The window was missing and it had a wood covering, the first room had live bugs crawling over and around AC unit...2nd room was beyond dirty and the sheet on the bed had stains everywhere, the toilet didn't flush and it looks like the room wasn't cleaned in a month....almost went to sleep in my car ...
I will never ever stay here again or tell my family to stay there as soon as I walked in roaches all over the room floor ran everywhere beds were dirty pillowcases were dirty walls were broken inside the room roaches droppings everywhere I waited outside cause it was late like 3:40 when I went in to check in and came right out room to look for other hotels near me I spent time outside looking and talking to family members who walked in my room to see how bad and dirty and roaches there was then I went back up and spoke to the guy if I could get another room and he said no because it took me awhile to go back up o told him I was looking for another place to rent and if he did t want to give me another room to give me my money back to get another place and he didn’t want to do that so had to stay in that room floor was not clean dirty not sweeped or moped ac broken but worked with roach dropping mini fridge had dead roaches all around the hotel trash in parking walls broken the room smelled like roach dropping I had three extra blankets I took from my home and had to put them on the beds to not lay on the dirty sheets or pillowcases with blood me and my sons bed had our blankets on it and covered ourselves with our blankets we did not wanna get sick from laying on filth this hotel needs to be shut down it’s no sanitary at all

We are typically okay with staying at a hole in the wall hotel for a night but this was just on another level of not okay. dead roaches, alive roaches. outside is not kept clean. dirty pool. just super nasty.
No one was in the office for more than a half hour and we nearly left because it was very late and we needed a place to stay. This place is horrendous.
Literally the worst hotel I’ve stayed at – ever. Filthy, chair had like 50 questionable stains. Dirty floor. Terrible smell/ odor. Hole in bathroom ceiling, from which mouse droppings covered the bathroom floor. Molding all chewed away by rats and left unrepaired. Could hear either mice or cockroaches scurrying all night. No shades on 3 lamps, one of which sputtered like morse code until we shut it off. Bathroom sink full of shaving hairs – room had not been cleaned. 3 doors down from about 25 teenagers and a literal wall of drug haze emitting from it. I cannot believe Expedia has this as a “recommended” result – literally should be shut down by board of health. Disgusting, I cleaned, unsafe. Do not stay here.
For sure the most disgusting hotel I have ever seen in my life. Cockroaches walking around, blood-stained sheets, human hair on sheets and in bathroom. I simply had to leave and look for a different place. Yolanda, the manager, refused to reimburse me for the room.
The hotel was not in the best condition. For the price it felt like a rip off even with it being across from the theme parks. There were roaches, the room wasn’t clean. My husband had to buy bleach and sanitizer spray and clean up himself. My family and I were very uncomfortable and unhappy with the stay. We will most definitely make sure to not go back.

The staff is very nice qnd professional. However the area is not what was expected from the pictures that is showing on expedia. The room was very clustered and the closet was on the door where it was hard to get in.
It was horrible. There was a hole at the bottom of the door a small child could crawl thru. The bed sheets and comforter had cigarette burns.. paper thin walls and loud ass people....smh. never again.
This hotel is dirty and unkept. The walls are dirty, the furniture is dirty, there’s holes in the walls, and the traffic there is mostly drug addicts and homeless people. I will say it’s my fault for not reading the reviews on this hotel but we just chose a spot for a one night stay that was not supposed to happen! The check in guy was nice I will say but other than that I would NEVER stay there again!

Decent
Old hotel - tv didn’t work, area is a little shady and it’s gonna be loud at night. All in all it was the cheapest in the area ($250 for 1 night at the nearby la Quinta), not an exciting room but there weren’t bugs or anything questionable. Just an old building. If you need a bed for the night it’s the move - wouldn’t bring kids here.
