I knew going in that this wasn’t a top-rated hotel, so my expectations were reasonable. However, there are some basic issues that could easily be addressed to improve the guest experience and overall ratings.
During my stay, I found roaches in the room, the top of the fridge was dirty, and there was an exposed electrical outlet—serious safety concerns. The linens were worn out, the furniture was stained, and the door card reader was unreliable and often took multiple tries to work.
Small improvements and attention to detail would go a long way in making this place more comfortable and better reviewed. Cleanliness and basic maintenance shouldn’t be overlooked, no matter the hotel rating.
Cockroaches! Enough said. Shabby and run-down - broken washers & dryers, pool closed, dirty carpet throughout. Unsafe are, neighboring buildings had armed guards patrolling their lot. I would NEVER recommend this hotel.
Do not stay here. This was a horrible experience. Pictures on Expedia not true reflection of property. The hotel smelled horrible. Had to hold my breath from elevator to my room due to the stench. Felt very unsafe on property. Appeared part of the hotel was being used for housing. We had to switch rooms mid stay due to noise from room above us. The new room had wet carpet from the air conditioning unit to under our bed. I left two days early with no refund. No reflection on the staff and I feel this is more management but stay away from this hotel!
The room was fairly clean; however, the recliner was very dirty. Kitchen cupboard was falling apart (literally) on the inside and there was a missing cabinet or vent above the stove. The bathroom vanity was missing a door and support on the right side of its shelf. Tub was clean, but appeared to be very dirty. Unpleasant smells in the hallways and rooms.
The room was infested with roaches!..
we had to leave the room around 3 am since the condition of the place was unsanitary!.. they did not have another room to offer us..
Very disappointed it was a horrible experience !.
Were given one room. Went upstairs to room. Walked in and it smelled of urine. Went back down stairs and given a new room. The room smelled very musty. Had to buy air freshner to help. No hand soap in the bathroom and no hair dryer.
There was bugs and the sheets on the bed was dirty or stained but I think dirty because there was hair in the bed. The mattress on the sleeper sofa was so dirty it looked like sumn from a murder scene and it was so thin you could feel the springs from the frame. The air vent to the bedroom didn’t work and it was hot in the bedroom.
There were only 2 big towels. Not hand towels, wash cloths, or bath mat. The suites only have an air conditioner in the living room not the bedroom. Its old and has really gone down since i stayed 2 uears ago.
