The rooms were falling apart and filthy. The pool was so cloudy and had stuff floating in it. The keys didn’t work and the clerk tried to blame me for holding the key too close to my phone. I had to go to the office and change them out twice. Then I called to say I wasn’t going to go back up there, he sent a resident with another key that didn’t work. Needless to say we cut our stay short, Don’t bring your family here.

Surprise $25 fee at check in with no explanation. Staff was too busy on her cell phone with her friend to answer any questions. Room is filthy. Disgusting. Afraid to even sit down in my clothes. Do not by any means stay here. Room smells like musty cigarette smoke, with air fresheners shoved into the in unit A/C to haphazardly mask the smell. Horrible property.

no frills, you get exactly what you paid for

The staff was nice and really trying. That why i gave it 3 stars. Was it worth the $48 dollars i paid and not a dime more yes. Did my door look like it had been kicked in several times and i was about to star in an episode of the forensic files? Also yes. But i didn't get murdered

Kept a knife by me and propped up the door with a chair. Guy was watching us at night and telling us to watch our back and keep a gun on us. And heard yelling overnight. But you get what you get for 60$ a night

0 stars

This hotel should rate 0 stars. Very unkept. My room had a broken chair propped up on a wall so it wouldn’t fall over. Dangerous. Multiple stray cats hanging around because people are living on the back side of the hotel and are feeding them.

It was relatively quiet but the physical condition of the room was terrible. The furniture was very old and worn out and should have been replaced years ago. Wall repair and paint absolutely required. Also, roaches in the bathroom was a nice touch. If you have no choice for something else, fine. It's better than sleeping in your car.
