2/10 Poor

The Worst Motel
The room was terrible. Only I towel and it was old and stained. It was supposed to be white! I will never stay at this dump again. The property owner needs to update the motel and take some pride in their business cause it’s so bad. There was also no TV remote and the TV did not work.

2/10 Poor

Worst hotel imaginable.
BEWARE DO NOT STAY HERE! skid row. Mentally unstable, Homeless drug addicts, room was filthy and run down. mattress had huge dark stain that looked like someone died on it. Cockroach leg stuck to towel, big wad of curly long hair in sheets. The place stinks. allergies triggered immediately upon walking in Hotel.com will take your money to reserve, the hotel makes you sign before letting you see the room, and then refuse a refund when you find the conditions unacceptable. SCAM TO STEAL YOUR MONEY!!! I’ve traveled around the world and stayed in some questionable 3rd world places and this is far worse than anything I have ever seen. We abandoned the room, returned the key card to the front desk, and will be initiating a traveler insurance/ credit card chargeback. Absolutely horrifying place and experience. You have been warned.
Someone died on this
“Clean towels?”
Peel the sheets back to find this?we both have short hair 🤮

Terrible place to stay !
This place should be condemned. I’ve stayed in better hotels in third world countries! Towels looked like they use them to clean the floors. Found two roaches in the room. Never again !!!!!!

2/10 Poor

I booked a "Suite" for 7 people. It turned out to be a single room with three beds, 7 pillows! Place was infested with bugs, the walls had seeral unfinished paint jobs, toilet was worn and the sink looked like an unfinished construction one. The front desk lady did not speak full english. And at night several times police cars where making rounds thru the parking lot and behind the hotel, not sure why. Will never use this hotel again!!
