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).

Only thing really good was location to an event i was attending. Room was...ok. There was no trash can in the room, not even the bathroom, The $183 price wasn't reflective on what it turned out to be.

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.

We are sorry to hear about your comments but disagree with all of your untrue statements. First of all the television works perfectly fine as you were unable to use the remote in a proper fashion. Secondly the people in the room were the housekeeping staff getting the room ready for you. Thirdly the rooms near you are non smoking and the guest step out of the room to smoke the cigarettes. Finally your insulin should have been properly stored and is not the responsibility of the hotel.

This place is the perfect hotel where you won’t have at least a decent stay. Bed smelled pretty bad (cigarette smoke), bed bugs made me feel itchiness all over my body and the door didn’t have security lock I reserved two nights but I left that place early in the first morning of the stay. NEVER RECOMMENDED

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!
Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2023
Response from Shawn on 23 Feb 2023
We are sorry to hear about your comments. We have a great relationship with Expedia for 15 years that will continue to grow and prosper. The comments are not completely true as nothing was mentioned about housekeeping or tobacco odor. The room was a completely sanitized and smoke free room. The truth was that you were unsure about staying the 4th night. We would like to make it clear that management has always been truthful to there policies and responsibilities. There were no loud or yelling people at the property for any of the nights that you stayed as we have conducted a surveillance research that proves nothing of this sort. Your comments are from frustration but should not come towards our property.

Terrible value for money. Like a student hostel.
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.

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.

This was the worst most disgraceful property I have ever had to stay. And the reviews have been the same for six years – drug activity, cockroach infestation, prostitution, filthy old mattresses. We refused to even sleep in the bed. We laid a towel over the covers and slept in our clothes. We left at daylight.

This property is in an unsafe location! The room was filthy (used bandages, dirt, old food on the floor) and several broken items, including the deadbolt which was necessary in this area! The staff was uncooperative and actually hung up the phone when confronted with these issues. Additionally, trying to speak to a manager was impossible. We were told he would be on duty at 4p and when we called and 4:10p were told he had left for the day!!! This was truly THE WORST “hotel” experience we’ve ever had and we travel A LOT!

This hotel needs to be shut down!! The room was very dirty with no towels or soap. We arrived at 2:30am and the front desk associate was very rude and gave us a hard time. The bed frame was unsafe and cut one of my family members ankle because it was sticking out.. it wasn’t even a standard frame.. it looked like a piece of a car that was modified in some way.. refrigerator didn’t work and couldn’t get the TV to work.. this place is a dump!! Drug deals going on outside of our room. Security issues. This wasn’t our 1st choice because our other hotel room got canceled without notifications to us so we had to pick another one in a hurry. DO NOT STAY HERE!!
