They did not honor our reservation from Hotels.com. Place felt dirty from the lobby. Front desk was not helpful and gave us false information about room availability causing us to waste hours of our time waiting to see if a room would open. Up.
It sucked. The room was too small, outdated furnitture. The bathroom light work only part of the time and was horrible.

Disliked: Staff & service
The owner is rude they charge you if they even allow you any guest at all day or night other that the people that stay there pretty much love there and help each other if needed the owner is rude speaks little English it wasn't the cleanest but felt like home..if they got some better start and stop extorting money from their guest I'd stay there again 4sure..
I fell in the room- the rolling chair rolled out from under me injuring my back and left hand. I am still sore. I informed the person on duty as I checked out . NO RESPOBSE
The property was was located in a scary part of town and there were some sketchy people loitering around. The inside hallway was quite dirty and had sizable stains on it. At one point, there was a stained mattress leaned up against the front of the building and an employee was using a hose and soap to wash it. The room itself was mostly clean but had not been thoroughly inspected after the previous guests because we found items left in the refrigerator. The staff was friendly but did not speak much English so it was difficult to understand the rates and regulations.

Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Did not have high expectations but this hotel was survivable for a one night stay. Everything is just in mediocre condition and has a very used appearance. However there were no bugs found which was a plus.

We found a bug in the bed. but everything else quiet thank for your service.
This was a horrible hotel. the place was gross. the chandelier in my room was falling off wiring showing. I was scared to even crawl in bed. I left after an hour of being their. and was still charged $50.
The bedspread was dingy the sheets didn't fit the bed and they didn't seem to be all that clean the walls were marked up and didn't look like they've been cleaned that well bad wasn't that comfortabl
I thought this was a travel lodge, it certainly wasn't, after they charged me for the room, adding 10 bucks for my daughter, they demanded a 20 cash deposit for the plastic key card for the room key. Will never stay here again.

Call if your check in is after 9 PM
This hotel has the strange rule that you need to call if you are going to check in after 9 PM. I was on the road dealing with traffic and I forgot about the rule so when I got there they have rented my room. I made a reservation for 2 beds and since they have rented my room the only room available was a 1 one bed so it was not a comfortable night before a day of flights.
disgusting. Dirty. Useless staff. Far from everything. Cigarette burns in the sheets even though a nonsmoking room. This place should be shut down. Had to complain before they would even clean the room
This place is terrible! There was bed bugs and they refused to give my whole deposit back! Horrible stay I have bed bug bites everywhere don't stay here!
Young man, hotel clerk very nice. But then the housekeeper was accusing us of having a dog in our room, but we didn't have any animals with us. She kept going on, until I offered her to search my room.
