They didn’t have two queen beds that was booked. They said they were giving us a suite but it seemed to be the worst room on the site. The entry door was not locked. My room was at the far rear corner of the property where there was temporary housing for the unhoused. Staff was not accommodating and said this was their best room. It was not.

The staff were friendly and helpful every time I went in the main office. 2 times my door key stopped working but it may have been do to magnet on my phone The outside of the facility could use a serious update. There were some rooms that looked like people were living there as I saw clothing hanging to dry on balconies. There was quite a few people kind of wondering aeound looking a little suspicious and a lot of weed smell in the air. At one point there were cops that seemed to be looking for someone. The view is of a highway being renovated. Other than that, the room i was in was not bed. With a nice bed and was cleaned well. The shower was nice and hot. They have a coffee maker, microwave, and fridge in the room with a bit of office like space/desk top area.

I arrived at 3:45. There were more than a dozen people waiting in the lobby for rooms, and they refused to check anyone in until 4 o’clock. It took until almost 5 for me to get into a room.

Check in girls are lovely but the facilities are trashed. Signs say they have security but outside doors don’t actually lock. Hotel room door and balcony door didn’t lock either - used the slide lock only on the door and risked leaving stuff in the room. Balcony door has a bar for security. Comforters and drapes have stains and cigarette burns!

Weed smell all round. Hall way stinks so bad. Wash hand basin would not flush. Bathtub looks like someone threw up in there. It was a total disaster. I wouldn’t wish that place on my enemy. We had to change rooms because the first room was unbearable. Forgot a shoe and came back for it and the shoe was gone, both pair😠 and the reception guy was not even concerned guess he had other priorities.

Not the property ownwers, but you who are at fault

You, Hotels.com are at fault, not the property owners. How can you sell such rooms without inspection, andcstill be in bussiness? The whole 3rd floor smells like urine. Leaks in the rooof, all baseboards detached, floor squares missing. Door unable to lock from inside. No security at all!!! This was a nightmare. I called a family member living an hour away to pick me up. No way was I staying for a second night. Go take pictures for yourself!!!! Room 241. I want a full refund!!!

It’s reasonably priced for a reason - it is in desperate need of renovations. The walls are really thin as well - I could hear everything in my neighbors rooms - above and next to me.
