It was a bit odd that the office was closed and you have to call to contact someone. Other than that it wasnt to bad. They're clearly remodeling and have a lot of furniture outside on the blacony and by the stairs. If that were cleaned up the room would have a 4 overall

Worst booking ever!

Please be warn, do not do business with Hotels.com. they have on there website a hotel that was roach infested, and when i tried to get a refund of my 300.00 they offered me a 40.00 one cash key. Their customer service was a -0, no relief at all. Been a member for over 10 yrs. Now I'm dealing directly with hotels myself. If they can't vet there hotels on their sites then its just a money grab for them and hotel. Oh by the way that was also used as a homeless shelter. When you can't even speak to someone in your own country and they direct you to someone in Egypt, you know your getting the run around.

DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE. It is absolutely disgusting and not health standard compliant. We not only had hairs everywhere, bugs and CIGARETTE WHOLES in the blankets and chairs, but also found MOLD, GRIME and RUST in the "kitchen", toilet and tables. We also met some of the worst staff ever, they are not present at the front desk at any time, and actively avoided us and lied to us AND the EXPEDIA TEAM on the phone to not confront us about the refund. Please do not waste your time, money or health on this sorry excuse for a business, this type of incompetence is unreal.

Not a place to stay if checking in late

Had I known that this place isn't staffed 24/7 I wouldn't have booked a stay here. Reminds me alot of Motel 6 and is more like an apartment a very expensive apartment. Front desk is only staffed 11 AM to 7 PM. That is a major inconvenience for late night check ins. Calling a 224 number upon arrival and have to wait for God knows how long to check in. We attempted to check in early and waited for almost an hour to do so. It ruined my experience and ended up getting to Six Flags later after 2pm. The room smells of cigarette smoke too and needs some serious updating and painting. Will not be staying here again.

Do NOT stay here. Its really skeezy.

The place was really run down & mattresses, old furniture etc in the hallways. Peeling paint, cigarette burns on the table & utterly filthy. Despite a non-smoking mandate, the room smelled of smoke masked with deoderizer. If i hadnt absolutely had to stay both nights & the only other options either too far away or charging over $225/night I would have have walked away after first entering the room. I walked from the shower to the bedside & during that 15 foot walk my feet picked up enough grunge from the floor that I was utterly disgusted. The bathroom was gross, no toilet paper holder & half a roll of TP just plunked on the tank of the toilet. No hot water in the "kitchenette" No paper towels or napkins. Microwave had food stuck in it & the counter was greasy.

What I'd like about the property was that each room had his own kitchen bathroom refrigerator and cabinets where you can store all your food and things like that. What I did not like about the facility was that the air conditioning unit in my particular room was not you know working optimally so it was kind of warm during the summer months.

Room had no doorknob, no light in bathroom, toilet did not work. We will not and would not recommend anyone staying here. For the military base being close, you would think the staff and owners would have and take more pride in their property and buildings. They just did not care to fix problems at all or give us another room!!!!!!!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Dirty property, front desk not available at working hours (7 am) Poor checking process, death roach in the bathroom, found the toilet clogged, room had a heavy smoke smell even though it’s a non-smoking place. They couldn’t offer a different room because the place was fully booked. Manager not available. Everything very disappointing
