Disappointed to say the least.
Check in was good, room size was ok. The toilet was extremely noisy when you would flush. The sink drain was clogged up. They only give you two towels. I went in the morning to ask for another towel and was told no. I would never stay here again

Unclean property where the manager is more concerned about FaceTiming with his friend than checking us in. First room not made up, second room looked like it was already slept in. Bugs crawling around. Clothes under the stairs. Unclean lobby. Do not recommend.

Owners make you pay a 25 deposit when clearly the websites states no additional fees. They say it’s a deposit and you will get back at checkout. Straight up lies.

Worst Hotel I Have EVER Seen
This hotel was absolutely disgusting. The bed sheets were stained, floors were not swept and the room was just in terrible over all condition. The area was very unsafe. The picture shows a white building....this building was brown and very run down.
This room was so terrible we left. When i requested a refund i was denied by both the hotel and hotels.com.
We will not be booking through hotels.com

Sheets had some stains but were clean otherwise. Odd crack in the floor by the door but the room was intact. TV wouldn't change off of Bravo but that could just be that the cable box was mounted in an odd location where the remote couldn't reach it.
