Always had to wait for any kind of service at the main desk - no one there and the door was locked. Room was OK but not many amenities and the shower curtain was moldy.

There was an actual physical key (not a coded key) so we didn’t feel safe. It was super hot and the air conditioner didn’t work at all. We had to open a window just to get any air flow which made us feel even more unsafe. There is no night attendant on duty. The bathroom floor was in horrid shape. Free wi-fi is advertised but doesn’t work. By far the worst hotel experience we have ever had.

Room was not clean. No curtains and hole in one blind next to bed. One of two heat units did not work. One of two beds appeared to have been slept in. Towels were still in wrapper from Walmart and obviously not clean. Numerous holes in walls and bathroom door. No chain lock on either outside door. Dead bolts opened by key from outside. Dirty sock on floor from prior customer. What appeared to be vomit in one sink. Other sink did not drain. We slept with clothing on top of bed and were not not brave enough to try shower. This place should not be operating.

If my husband would have been with me, l KNOW he Would NOT have stayed in this room !! I have never been disappointed in your hotels, but this one should be removed from your list !! It was late, and l didn’t want to look for somewhere else.. The picture on hotel.com showed a Very Nice Room. I’m sending pictures of the actual rooms. There was NOT a closet or dresser, Not Even a waste basket, the bathroom fixtures were old with a dirty toilet and bleach stained towels !! The bed was almost to the floor, no boxspring, and only 2 Very Thin pillows!! The door opens to the outside sidewalk, and the safety chain was missing, but it had a deadbolt. The TV didn’t work, but the owner reset it. The only good part, l could walk to a restaurant to eat. When l checked out at 8AM, the office door was locked, so I couldn’t talk to them, left key in a slot box..

Property was trashy in a bad neighborhood. Rooms were full of people by the weeks or months. Lawn chairs, bicycles, grills and garbage outside of the doors and stairways. This should not be labeled as a hotel/motel. No onsite staff and the rooms were not cleaned, inspected, or beds made up. DO NOT STAY HERE. It is a refuge not a hotel/motel.

The rooms do not have a tv remote as they require a deposit for the remote; I had to call the front desk and she came to turn off the tv which was on when I arrived. I wasn't going to watch and was leaving early so didn't want to do the deposit. During the night the tv would randomly turn on & off by itself. Totally annoying.

We arrived a little after 5pm. We rang the call buzzer 3x without a response. However, no one was present to check us in, so we waited outsde for a 15 minutes waiting for someone to return, but no luck. Therefore, we decided it was time to leave.
