The pool
The loud music the room was not really clean good
Parking was bad. Room was dirty and still had a bag left from the previous client. The walls were so thin we could hear them snoring and watching TV. It smelled in the room. My son started coughing during the night.
The location is good and staff was professional.
This hotel is disgusting. The room is old and needs to be torn down and rebuilt. The desk in the room was made of a left over piece of compressed plywood. The clientele that is drawn to place are folks with a felony record.
Price and location
Paying 25 cents for some ice. not enough electrical outlets for devices, difficult TV channels.
yes, the place was filthy, smelly, furnitures are old, floor is dirty, bathroom is old and rusty!! terrible place to stay. I don’t understand why they have not been reported to sanitation health department. shame this hotel is still open!
Location
Furniture, sound, bed linens
Easy check in
There were no lamps in the room or a chair. The room over all was pretty run down.
I want my money back. complete refund. I liked NOTHING about this hotel!
Drugs addicts outside my door. Noise all night. of in and out, fighting, husband on meth threw his wife out in the cold. Drug drama.
EVERYTHING! Dirty floors No hangers in closet, noise from outside was unbearable, homeless man yelling obscenities until 11 pm, light fixture in bathroom ceiling falling down, no iron or ironing board. It was a nightmare!
Price and location
Hot water valve was in the off position for the bathroom sink. Scent of air freshener similar to a NY taxi. Grounds were littered. Window was old and difficult to open for fresh air.
We didn?t even stay. After checking in and taking one look at how dirty it was we left.
Very helpful and apologetic manager on site. The manager did bring two new light bulbs and plugged in one lamp whose cord was behind the bed.
It was the most bare-bones hotel I have ever stayed at. No wastebasket, no shower curtain, broken fixture in the tub/shower, neither bedside light worked. No coffeemaker (pretty standard equipment in most motels). Very old,musty smell. Broken floor tiles.
The front desk worker was very nice and polite. A shining star of the experience.
This hotel is in terrible condition; ripped shower curtains, no toilet paper holders, gunk on the ceiling, trashed and derelict looking cars in the parking lot, some of the room lights and plugs were not working.
The room was as I expected because I read some of the reviews. It was an older motel, but it was extremely clean. The staff was so very nice, so for me I looked past many things. I took my own towels and extra blankets.
As I said it's an old motel, so if want PLUSH, it is not. But, the cleanliness and staff make up for what's lacking. For me, that's my opinion.
This as the most uncomfortable stay I ever had. In my opinion it dosent deserve 1/2 a star.
The room was filthy looked like someone was living in there and just moved out before I got there. The room was filthy dark dirty bedding cigarette burns on covers sink fixture loose shower curtain had large dark smudges. This is not a hotel its an apartm
The location
It wasn't clean the smoke detector was broken, the bathroom door knob was loose and the sink leaked. The fridge wasn't defrosted. Overall the place is poorly maintained.
Close to downtown.
The room is very dirty and stinky. Bedsheets are dirty. Will never recommend this place and will never ever stay here again.
At least the tv was working¿
The hotel grounds were full of trash. The towels and sheets had stains. The bed was saggy. The towels smelled of chemicals and were scratchy. This was not a hotel that felt cared for and not worth $-- a night. I feel quite tricked.
