Staff was not customer service friendly and the room conditions weren’t ideal
2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice room setup

Great room. Helpful maids. Easy parking. My only complaint, there was toilet water on the bathroom floor, the first time I used it. I thought it was a leak, but no. It was just there for some reason. Also, if a place serves breakfast, I think they should start early, for those in town for work, and not just travelers passing thru.
Bryan, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

Floors were covered in dirt/ dust. Very gritty feeling to walk on. The elevators are cut off at 9pm and is a big hassle! Staff was not very polite

2/10 Poor

The information on Expedia made me feel this was a safe, clean hotel. It was everything but that. Thankful I was able to cancel the second night that was reserved and receive a credit for that night.

Yuck

Very outdated, room was grungy and I saw a roach. I immediately checked out and they would only refund one night!
Lisa, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The rooms need painting and curtains replaced. Outside area needs some cleaning done
Robert, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Pretty disappointing

Various hairs, not mine all over in bathroom, no stopper in sink. No dispenser for toilet paper just sat on ledge, splashes of stuff on the wall. Drug dealsnoutnof another room fri nite and what sounded like a porn shoot above me sat nite for 90 minutes then 4 people left the room empty 1:30 am. Daily breakfast offered was coffee, sunny D and a tiny granola bar. Not doing again there
Jennifer, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Dirty and unkind service but fast interet
wooyoung, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I rented 11 rooms for an event. One person had to abandon their room (and stay elsewhere) because the carpet was wet throughout the entire hotel room. Two other people left in the middle of the night, and the rest were all traumatized, because of the very loud stand-off between the police and someone they were arresting, right outside of the hotel rooms, in a guns-drawn stand-off.
Martha, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

You know youve chosen poorly when there is a list on the wall of the cost of everything in the room if it disappears
wayne, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

There was a car on blocks in the parking lot. The room smelled and looked like a bunch of people smoked weed right before I came in. There was no smoke detector in the room. The shower was dirty at the bottom and the toilet seat was broken.

Do Not Stay Here

I'm very sorry I did not read the reviews. The reviews on here (Hotels.com) are pretty bad but OMG....read the ones on other platforms. All 100% true. EXTREMELY RUDE young lady at the front desk. No "hello-welcome." She looked perturbed that she had to get up from the couch to check me in. The neighborhood and outside of the building seemed sketchy. The room was actually okay. Old fashioned-not modern at all - torn curtains.....but decent and seemed clean. But after reading reviews on other platforms I probably didn't look close enough. There was ZERO free breakfast to speak of so I went to Starbucks to get my own breakfast only to come back and find out I'm locked out of the building. After several doorbell rings someone unlocked it. Lots of LOUD construction going on across the hall. I might have been able to overlook a lot of things but after my initial HORRIBLE customer service upon check-in......I will never go back and never recommend this place. We work hard for our money and we are not going to be treated terribly when we spend it at your establishment. A smile and a warm welcome helps set the tone for a traveler new to your hospitality.

2/10 Poor

NO BREAKFAST AS OFFERED OR PICTURED. Breakfast room had construction materials in it. Dirty. Moldy ceiling, rust on all metal including towel rack. Flies in the room. Trash cans all over property were over flowing. Someone locked the door to the stars and manager said to use elevator. No smoking but both female and male staff smoking.
Lorraine, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The owner lied an told me there was no rooms available, but when I went online I was able to book a room. I feel like he was discriminating me for being a younger African American woman. Then he proceeded to put me in a room where the TV was broken an the lights did not work.
Tiyessha, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Sadly my room smelled clean but I have bad allergies to mold and dust which causes my airways to close up when in that environment. I was coughing had to use my emergencies inhaler multiple times throughout the night. I did see mold in the shower but there must be more in the room i stay in cause i jad a sleepless night.
1-night trip

2/10 Poor

They gave us room on 3rd floor. We saw was garbage outside every room when we got to our room. We went down to get our luggage from car the elevator was shut down but without any sign or warning. There were people yelling in the parking lot. The front desk refused to let us back in from the front door as they told that room doesn't exit. However my partner was in room so I asked front to call my partner in the room so that she can come down to help me haul the luggage through stairs as I am a disabled individual.
