When we checked in the lobby was the first sign that this was a GHETTO hotel. We checked into our room, and the beds were not made and the sheets and covers smelled funny. The next morning we had to wait for two hours while they washed the same sheets and put them back on the beds. The people next... More

I wish I had read previous reviews before checking in. I had just exited the highway and saw a sign with a great price including free wifi and continental breakfast. I walked into the room and pulled out the chair at the desk area to sit down. It was not just stained, but had hardened fluids on it. It was... More

We thought we had found a pretty good hotel since afterall they tell you they have a indoor pool, exercise room, wifi and jacuzzi...not to mention the remodeled rooms.. Well, in our "remodeled" room the a/c gave us problems the entire time we were there. The floor stayed SOAKED from the a/c and it would cut off and wouldnt come... More

My experience was horrible. The hotel clerk who checked me into the hotel made promises that were never kept during my stay. Woke up to loud noises at about 2am from the guests in the next room. Among other noises, the TV was so loud you could hear every word in the beds in my room. You could hear every... More

There is nothing positive to say about this hotel (if you could call it that). Hotel was filthy, the same with the room. Ripped linen, stained towels, dirty bathroom, ripped carpet, it even smelled wrong. Do not even consider staying there.

I have traveled all over this country an stayed in some pretty nasty motels but this one, by far and away, is the absolute WORST place I have ever had the displeasure of experiencing. As I tried to walk into the lobby for the purpose of checking in at the front desk, I had to wade through a group of... More

This place looked nice on the outside but the rooms were nothing but TRASH. Holes in the walls. Filthy carpet. Disgusting. Loud noises all night. Shady people hanging around. Was completely paranoid and scared the entire night. When I tried to receive a refund I was told NO REFUNDS. DO NOT STAY HERE!

This place looks okay on the outside. We thought we had found a decent place to stay. When we got to our room, umm wow. There was a hole kicked in the wall. The light fixtures were missing thier covers. It was a mess. An absolute mess. To make matters worse they have a no refund policy. Words can not... More
