    I booked it online. They accepted it and when we showed up to the property they were doing a shift change. The room didn’t have a phone or clean bathroom or towels. I had to work and sleep while my finance had to run errands to prepare for our wedding. We checked out early and I tried to address my concerns not asking if for a refund. The guy said why are you coming at 4pm to tell us. I asked for a receipt for my check out and that couldn’t be provided either.

    No towels in restroom and when asking for some they look at you like we ate them or something.. They are just Towels...sorry And for the price on room I would expect towels in restrooms a TV that works and air conditioning that works... Not to much to ask for.

    It's close to my area...

    This was the grimiest, dirtiest, nastiest hotel I've EVER stayed in. My husband immediately said after walking in the room if we could get our money back. Unfortunately I didn't pay for the insurance so I knew we couldn't. There were no fitted sheets on the bed so every time I'd roll over I'd end up on their 1980's bare spring mattress. There was 1 shower towel provided for a 4 occupancy room (and there were 4 of us on the reservation). The towel bar and toilet paper holder bar had been ripped off the wall and not fixed. The shower was dirty. And I can only imagine how much they pay in water by how heavily the sink was leaking water. Such a waste. The blackout window curtains were barely hanging on by 3 clips so all the light from the outside was coming in so bright I couldn't sleep at all. It appeared that the family who owns the hotel lives on site, so the fact that they allowed it to get that nasty shows how little they care. I wish I would have remembered to take pictures before turning in the keys, because it was completely unbelievable how nasty this hotel was.

    Absolutely nothing.

    cleanliness needs to be done more than anything. customer service also needs a lot of improvement so guests feel welcomed and not disrespected.

    Room and service was really poor. roaches everywhere including bed bugs etc. disgusting overall and the guy at the front desk was extremely rude and not welcoming.

    For one the room was filthy, carpets, couches, curtains. The curtain was falling, the doors were hanging and unable to close properly. The toilets smelled disgusting. There was nothing good about this place from the moment you arrive. There is definitely prostitution going on there and a lot of drug addicts. The place looks scary, as if it was one of those creepy serial killer hotel scenes. We turned back around and asked for our money back giving the conditions of the hotel and only being there 10 min. The lady did not help us in any way , she seemed hindu or indian. We ended up staying in the parking lot of a mcdonalds due to the conditons of this horrible horroble hotel. I have never wrote a review or been to such a disgusting place in my whole life when traveling. People need to be aware of this place. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME DRIVING THERE OR HARD EARNED MONEY TO SLEEP IN SUCH A DISGUSTING HORRIFYING PLACE LIKE THIS. It was actually quite frightening. Its such a shame that places like this are even offered on booking.com. they need to be investigated and have inspections of the whole facility before being able to be listed on such sites. Just the fact that we were there 10 minutes and didnt give us a refund is so disappointing. BEWARE!

    There was nothing liked about this facility. The pictures online lie. I understand the ratings, but man oh man this place needs to go out of service. It needs to be inspected and see if everything is up to code.
