Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
When we checked there were extra fees, the staff gave us dirty towels to take into the room. The room was filthy and the bathroom had someone’s pubic hairs all over the shower walls and the shower spout did not work. The room had an awful stench and the bedding(which was just 2 sheets, not comforters and there were stains all over the bedding. The refrigerator freezer was not taken care of and completely ice build up. Not trash bags in trash cans and not ice bucket liners to get ice. It was not a nice place to stay. Extremely disappointed!

DONT STAY HERE!! I saw decent reviews on expedia so i went ahead and booked a room. I couldn't believe how disgusting this place was. There are windows that have cardboard in them. The lobby area looked dusty and abandoned. I went to check in and they wanted an additional 100 dollar deposit. Which was no problem but that should be known ahead of time. When i saw the room i immediately walked right back out. It was disgusting! The bedding had white mystery stains all over it. The roll of toilet paper had gotten wet and was blue from something. There were no towels even though we booked for 4 adults. When I went to get new toilet paper and some towels they acted like they didn't believe me and had to come"check the room" as if there were actually towels in there somewhere. The icing on the cake was there was a door to a room next door that was being used by front desk staff and there was a rusty old nail securing the door from being opened. The front desk guy said there was no one in that room but i watched him go in and out of there smoking cigarettes. This place is the nastiest hotel i have ever seen. I got my deposit back and left. Requested a refund from expedia who called the hotel several times and when no one answered expedia refused to refund my money. I will never book through expedia again and I would advise anyone else who is thinking about it, don't. Go through the hotels own website. At least if there's a problem you won't get ripped off like i did

The rooms are clean but there were little beetle bugs crawling all over and the shower wouldn’t get hot just warm. They didn’t supply a dead bolt on the doors. When I checked in they said they needed a $100 deposit and they took a photo copy of my drivers license and my credit card which made me uncomfortable.

Don’t stay in this place , the pictures are lies

It was horrible I already chatted with customer service over it I’m hoping maybe to get some of the costs back. There was no soap in the bathroomit felt extremely dirty, unkept, the towels I was given were grey instead of white because they were dirty or not newly washed , there was a drug bust with 3 cops after we returned from family event that my 10 year old had to witness If I could have had more funds I would have packed up and left myself, a family next door did leave with their two children
