Do not stay here
Guest services was arguing with a customer when I called the front desk. The bathroom was dirty. The tv remote didnt work. The heater barely worked and was noisy. The room had a weird odor. The front door needed repair. I only stayed here cause I was tired. Lots of sketchy people in the parking lot. The front desk guy in the morning did not aknowledge I had paid a deposit in cash. I had to insist that he should check the room out to get my deposit back. He took forever almost caused me to be late for work. Place needs a renovation badly

We are sorry for the issues that occurred during your visit. Regarding your car, we trust you alerted the proper authorities. While we are pet-friendly, that does not mean they are free to stay. Breakfast has changed due to the pandemic, and this is noted on our site. Nonetheless, we appreciate your time, and we wish you the best.

the front desk, jaye, was rude ! immediately after checking in, we found a needle !!! upon telling the over night desk staff, we were told that we were responsible for it being there and that if we had one more issue we would have to leave . the next morning, i went back to the desk to speak about the situation and was told that needles do not happen at that location because they have housekeeping(even tho the room would immediately fail with the health department !) once again was told that we ‘planted’ the needles and not to ‘try that we them’ !! before walking out of office, was told we could leave right now and to never come back there((WHY WOULD WE?))

The facility was horrible! Very dirty and the room was obviously smoked in. We were upstairs and the stairway going up was very unsafe. It felt like it could collapse at any moment. The bathroom was full of mold. They had painted the tub/shower and it was a mess. There was a huge fight outside and the staff did nothing about it. We watched as a guy was thrown against our car several times by his girl no doubt! We found blood on our car in the morning. That's just for starters.

Horrible experience. Room was very dirty and smoky. Parking lot seemed dangerous. When I turned the heater on the room smelled like pee. I asked for a second room. They gave me another room that was no better. I asked for a refund and they said they would accept it but it would have to process though hotels.com. When I called hotels.com they tried to contact the hotel but nobody would answer. Don’t stay at this hotel. It’s horrible.

Stay away from this DUMPSTER! I repeat stay away from this DUMPSTER! This place is at the bottom of Dumpster! The boy working at the Front Desk is in jeans and T-Shirt with a burnt cigarette stuck behind his ear. While I was inside the lobby the only people coming to book room at this place were boys and girls looking for a ONE night session. This place is in the middle of NOWHERE.
