There was no food. It was all gone when we got there, before ending time, staff wouldn’t refill and had extreme attitude when we weren’t happy about that.

My wife and I booked a room for Friday through Hotel.com and it was $8176. We decided to stay another night and it was the same price through Hotel.com. She went to get our key and the hotel owner said and I quote..."if you want to stay another Night in need $20 cash, otherwise you have to get out between 11:00 am and 3:00 pm". Unscrupulous business tactics and SMH

It took several tries for the door to unlock. Once it did, it had to be forced open. So don't stay in 216. The water pressure in toilet was nearly non existent. To flush, the handle must be held down. There was a roach on the counter of the sink.The continental breakfast offered no fruit or water.

The room was actually cold when I checked in. Perhaps saving a little money on air-conditioning when it’s not needed might permit coffee makers in the room. Bad enough that there’s no daily service which I can live without, but I need my coffee!

The Charge Should be $40 a night at Most

The hotel was dirty inside and out. Parking lot was filthy. Rooms was ran down with super worn down raggedy furniture. Even the walls were falling apart. Found a couple roaches. I am glad I had my own bedding because I would not been able to sleep.

For the price, it really wasnt worth the price charged. I had to ask for a fridge. In order to plug up your phone, phone charger,etc. you had to either unplug the mini fridge, microwave or t.v. . The motel was just not worth the price.

The room was a mess when i arrived on my check in. It was a non-smoking room but you really smell the smoke when you're in the room. The security lock of the room was broken and I thought I could change my room but the vicinity was loud and realized the room will all be the same anyways so I had to leave.

Worse experience ever

My flight was delayed and anticipating possible cancellations if I would get there too late, I called them in advance before boarding and beg them to not cancel my reservation. That I was going to make very late at night but that I still needed the room. The person who took my call told me that he was going to add a note. That there was no need to worry. While I was flying they called at 11 pm and because I didn't pickup the call, they cancelled my reservation. The lady who talked to me was extremely rude and even yelled at me saying that it was 3 am. And I said that I called before. She didn't care. I had to sleep in my rental car. Do not trust their staff.

The place is very dirty on the outside and the bed looked like something they just quickly threw together. The metal frame was sticking out about 6 inches past the mattress all the way around. Also i was told on the phone it was a $50 pet fee ($25 per pet) but l yet when i showed up it had now changed to a $100 pet fee cash only and they would not provide a receipt.

Don’t to it!!

Well the homeless/drug addict lady sitting on the stairs going to the room was the 1st red flag. Management knew she was there too?? The room was old, everything was clean but looked old and dingy. The walls had god knows what on them. Went down to the pool just to check it out and the side wall was green. So we couldn’t swim there. This place is for the locals that need a place to sleep, drug users and all are welcome. Not a family place, not a clean place and it is worth every penny to stay down the street for $30 bucks more.
