You can tell they are on their way to improvement...but theyre just not there yet. It felt unsafe. There was ash and leaves on the sheet, a ball of hair on the floor, stained and irregular towels in the bathroom, rusted sliding lock, and capped but exposed visible wires on the doorframe. We ended up leaving that night because we didnt feel clean or safe. But there are visible improvements. The kitchen area was definitely improved and there was a nice television. They will get there, they just arent thete yet. The staff was friendly and understanding.

This property is currently being renovated to attract more clientele. Michael was extremely affable and responsive. He cares about the property and is working hard to make upgrades. The best part of the room is the huge T.V. screens. Some are cable, mine was Roku. All rooms also have a full size fridge with freezer. Also a plus was a table and chairs to sit down and eat. The beds are very comfy. At first the water temp was just warm, but after asking Michael the water was very hot.

I'd rather sleep on the ground

To call this place a dump is an insult to dumps. I have never seen a nastier room in my life. The smell of marijuana was unbearable and the staff is incredibly rude. The toilet didn't work and sink was clogged. STAY SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!

Stayed here on different occasions and each time the rooms were in used condition. Beds were made but sheets never changed. Housekeeping takes shortcuts and management does not care. Found blood stains, lots of hair and crumbs in bed. Towels were used and when you ask for fresh sheets/towels the staff does not apologize and just give you dirty sheets/towels back. Rooms had personal belongings from previous guests in them and there were cockroaches.

The attendant was friendly when I arrived, however, she admitted that she was not properly trained on how to use the computer and had to get help to find keys. The room was grungy, the bathroom shower was full of mold, the towels were yellowed, the trash can had no liner and was covered in mold, and the smoke detector was on the floor. The worst part was the sheets had footprints on them. We left after inspecting the room. The management refused to acknowledge my complaint.

When we arrived the person at the front desk was very nice to us though he was drinking a beer on the job. The outside of the building was very rundown and the office was not as depicted in the photos. When we went to our room it was very dirty on the floors tables and bed. There was flakes of dirt on all the surfaces and there were visible pee stains on the sheets and mattresses. The toilet was clogged with a large quantity of poop that would flush. Overall felt too unclean and unsanitary to stay so we checked out right after viewing the room. The hotel would not give us the money back because they said that the room was fine.

Please DO NOT STAY HERE!!!! Don't be convinced by the pics, the room isn't like that. Don't look at the price and get fooled. You WILL NOT sleep it is so filthy. If you go to the office, you need to call someone to come over from their room and they may not answer. Expedia should not list this place because it fooled me into thinking it was serviceable , but it's totally gross. Someone's soap was left in the shower with hair on it. Please avoid this place.

The smelled horrible. Let the wayer in the shower and the sunk run for 20 minutes and it never got hot it stayed cold the entire time. The sink.was steady running and wouldnt turn off NOT dripping but running. The toilet had what looked like tobaccoo floating all in it. The entire floor was sticking to my shoes everywhere i walked. The window curtain didnt close all the way anybody walking by could see in. The.microwave was completely covered with black and green mold inside. When checking in the attendant made me wait sonhe could go find where he put his beer down at and came back 15 minutes later with one in his hand. I couldnt stay through the while night there and they refused to give me a refund.
