The toilet was dirty. With some hairs on it. The bathroom looks extremely careless, rusted. The door has no deadbolt. For the price and chain name I expected something a lot better. Have pictures of everything.

This place was morning like the photos! the pool was closed and the whole reason I choose this place was because of the pool, while looking up this hotel is says there is a pool... Well technically there is but u can't swim in it because the deck is broken... The first room I was given was dirty the walls were dirty the first thing I seen was a roach on the floor when the door was only 2 inches open so I had to go back and ask for a different room the second room was a little better but still dirty and nasty cigarette burns on the bed , I couldn't even walk through my car without being asked for money or if I wanted to buy cigarettes or something very unpleasant and I will not be ever staying at this place again

My air-conditioning did not work. The refrigerator did not work. I made two requests for repair or replacement. They said they couldn't help the problem in my room. I asked for new room. They responded with no because all rooms were booked. However, the property never appeared full according to parking. Apartment next to property had party in every room the night i stayed.

The motel smelled like cigarettes and was poorly maintained. It also appeared to be an extended stay with people loitering around outside and seemed very unsafe. I did not stay.

My flight arrived late, it was approximately 2:30am when I attempted to check in. There was no one answer the door, it was dark and in a very bad part of town. I want able to stay there because no one came to check me in. I deserve a refund

This was quite possibly the worst “hotel” I’ve ever seen. The first impression of it was horrible. Congregations of people just hanging around outside being noisy at midnight and screaming about someone overdosing as we’re trying to find the office to check in. The office was literally one of the hotel rooms with a desk & computer in it. Once we got into our room, it was the most disgusting unclean room I’ve seen. Rips and tears in the pillows and blankets and stains everywhere and bugs and the smell of mildew. I didn’t want to touch anything. We immediately asked for a refund as we felt very unsafe as well. Just sitting in our room we heard someone else outside our room screaming on the phone about something. This was at 1am and no way we would have had a good nights sleep here. Extremely unsafe and unclean. Only good part was the staff was nice.

Unsafe and scary

The hotel was terrible. Unclean and half falling apart. Bathroom door wouldn’t even close and part of the lock on the front had been ripped off. I’m also pretty sure that there was about 20 gunshots around midnight.

Absolutely the worst hotel I’ve ever booked. All the rooms where is nasty as could be. People hanging all around Drinking and just hanging out room was a complete utter mess . patches on the wall. My wife and I walked into the room and walked right back out got in our car and left was afraid the people hanging out all over the place might start to bother us because we were of a different ethnic background. As far as for Expedia I would not have that on my website. By that i mean it down right dangerous. I believe that we are owed a refund of the money spent since we never stayed there because property Should not be on your website!

Worst motel ever, be honest, one star is more than generous. Cockroaches everywhere, we saw hundreds. We booked a non smoking room, but the rooms have very strong cheap cigarettes smell mixed with musty. The door lock is broken, can not lock from inside. Some Africa American ladies wondering around. The room is very very dirty, I step on the floor with my barefoot for five seconds, my feet are as black as coal. This place should shut down.

This was probably the most disgusting hotel I’ve ever stayed at. There were cockroaches, destroyed furniture, the room in general was filthy, the smoke detector was disconnected… we ended up leaving and not staying the night.
