Water pipe must have busted because they have buckets collecting water in the kitchen and hallway none of the security doors lock you just walk into the building! Key cards deactivated every time you need to use it. my room was never cleaned I asked for towels and they acted as if that was wrong of me. I was told I would get a receipt at check out for my deposit and the soda I purchased at the counter however that wasn’t true I was told I would get my deposit back in 24 hrs and it’s been 60 but no deposit in my account they have terrible customer service you ask them a question and they get frustrated never answer the question and just say okay, over all I’d give it a -10

The worst motel I have ever stayed at in my life.

Arrived at 2am, tweakers hanging out in front of our room going door to door knocking on doors. Smoke alarm next door beeping like it needed a new battery, 3 different lights had bulbs burned out, toilet seat and bathroom floor sticky and smelled of urine. I went to take a shower and drain was stopped up so bathtub filled up above my ankles. Rated Good on Hotels.com but should have been rated terrible.

Issues with room card not being properly set up. Had to go back to the front desk to have it deactivated on the second evening. Remote control for the TV was worthless! Only turned the TV on and off. Only way to change channels was to stand by TV and change channels on back of TV. Also no listing of available channels on TV or available in the room.
