They were never at the desk, and never did any housekeeping. We would leave for the day and come back and our sheets hasn't been changed and old towels would still be outside the door. I get that it was the holidays, but thats no reason not to do your job with excellence. It wasnt a terrible experience but it wasn't quality either.

There was a bunch of drunk people wandering in the parking lot and sitting on the stairs. The breakfast had the same stale couple of bagels that we there when we checked in. The toilet did not flush well. Kept getting clogged for no reason. The floor was slimy and sticky. Had to wear shoes the entire time. Because the floor was so nasty. The coffee pot was full of coffee grounds and old coffee from someone not knowing how to use it so there was no coffee. Could not find a person that actually was in the entire place so I could show them the issues. The room smelled like old cigarettes and stale beer. Very bad

Nothing particularly but please clean the floor as it feels wet and greasy to walk on and feel dirty inside the room. I would recommend putting a lock on the back door before unwanted people walking in and rob or disturb the guest. My wife doesn’t feel safe staying there.

Na!
Just an overnight stay. Won't be coming back. Checkin was at a kiosk talking to a guy, who knows where he was at. Only one employee seen while we were there, he was cleaning our room. Only good thing was the bed was actually comfortable. View out the window was the abandoned part of the hotel, all boardedup.

We stayed here for almost a week, in this week we didn’t get room service once. Had to reactivate the keycards every single day multiple times because of “system issues”. entirety of staff smoked so the entire building smelled like smoke. Unsafe part of town, Ubers are very very spotty. Unsafe, drivers and driving conditions around property no food or amenities nearby within walking distance. Staff is unfriendly and on some occasions, rude. Honestly, only recommend in emergency situations. It will give you a bad and a place to sleep, but it will not be an enjoyable time.

We have been there several times. It is clean and affordable which are most important to me. We had to have help to get the tv started ( only waited 10 minutes), but then the volume was stuck at a very loud setting. Also, the air conditioning couldn’t be turned down. it was 58 degrees or turn it off.

Room wasn’t in the best condition. Floors had trash that should have been swept. Tub was dirty and toilet smelled like urine. Manager had her boyfriend there kicking it so she had to put on clothes to come down to speak with me. Bed was filthy and the couch mattress was nasty..

Don’t stay here if you can help it!
Check in was ok. Gentleman helping us virtually was nice. There was an issue with our key and someone had to come help us. She was rude and not helpful. Room was awful. Bed was so uncomfortable . You can actually see the imprints in it where everyone has slept. Room was Damp, moldy and musty smelling. Husband and I both woke up ill. Breakfast was to be out at 6:30. At 7:15 nothing was there but yesterday’s bread. Not even condiments for coffee. Tv and internet went out shortly after we got there and was out all night. While I was showering, the knob fell off the shower. Property area was dirty and several homeless people hanging around property all night. All in all I do NOT recommend staying here.

My son and I were very disappointed with this motel, 1) There was no clerk on duty - only a video screen with a person monitoring the area. I have no idea if he was onsite somewhere or not. There were no instructions about what to do - just a person eventually calling out if they could help us. 2) The FREE breakfast was almost non-existent, so I guess that's why it was free. There was some cereal, but no milk. There was a waffle maker with no instructions and a broken timer so it was challenging to make a waffle. There were no yogurt, fresh fruit, or rolls available. 3) Room was clean, but there was only 1 bath towel and 1 hand towel, and 3 wash clothes in the bathroom even though there were two of us and we had the room booked in advance so they knew we were coming. 4) We booked for 2 nights, but our keycards expired after the first day. They issued new ones, but when I tried mine, it didn't work so I had to go back down to the video screen to get a new one. 5) All of the other motel building were boarded up and run down and a flock of vultures visited the site every morning. 6) When I checked out, I wanted a receipt which they could not print and needed my email address to send it. I hope you read this before you book. Thanks.
