Trash Motel not Hotel
Complete trash. Don’t come here! The service sucks! No WiFi code readily available. No actual breakfast just a lunch bag like if someone was in jail. Left me on the 3rd floor and tried to have me walk back and forth for my own service that I paid for.

Won't stay there again
The room was really dirty. The floors needed swept badly, the walls are covered in dirt and marks. The shower head leaked up into the ceiling, causing paint to peel off. One of the tables in the room was completely broken off, with the top over the TV stand. The beds weren't too bad, but the pillows are crap. One good thing was there was no bed bugs; that is the first thing I check at any hotel I stay at. The rooms basically did not look like the pictures; the pictures are 100% catfishing pics. I wouldn't stay there again. The managers were nice, though.

Advertised pretty much as budget luxury hotel (check out the pics online). Drove into the parking lot dodging several apparently homeless people just hanging out. Had to be buzzed into the office through a rickety steel security door. Manager was definitely unfriendly and hard to understand. My wife and I went up to our room after check-in and were knocked back by the stench of stale smoke, stale urine and a combination of cleaning products futilely trying to cover it. Paint in horrible condition with splotches of mismatched faded and peeling colors, handprints, and drips of unknown origin. Found insects crawling on the floor. After encountering this nightmare scenario and looking down to the parking lot from the room to see random people looking into random parked cars, we decided to get out ASAP. Went to the office to inform the manager we were leaving due to the conditions we encountered and to get a refund. Manager refused to refund us a single penny. He said no refunds 15 minutes or more after check-in. Then he chuckled! This is far and away the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had. Expedia should be ashamed to have such a place on their site. STAY AWAY! DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE!

Definitely wasn't what the pictures showed. I thought we were staying in a more upscale hotel, comparable to Hilton or Hampton, but it seemed like the rooms were under construction still. They had new floors but the bathrooms needed upgrading. There were some shady people hanging about that might've been living there? They made us feel unsafe. You also have to ring the door bell to get to the front desk...should've been a sign to not stay. Good to lay your head down but really not worth the money spent - aaaand, we got a "discount" thru one of the booking sites.
