Dirty, old and outdated! Don't stay here!

This place was awful! Do not stay here! Old and outdated, dirty, and a very uncomfortable bed with crappy pillows. We striped the bed, used our travel sheets, blankets, and pillows since we knew ours was clean! Thank goodness we always bring our own, we just didnt trust this place! We definitely would have left but had an extremely long drive prior to arrival so we needed to somewhat rest. We should have slept in our vehicle, which we would have probably been more comfortable in! When morning came, I used the toilet which ended up backing up just by flushing, #1 not #2! Not maintaining issues cause backups! We started getting ready for our day, showered which tub doesnt drain (yuck) and then we hear knocking at the door shortly after 7am from the housekeeping! Check out is not until 11am so no need to bother guests until you know they are gone or after the allotted check out time! So very rude of them! Dont stay here period! This place needs to be knocked down and rebuilt or completely gutted and start fresh. Just horrible! And don't bring kids here! Dirty needles in the parking lot and nasty condom was near the grass that was separating the street to room. I would never again stay here for any reason!

From checkin in to our stay it was all horrible. The checkin process makes you feel like the area is unsafe and completed behind a glass door. The place is not well kept, our room was dirty, the tv rarely worked, the bathroom fan was filthy, rust everywhere in the bathroom, holes in the bathroom door and the door knob was falling off bathroom door. The beds and pillows are old and uncomfortable. Will not be staying here ever again.

Poor maintenance

I was disappointed from the begging. The host told me to stand at the window instead of inviting me into the lobby. Next, the door handle was broken and that was a delay to get someone to teach me to open the broken door. Btw, if the handle broken then who would feel safe. Inside the room is in need of several repairs. The ceiling is peeling and falling, the tile is broken and missing pieces. The switch to the bathroom light and fan is broken and won't turn off so it ran constantly. Very noisy even with the door closed. I rarely leave poor reviews but the broken door handle and broken light switch are both safety issues. Watch YouTube videos to learn how to make these simple repairs. Better luck in the future...!!

Not the best but Melinda made it worth the stay

Roaches in my room which smelled of weed so strongly that I had to leave the door open, the AC unit on high and the bathroom ventilation on for hours. Melinda was excellent as she provided a cleaning product that cleared the weed smell after being applied. A can of disinfectant helped as well. Melinda was always making sure to check if anything was needed during my stay. She also helped with getting my brother's room ready as it hadn't been completed when expected at 2:30.

Stay away - Hotel of Horrors

This place must be shutting down because the owners have definitely given-up on the upkeep. I should have known when I checked in during the daytime and the lobby was not open. I had to check in at a window. The lobby was never open. This is a one-night stay and I almost left that same night. It was horrible! Here is the bullet list of reasons: > Weird smells. I brought in a scented candle to burn. > No working heat and temps in low 40's that night (owner brought in a portable heater that night that did the job) > Stained pillows & bed linens - you don't want details, trust me! > Only 1 cheap flat standard pillow per Queen bed > No extra blankets plus I really didn't want to use stained blanket on bed so I had to use a small fleece throw blanket i brought for a Christmas present. > Two cheap thin towels and no hand towels at all. > The only sink was clogged terribly with hair! The only good thing was there was hot water when I took a shower and that was a welcomed blessing. If I have to be in that area again, I'm not staying here or at any other hotel in the area.
