There was nothing to like about it. It had drug dealing going on right in the oarki g lot and a major overall feeling of totally unsafe. I witnessed an actual fight between the GM and a guest caught stealing next day when I tried to get my money back. I stayed elsewhere at a much higher rate as a walk in just to feel safe to wk to my room from my car.

We always stay in budget hotels so we're not picky. This was literally the worst hotel I've ever been in. Manager was unfriendly and could not be communicated with clearly. Finally got the room key. Thanks? Got to room and found that heat would not come on. Window type unit plugged into badly installed outlet would not come on. Unplugged the unit and plugged back in, no luch, went downstairs to ask for help. Manager came up and fiddled with the outlet and got the heat to come on. Looked at me like I was stupid. Manager left room. 5 minutes later as we're settling in, the plug on the heater unit CAUGHT FIRE!?!?!? Pulled plug and got fire out before it lit the curtains and killed us all. Went back down to get manager and tried to explain what had happened. He gave me the "you're so stupid" look again and finally came up to the room. The smell of burning plastic and obvious scorching on the outlet cover plate finally convinced him that something was amiss. We were given another room. 2nd room was better, in that we did not need an extinguisher, but still terrible. Not particularly clean, ratty furniture, everything dated. The blow dryer looked like it was recently retrieved from a restaurant kitchen grease pit. One of the towels had no hem on one side and had clearly been cut in half. No water cups provided. Soap was scratchy. Bad, just bad. Don't do it. Don't. I know it's $60 a night out the door, it's not worth it. Spend the extra $5.

Staff tried to charge me additional money for the room. I was put out of hotel when i expressed concerns about condition of the room (i.e. dirty sheets, dead bugs, burnt electrical socket)

Where Not to Stay!

The staff were overbearing and impolite. I felt harrasssed the entire time I was there by the staff/management and the room was rather distasteful and that is said mildly! I discourage anyone who may choose this estsblishment to pass it by!

Not a great area and the bathroom smelled like poop constantly. The shower curtain had mold, the bed sheets had stains, the bathroom counter was filthy. But there is a fridge and a microwave as well as the check in person was somewhat helpful when there was a issue with check in.

The property is filthy, the manager (from India with a thick accent) extremely rude. He dropped my driver's license on the floor and argued with me for 20 minutes that he had returned it to me. I was getting ready to call the police and he mysteriously found it. That place is in a bad section of town. Bums live there. I'm not a wealthy person but these people are one day from homeless. Room 120 is right next to the office in which I stayed with my 87 yo mother and all we heard all night long was yelling and screaming outside our door. The manager was walking up and down the sidewalk with a big white stick yelling and screaming. Never again will I stay there or any place runned by those people.

The staff was rude and horrible. The furniture is very outdated. The room was dirty and smelled bad. Roaches, ants spiders were in the room. My wife and I were bitten by bedbugs multiple times. The staff demanded a credit card “in case we stole something. I wouldn’t recommend this for your pet. They did not want to give us clean towels.

The bath tub was dusty, which should have been the first clue that the shower didn't work. I tried multiple ways to turn it on to no avail. They only gave us half a roll of toilet paper and had to resort to the nose tissues provided. The air conditioner looked a little sketchy sitting on the floor. You had to unplug the fridge to plug in the microwave. Half the lights didn't work, not sure if it was bad bulbs or if you had to unplug something else to plug in the lights. The outlet near the sink for the hair dryer didn't look safe to use.
