Terrible-filthy, dirty, washer under repair and so no spare towels, room floor dirty, room had ketch up spills, walls spoiled with dirt , sheets torn, blankets have holes, breakfast promised as per reservation but not provided as the new franchise removed it . Expedia however said they will reimburse the breakfast with receipts. Unable to sleep as noisy outside with swearing in and they have to call police. No safe drinking water, impolite counter staff-Anthony one example, request for room change and cleaning not attended. Overall the worst place in America we have ever lived.

The customer Service was horrible. This room was on the 3rd floor with no elevator. My fiancé has a heart condition and we asked for a room on the 1st floor. We were told we can't get a room on the 1st floor and we struggled to lugging suitcases to the 3rd floor. We don't advise middle or upper class customers to stay here. Nothing against homeless people but this hotel is used for emergency housing assistance.

Door to room didn’t shut entirely. Burn marks all over floor. Furniture looked like it came from a dumpster. Toilet didn’t flush completely and there was sh*t in the toilet. Smoke alarm kept beeping and there wasn’t a battery in it. Room smelled like cigarette/marijuana. Didn’t stay in the room. Checked out immediately.

I walked into the room. The room was dirty. Furniture was old and dirty. A lamp had no bulb. There was a razor blade on the bathroom floor. Loose change throughout the room which tells me it was not cleaned. There was a smoke smell in the room. The place is a “no smoking” room. I have called both the hotel and Expedia and would like a refund. The place was filthy and felt unsafe. It is hard to believe they are renting out rooms in the filthy state it was in.

Most disgusting hotel room ive ever been in. Im staying here for the 3rd weekend in a row on a work trip. The rooms are not nice but i wanted a cheap place so i rolled with it. But this time it was disgusting. I was in the same room i was in last week. I checked on around 9:50 (they close the office at 10) i went and got food and came back. The office was closed. I checked into my room to find a sink full of filthy water with hair and a dead spider in it. The kitchen sink was leaking dirty brown water. The toilet seat is coming off. Also there was no toilet paper. I worked at 12 hour shift came back and the office was open. I told the lady at the desk about an hour ago. Nothing has been done, no refund or anything offered. I brought up a room change and she said there wasnt anything other than a room that smelled like smoke. Absolutely disgusting and no one cares. I travel often and this is the worst room experience i have ever had. I have pictues

My room was filthy, trash (an entire old bag) was left in a cabinet under the stove, which was dirty. The drawers had filth, the bathroom, etc. Now to the bed... the bedding was obviously not cleaned after the last guest: there were stains, as well as other things. The lady at the desk (who seemed to take it jovial), told me that in order for me to have clean linen: I'd have to handle, to bring the soiled linen to the office myself. I am not pleased at all with this place.

Air conditioning was not great. Sheets and comforter were damp as if not dry when made. Roaches were visible within room. Dead and alive. There was no coffee pot or complimentary coffee as website described. One night stay and had to ask for toiletries which were supposed to be in the room.

This was the most disgusting room i have ever stayed in and i travel very frequently. I checked in around 9:45 pm. They close their office at 10. I went to grab some food. So when i got back the office was closed. I walked into the room to find the bathroom sink full of gross water with hair and a dead spider. There was brown water pooling out of the kitchen sink. The toilet seat was broken off and there was no toilet paper. I had to work early so i didn't have time for the off site person to show up and help. I went to work and stopped by the office. I was told someone would clean it. I was told the only other room smelled like smoke. Hours later someone finally showed up. I was eventually given a new room. I was 3 roaches in the 2 nights. I would have left but as i work 12 hour shifts i just toughed it out cause i only sleep there. I had this place booked for 7 more weekends. Obviously i am canceling that and am seeking a refund for the first night

Check-in was pleasant. Room was supposed to be smoke free but reeked of cigarette smoke. Bed was clean and comfortable. Toilet seat was loose and falling off the toilet, a hazard and hotel room itself was acceptable for laying your head down for the night but outside of the room was dirty and unkempt.

First off, supposed to be a non smoking facility. I get checked in as soon as I open my room got smacked in the face with heavy smoke smell! Bathroom door was missing door knob and has hole from being kicked in! Lady at desk was nice enough for me to switch rooms. We checked another room was still smoky. Checked a 3rd room was okay however heard all the highway noise. Also felt unsafe there. Decided to just leave and go sleep in the car somewhere far from there. Grounds was filthy with used condoms in parking lot!

Thats what i get for going with the cheapest option. Seemed like a drug hotel. The walls seemed paper thin and i could clearly hear someone vomiting. The room smelled like cigarettes which i cannot stand and did not want all my clothes to take on the odor. The door was barely on the frame. I didn't feel safe leaving anything in my room or car. Left and ended up getting a room at Tru. One positive was the lady at the desk was nice.

An emergency stay during Hurricane Helene power outage. Amazingly helpful and supportive staff and manager. They were pulling out all the stops to accommodate storm refugees and turn over rooms as fast as possible. It was nice to be able to walk to Riverbanks Zoo, and a Waffle House and 7-11 store right across the street made it easy and cheap to get outside as soon as weather permitted.

Expedia however said they will reimburse the breakfast with receipts. Unable to sleep as noisy outside with swearing in and they have to call police. No safe drinking water, impolite counter staff-Anthony one example, request for room change and cleaning not attended. Overall the worst place in America we have ever lived.

The customer Service was horrible. This room was on the 3rd floor with no elevator. My fiancé has a heart condition and we asked for a room on the 1st floor. We were told we can't get a room on the 1st floor and we struggled to lugging suitcases to the 3rd floor. We don't advise middle or upper class customers to stay here. Nothing against homeless people but this hotel is used for emergency housing assistance.

Terrible!!! I was in town for a football game and didn't leave the stadium until after midnight. I get to the property and the lobby was closed, I called the after hours number and no answer, but I received a call back that only rung once, so someone saw and got the call, after multiple attempts to call again they're was no answer. I had to find other accommodations for the night, which was not easy. Never again!!!

What made our stay good was a person. Her name is Shiela. She was the front desk person, and was super busy, but went out of her way to make our stay comfortable. She got us two chairs because there were none in the room, brought us dishes even though she was slammed with people checking in, and in short, seemed to really care about our stay (unlike other Extended Stays we have visited). The maintenance in the room was poor (broken drawer, shelf without brace, etc.), and the cleanliness so- so (they were shorthanded that day, so perhaps that was the reason), but Sheila was amazing. Kudos to her!!!

This was the most disgusting room i have ever stayed in and i travel very frequently. I checked in around 9:45 pm. They close their office at 10. I went to grab some food. So when i got back the office was closed. I walked into the room to find the bathroom sink full of gross water with hair and a dead spider. There was brown water pooling out of the kitchen sink. The toilet seat was broken off and there was no toilet paper. I had to work early so i didn't have time for the off site person to show up and help. I went to work and stopped by the office. I was told someone would clean it. I was told the only other room smelled like smoke. Hours later someone finally showed up. I was eventually given a new room. I was 3 roaches in the 2 nights. I would have left but as i work 12 hour shifts i just toughed it out cause i only sleep there. I had this place booked for 7 more weekends. Obviously i am canceling that and am seeking a refund for the first night

None of these ratings apply except for friendliness of staff, as my reservation was cancelled before i ever showed up to the hotel. Staff was very friendly and apologetic at the hotel. I got to the property and staff advised they could not honor my reservation due to flooding. I did not have a problem with this, as i am aware that accidents occur. Hotels.com called me as i was walking into the hotel office. I missed the call because i left my phone in the car while going to check in. They also sent me an email advising that my reservation could not be accomodated. When i called hotels.com back, to inquire about my refund, i was told they can't see any such email. They offer key cash for the amount of my reservation. I asked for a refund to my credit card instead of key cash and was told it would take up to 72 hours so they could confirm with the hotel that my cancellation was legit and not my fault. I am still waiting for a response.

Set by the interstate, the property is convenient to Riverbanks Zoo for some but brings noticeable road noise. Several guests felt the area and on site environment were uncomfortable or unsafe.

This was the worst place we have ever seen!!!! The description and pictures provided did not even come close to being accurate. Our non smoking reeked of cigarette smoke and the smoked detector was removed from ceiling. I guess if you needed to buy some drugs, you didn't need to go far, there are dealers right out in the parking lot. Avoid this place like the plague!

First off, supposed to be a non smoking facility. I get checked in as soon as I open my room got smacked in the face with heavy smoke smell! Bathroom door was missing door knob and has hole from being kicked in! Lady at desk was nice enough for me to switch rooms. We checked another room was still smoky. Checked a 3rd room was okay however heard all the highway noise. Also felt unsafe there. Decided to just leave and go sleep in the car somewhere far from there. Grounds was filthy with used condoms in parking lot!

When I pulled up I was scared to get out of my car. The area was dark and set in trees and they were random people standing around in the trees and on the side walk. The building was run down and nasty looking. I left did not even check in.

Typical extended stay motel. Room smelled of past cooking, property dirty, room needed to be vacuumed and mopped. Next to interstate so very noisy. Pros: staff were friendly. Would not likely stay here again, price is cheap, and in this case you get what you paid for.

An emergency stay during Hurricane Helene power outage. Amazingly helpful and supportive staff and manager. They were pulling out all the stops to accommodate storm refugees and turn over rooms as fast as possible. It was nice to be able to walk to Riverbanks Zoo, and a Waffle House and 7-11 store right across the street made it easy and cheap to get outside as soon as weather permitted.

The location of the property wasn’t in a good place. The property rents lower cost for those who stay longer and the tenants smoke in front of their rooms, making the property stink. There wasn’t shower curtain in the bathroom. The towels weren’t washed but was folded up. The office closes early (9pm), probably they are short in staff. I accidentally booked this place as I was passing by, don’t make the same mistake.

Dirty, unclean and unsanitary. Actually found another persons garbage under the bed. Slept with the bed against the door because of the unsavory characters outside all night long. Terrible and will never go back

Terrible-filthy, dirty, washer under repair and so no spare towels, room floor dirty, room had ketch up spills, walls spoiled with dirt , sheets torn, blankets have holes, breakfast promised as per reservation but not provided as the new franchise removed it . Expedia however said they will reimburse the breakfast with receipts. Unable to sleep as noisy outside with swearing in and they have to call police. No safe drinking water, impolite counter staff-Anthony one example, request for room change and cleaning not attended. Overall the worst place in America we have ever lived.

Air conditioning was not great. Sheets and comforter were damp as if not dry when made. Roaches were visible within room. Dead and alive. There was no coffee pot or complimentary coffee as website described. One night stay and had to ask for toiletries which were supposed to be in the room.

False advertising. No breakfast included. Ever. Then on 2-26 they took away the free coffee in the lobby. Staff was a true blessing. Bed was comfortable. Definitely needs updated.

Overall average experience. I had high hopes based on other reviews, however the room was not well cleaned (sponge left on top of the mirror, food product in the kitchenette, hole through the bathroom door) and guests were shouting well into the night. Pleasantly surprised by a grab-and-go breakfast. Very close proximity to the Pearson VUE testing center, but overall would not recommend to others planning a stay to take their exams.
