming out the wall. The microwave didnt work. And to top it off, it's NOT cheap. If I didnt get placed there from my company, I wouldve NEVER picked this place. I WOULD NEVER BRING CHILDREN HERE. I stayed twice, for 4 days each week.

Horrible Red Roof

You have maybe 5 channels that come in clear. The WiFi is incredibly slow. The room telephone doesn't work. The shower doesnt drain properly, and the shower head is cracked so it sprays from it. It's way to expensive for this kind of quality
