Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff was friendly and informative It was at night and we noticed that there were homeless individuals in the surrounding area where the hotel is located The Queen beds were clean and comfy The room had a coffee pot with complimentary coffee and cups, along with a microwave; however, the refrigerator was unplugged and hadn't been cleaned The TV and remote worked fine In regards to the environmeant of the hotel, we found it to be peaceful and quiet There was a refundable $50 deposit The hotel staff also accommodated my request for a room on the floor level We did have difficulty with the cards. It had to be swiped several times over before it would register and unlock Check in time was anytime before 12 AM Check out time was a bit confusing because the itinerary said between 10 and 11 AM I was told it was by 10 AM and my grandson was told it was by 10:30 AM It would be a good idea if they updated the information on there website Due to the hotel being a bit old, it had a musty smell which I liked because it reminded me of the old days and how buildings were built back then The price of $75 was reasonable for a 1 day and night stay for two people There were fast food and gas stations in the surrounding area within a few feet to a mile radius. And about 1/2 mile or so from the Valley Children's Stadium All in all, we would book a room there again Thank you for a pleasant stay

The conditions I encountered are completely unacceptable and do not reflect the images or descriptions you advertise. • The pool was completely empty and unusable. • The ice makers were filthy and covered in bird droppings. • The hallways had a strong smell of feces and urine. These unsanitary and unsafe conditions make the hotel unlivable and far from what was promised. I am shocked that the property is allowed to operate under such circumstances. I am requesting an immediate resolution, which includes a full refund and a formal acknowledgment of this complaint. Please advise how you plan to address these issues promptly.

Roaches

Hotel room smelled like old cigarettes and there were brown roaches in the bathroom, little ones around the sink and larger ones walking on the walls. There were strands of hair near the pillows in the bed. Not the best but also, its really inexpensive soooooo

The lobby, rooms and area was so smelly. The a/c was not working properly and it was so hot in the room. I had to change the room, that was also same and eventually I ended up moving to another hotel. This hotel was not at a safe place even. You can see homeless people all around!!!

Didn't like that there were cockroaches in the room. The room was filthy around the baseboards and wall plugs. Only able to access the inside one time using the slide key. and only able to get into the room one time with the slide key. Had to have the help of workers to access the room. It was very noisy late into the night. Outside the building was very unkept . All in all I would never ever recommend this hotel to anyone or ever stay there again.l
