Our AC was not working whatsoever. The fridge was not cold but apparently we as guests had to plug it in and turn it on ourselves. We called to ask to switch rooms because it was hot and uncomfortable due to the AC and the lady on site told us it should be working and came to check on it. Tried saying it was on the wrong settings and that it would work soon. Never did. Ironically we got comfort from opening a window. Absolutely overpriced and run down. Half of the amenities that are advertised, do not even work!

Extremely outdated. Charges transaction fee for the deposit and to refund the deposit. Have to give clerk PIN number because apparently card machine doesn’t reach the desk no option for apple/phone payments. Rooms unsanitary from the bathrooms to the remote controller. Sleep in your car and save the money if no other hotels are available. Don’t waste your time or money on this hotel

I arrived and it was raining. The desk lady was rood and looked like she didn’t want to help me with my reservation. I waited in the cold while being wet with rain water for about 15-20 minutes while she “verified” it was me. I felt like I was an annoyance to her for getting a room. They place a $100 deposit, which I understand… but at check-out I requested an inspection of the room because I live 7 hours away and don’t like surprises. The guy who helped me refused to check the room because it was “housekeeper job”. Just hope I get my deposit back and they don’t try to pull some funny $hit. 👎 I would have rather paid a little more for better service, but rooms were scarce, it was Christmas.

The place was dusty. It seemed like it hadn’t been clean for a couple weeks. The location itself felt unsafe. The images provided seemed to be a better, safer, cleaner place but in reality wasn’t the case. Had to leave after the first night bright in early.

Was looking for a last minute stay before ridiculous rates on memorial day. Hotel manager has been working there for 27 years, the room looked somewhat appealing online. When arriving you could see that this place should’ve been a junkyard.

The dusty star

This place was disgusting you walk into gnats flying in your face the bathroom window was boarded up, the towels were totally used the refrigerator was unplugged but before I can't even open it to plug it in it had a weird smell coming from it so I just didn't there were no smoke detectors or carbon monoxide detectors in the room.

No visitors

A bit rundown, when I asked about the wifi was told it has been out for 2 months. The no visitors policy is ridiculous, my friend came to see me the clerk chased her down and was telling me from the ground floor no visitors, I won't be staying here again.
