Was not a good experience. They had issues with the WiFi for three days straight. Key cards would have to be reset constantly. Had to wait in the lobby to have my key card reset for 30 minutes cause no one was at the desk. During my checkout the same thing no one at the desk and another 20-30 minute wait. The ice machines not working on any of the floors just the first floor. You feel the ac doesn’t cool all areas of the hotel. My lamp shade was broken in my room.

We have stayed here multiple times and never had a problem. However on our last stay our vehicle was broken into not once but twice…twice in the same stay. First time they stole all our tools, tool box and a ladder and the second time they stole our handgun that was locked in our vehicle. The staff are super sweet and accommodating. They did get us the camera footage of the first incident and apologized a million times. But we will not be stay here again.

It’s bare bones basic. It’s safe, staff is friendly. Breakfast needs improvement. Even some yogurt would be nice! It’s all carbs. Hotel property is in need of some TLC- it’s a bit old. The alarm clock in my room didn’t work. Parking is free and easy which is nice. If you’re looking for a safe, very very basic place to crash that is clean, this is your place.

Do not book at this hotel, my truck was stolen at 3 in the morning on November 4th... I had to leave that hotel out of fear and the manager still has not returned my money when I had booked 5 nights and only stayed 1; I found my truck in that house and I found it without parts. I am sure that there are accomplices in the hotel. I am leaving evidence so that you can see that you should be very careful when booking at this hotel.

MOST COMFORTABLE BED EVER. Thats one way to win. Evening desk person lifted something for me, because I had surgery & couldnt lift... very helpful, friendly. -- I got a smile out of the morning desk lady, after a minute, but she ended up being very helpful and nice. Bathtub was awesome-- very relaxing, very clean, very comfy. You cannot help the urban decay infesting all American cities, but your parking lot is well lit- thanks. It was a much needed great night's sleep & friendly, nice experience.

The staff here are awesome! They made sure everything was great even when we had to extend our stay two times due to work. They cleaned the room when asked and were always professional. Breakfast is great, parking was roomy and we felt safe staying there. My wife and two daughter felt safe walking alone and staying in the room alone. 10 out of 10 would recommend! We have booked with them multiple times now.

I think it’s a great place for short Family trips, neice was sad because the outdoor pool was closed due to rain weather for the weekend we sent. The staff are nice and I wouldn’t mind staying here again. It’s also not far from many food places or shopping places.

Almost everything is broken. Beds, doors, vents, coffee machine, headboards, chairs, lamp shades, fridge, etc. Duvet covers are stained. Walls between rooms are thick and insulated, blocking noise, but the same can't be said for the ceilings or the exterior walls, making it very loud. I'm very itchy and sore after sleeping in these rock hard beds so there might be something to the reviews claiming there are bed bugs. No vending machines in the vending area. Staff doesn't seem to really want to be here. No protein available for breakfast. Cannot recommend. I will never stay here again.

Was expecting a better room given the reviews and the $150 price tag. the walls were gross with dated water damage, faded paints, chipped appliances, small bathroom that looked like it was 50 years old, and an odd smell. Not holding the odd smell against them as the area is recovering from a hurricane - but everything else seemed like the problems have been lingering for years. Room 302, 3rd floor.

Property was good. Stayed for one night after a night out. Room was great but some area dirty. The curtains had stains all over them, looking like blood or some type of red/brown stain. The door to our room had a broken safety latch which was a bit concerning but luckily the deadbolt was just fine i guess. The biggest disappointment overall was the breakfast. Only waffles, no type of protein, etc. I’d give it a 7/10 overall for our one night stay. Great front desk gentleman.

The bed was hard with little square throw pillows that made sleep impossible. The duvet was filthy, and the towels were also soiled. The carpet has several huge stains. But the shower floor was grimy. The shower wall is separating from the sheetrock, with a lot of bad water damage exposing structure of the ceiling. I understand the humidity problems, but paint was curled up and peeling from the bathroom trim around the door. All the metal lamps and fire suppression nozzles were rusted. I'm not sure if breakfast was even offered, because I didn't trust the cleaning standards of the room... We will not stay here again, even though we have started at Sleep Inns elsewhere. This was pretty had

Room size was the most liked. But the interiors are very old. Very dim light. Bathrooms are very old. For a quick visit and stay for a day or so, this is fine. Wifi support was not there before.. i need to spend time to call and get that resolved. Housekeeping need to be given pruor notice bwfoee 12 PM dailh of they need to clean up the room. This was not informed. We were thinking they will come but came to know this caveat later.

The staff ran my debit card for the incidental fee, and he told me the machine was messing up that day. I have plenty on my debit card, and after 45 minutes of being dismissed, other customers taken in from of me while they were supposed to be working on my issue, I had to find another hotel. They said they cancelled my booking, but they told Expedia the next day that they will not refund THEIR MISTAKE. I will be taking further action.

It was a great stay! Rooms were well maintained and no issues with anything regarding our rooms. One of the rooms the water temperature for the shower was off and it was a little rough getting the right temperature but otherwise it was good. The only complaint that I have is our check in. The lady who checked us in was just plain rude. We must have woke her up from her nap because she looked upset. It was late at night so I’m sure she was asleep. She was very rude, she acted like she didn’t want to check us in and like she was mad. I didn’t get her name but I wish I did so I can put her out on blast! Other than that, the stay was great!
