Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Avoid at all costs. Filthy property, filthy check-in area, absolutely filthy room. Mold and grime on the walls, ceiling panels falling out and cracked walls/tiles, floor laminate peeling and bubbling up all over, water damage all over. The AC unit's cord did not reach the socket, and when I used my own power cord it didn't work anyway. There was a half smoked cigarette between the mattress and box spring that already had unchanged sheets on them, in a non-smoking room. All of the furniture was in bad shape, only spotted one cockroach in my room and luckily no bed bugs but I witnessed enough other angry patrons storming back to their cells loaded with poison. There is a sign at the desk specifically absolving the staff of responsibility for lost valuables due to forced break ins, a car was left on rocks in the lot during my stay and I'm pretty sure I witnessed an almost violent domestic dispute. Staff was distant and clearly didn't care about anything, and I don't know what the housekeeping lady was doing... clearly not housekeeping, if my room was anything to go off of. Awful, trashy "hotel." I have never felt more unsafe and motivated to get out of somewhere in my life so far.

The room was horrendous. Bed spread had holes,roaches,dirty walls, half ass repairs. When I asked for clean towels. The ones I received was stained. I've been there before but wasn't bad. The only thing decent was the bed.

I never knew a room could ever be in such terrible conditions.. this was the nastiest room I’ve have ever booked. This place should be CLOSED. Guys please take my word when I say do not book here. Most unsanitary conditions I’ve ever seen. I felt so uncomfortable in this room I had to book a different hotel in the SAME hour & was told I would get a refund from NICK (the owner/manager) for how disgusting this place was. When it came time to refund me, NICK at the front desk denied my request. He did not honor it. He played games with me acting as if the issue was on the third party end of things. When in reality he just kept denying the refund. But Thank god I did booked through a third party and they were okay with taking the loss on my behalf & accommodating me. But if you book , you will want to leave this place as well & you will be scammed out of your money for not wanting to be in the living conditions that they have. You will thank me later.
