Horrible cleanliness

Im not happy with this place, ive stayed here on many occasions, the price is good and the best thing they have going is no deposit... Besides that u would think they would get better but instead its gotten worse:the housekeeping sucks they dont clean that good at all, there are boogers and blood marks on the walls, clothes left in the drawers from the people that stayed before me and the worst part is there are ALOT of cockroaches everywhere, turn the lights off wen they come back on theres bugs everywere, very disappointed 😞

Staff helpfull but cleanliness sux

The room was horrible as far as interior decorating, the walls were dirty with fingerprints and other gross bodily fluids, the toilet seat was dirty with pube-hair, i saw blood smeared on bathroom wall, there was an occasional cockroach scurrying about... The towels were dingy and an offwhite color along with the sheets, the customer svc at the front desk was good, nice people, very helpful at all times day or night

Roach Motel

Dirty, needs to be painted, saw a few roaches, alive and dead. Bad smell in the room of cigarettes. Small window AC didn't cool the room. Large homeless population in the area and on the property. Noisy all night. No hair dryer, no iron.

2/10 Poor

The hotel was disgusting with bugs on the beds and walls, and there is dirt on the walls and holes in the walls. The staff offered another room, but it was similar. Requested a refund through Expedia due to the misrepresentation of the hotel online.

Obrion, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Very scary and very smelly rooms. My room smelled like so much smoke was in the vents. I didn’t even stay the full night. I left because it was hurting my nose. Not safe at all, people yelling and screaming for the cops. Bad stay. Don’t stay here
Keenen, 1-night trip

You hope that when an inexpensive room is booked you can say it was cheap but it was clean. This was neither. Dirty floor dirty bedstands dirty shower curtain not a surface was in good repair so many scratches snd broken pieces throughout the room. Fixtures were chipped. A used condom behind the side table.hair on floor and hot water took forever to get hot, Please put a table lamp in room and hangars. Re-flooring needed as well as paint. Locks on windows.
