Great value for the money

Nothing fancy. They had a pool, but it was drained. They had ice machine, which is always good that function. But it was clean and quiet and everything worked. It was $25 for our dog not $20 like we thought was advertised. The only negative I think would be all of the beer bottles caps in the parking lot.

Neighbor next door kept me awake all night yelling racial slurs and when we went to the desk to place a noise complaint the staff were anything but helpful plus the dirty bed sheets and towels and a wet spot on the floor and the entire place smells like cigarette smoke and the parking lot has more beer caps then it has grains of sand

Do not waste your money by staying at this place. We ended up leaving an hour after check-in because the place was noisy and we felt unsafe.

This place should be condemned. Its about as sanitary and safe as a homeless encampment with all the characters to go with it. sleeping in my car in a better part of town was a much better option. Expedia claims refunds are up to hotel even though you book through them and hotel says they cant refund because you booked through expedia. Who's protecting the consumer from this? I really hope expedia does the right thing here because hotel worker will look at you with a baffled look and say in a confused tone..."You dont like your room? What is wrong with it?

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Genuinely the most disgusting place I’ve ever stayed. Stains on everything, bugs in the shower, smelled like cigarettes, open outlets on the wall. Cigarette butts under the bed. Very surprised there were not bed begs, and both of us refused to shower or sit on the toilet after ten hours of driving straight. Absolutely a safety hazard, I would report this place if it wasn’t housing for people who couldn’t afford rent anywhere else. Shelter for the homeless is the only reason I’m not officially making it a problem. However, for anyone who is not homeless or doesn’t have somewhere better to stay, just sleep in your car. I promise it will be better than this place.

Absolutely terrible. Worst experience ever. Mattresses in the pool so couldn’t use. The rooms were absolutely filthy. No way I’d take my shoes off let alone sleep in the yellow tinged sheets. Worst hotel I’ve been to and refused to give our money back when we cancelled. Owner won’t reply to emails or phone calls. Save your money.

This place is a bio hazard. There were blood and urine stains on the mattresses and sheets. The phone had a weird crust on it. There was a dried blood pool around the corridor door. There was a bullet on the ground next to my car. We reserved 2 rooms, but after encountering the smell of rotting decay and the chemical smell of God knows what, we got our money back. Because there was a wrestling tournament in Fargo we couldn't find any accommodations at the last minuit, so we had to drive 2 more hours after driving 14 hours already. The people hanging around were the unsavory type and people were openly doing drugs in the parking lot and stair well. The window was broken in one room and in the other there was a smaller TV in front of a larger broken TV. Anywho, Do NOT stay here if you have an ounce of self respect. The only thing to help this place is to burn it down. Seriously, the department of health needs to shut this joint down.

AVOID! This place is a train wreck! It smells horrible – a combination of urine and cigarette smoke and general filth! Outside the property was filthy, lots of trash, and a general feeling of unsafe. The interior was worse and needs to be gutted. None of the vending machines were working or stocked, the pool is empty, Mattresses laying onto the pool deck stacked 4 to 5 high, urine stains in the carpet with a general deep smell of urine, smoke, and body odor. Do not stay here! There were several people hanging around the property that seemed to have issues so it felt generally unsafe. If I could give this zero stars I would. This property needs to be completely gutted and redone. It’s absolutely filthy! We arrived very late the first night and did not have alternative options. We left the following day and I am hoping Expedia can refund my second night. This is a zero star property.
