The fact that the hotel was opened to drug users and homeless people, and cars weren't safe on the property, we had water and leaking issues in the first room we purchased and had to switch to another one the inside of the rooms needs remodeling

The only thing I can say is that the room was clean. Otherwise, it was the most basic place I’ve stayed in in some years. Quite a surprise to find someplace like this in American. Door lock was broken, no toiletries (a few small soaps), threadbare towels, no clothes hangers, toilet roll holder broken, I could go on. Terrible value for money. If there was breakfast or wifi I couldn’t find either. The person at check in was very curt.

Ice machine outside had mold inside. Looked to not be cleaned in a many moons. No access to front desk. Had to use window like it was a drive thru. Room (104) had no smoke detector. One light wasn’t working near bed. Ceiling in bathroom was taped and covered with paint. Not enough towels. No coffee machine. No lid to ice bucket. Seem to be a place where Pimps would drop off women for prostitution purposes (none of my business- people have to eat).

After ordering online, The hotel was a lower quality than what I'm used to, the price was also lowered. I asked for a pool, I was very disaapointed to learn the pool next door was a separate scuba diving school. I hate how online orders trap you to take a reservation they chose, if U like it or not.

HORRIBLE experience. Our room had bedbugs and we had to leave and go to another hotel. The property refused to issue us a refund even though we didn't stay in the room.

The door would not lock. The bathroom door would not close. Cigarette burns on the comforters and the sheets had very obviously not been changed. I refused to stay here but was not given a refund. The area is very unsafe. People doing drugs outside and half naked women walking around. In the 10 minutes I was here someone tried breaking into my vehicle. On top of all this it’s very over priced.

The Staff was GREAT! The room was clean. The bed was not comfortable at all. The bed pillows were FLAT. So flat they looked like a sheet. I thought they were a little sheet at first glance. The air wasn’t central. It was a portable unit AC inside which didn’t cool the room at all. Overall a terrible place to stay.

TV did not work, people were inside the room making a transaction as we arrived, odd smell, dirty beds, people smoking right next to room, neighbors were very loud, room was not ready so we had to wait for an hour and my insulin expired. Spent whole day trying to get insulin for my diabetes. Did not even spend 30 minutes total in room. We decided to leave and they refused to refund. I will have to contact the Better Business Bureau.

I sincere believe Expedia should delist this property. I booked for 4 days, but only stayed 3. The manager lied that if I wanted a refund for 4th night he had to speak with Expedia account rep. There was never any house keeping provide. Room was supposed to be none smoking but smelled of stale tobacco. A large portion of this property in rented out long-term and people are coming and going and yelling and screaming all night long. Disgraceful place and management!

Though the businesses around this motel are upscale, this hotel is the worst place I have ever spent a night. Druggies were in the parking lot all evening and even at 4 am when we left for the airport. We barricaded ourselves into the room, and the one amenity in the room was a bar if soap. The bedspread was from the 1960’s and had multiple burn holes. The sheets were clean, but all I could think about was bed bugs, druggies, and lewd behaviors outside my door. Do not stay at this place!
