Please stop! Stop! This is the most disgusting hotel in America. I see more gifts check and check out then actually check in unfortunately for me. I booked a six night day. It was refused to refund from hotel or Expedia. The carpet in the hallway had dead roach and trash for days. It was so bad I check out early because the bed was making me itch. While checking out, a family was leaving after going to their room and finding no toilet in the room.

Don’t stay here!!
Terrible stay. Besides floors were sticky… We were on the first floor and the lobby and halls were loud all night. Screaming and hollering. Sign at front seat (I have photo) saying they would be “right back” . In morning we left at 7am still sign out at front desk. Contacted comfort inn and they said nothing they could do because we didn’t put in a complaint at the front desk!! Terrible service and bad area! Don’t use this hotel

Do not stay
Hotel is terrible. Has lots of damages throughout the building. Lobby is very hot and smelled nothing but the weed. Room had missing blow dryer. The front desk person was NEVER there. Also the first night check in then went to an event and when return, someone else was inside the room they check me into! Was not happy to go back down to the front desk and no one was there. Even tried calling the hotel directly and NEVER answered. I will not be staying there again!!
