No heat and ceiling falling in and has bugs. I couldn't even stay there
This hotel does not deserve a single star. Honestly, it should not even exist.
Calling this place a “hotel” is an insult to hotels. It feels more like a shelter for homeless people than a place meant for travelers. The reality has nothing in common with the photos online — those pictures must be at least 20 years old.
The ceilings are leaking. The building is in terrible condition and feels unsafe. Police were coming to the property almost every evening. There are drug dealers and random suspicious people walking around at all hours.
The room conditions are shocking:
• No door in the bathroom
• No shower curtain
• No toilet paper
• No towels
• No lamp
• No basic amenities at all
The walls are completely damaged and dirty. There is zero sanitation. The bed is almost falling apart.
And the worst part — cockroaches and bed bugs everywhere. In the bed, on the bed, crawling over your belongings. It’s absolutely disgusting and unacceptable.
I genuinely do not understand how this place is still operating. It should be shut down and demolished. Staying here is a nightmare and a health risk.
Avoid at all costs.
No towels, no tissue, no hot water, shower not working, half the outlets don't work, unpleasant smell

There was no flooring, the first half of the hallway had no doorknobs, there were no tv's, the room was gross, the front desk had everything from toilet paper to towels because it couldnt be ke I walked out told my kids I thought i finally booked the hotel that killed us and left
This property was shutdown by the Memphis police back in 2024. Reopened with sane issues. Gang activity, staff incompetent. Resistants clean rooms. Dont stay here if you value your life. Please liok up this hotel on Google
No hot water not water coming out the bathtub no tv the heater blew cold air had to be under the cover all night just to stay warm in 20 degree weather this is a horrible place
It was neither a hotel nor a Motel, it was a place for the homeless, dirty, and unsafe. Think it is irresponsible for Expedia, as a reliable enterprise, to include a place like this in our hotel list.
Once I arrived, there was no room available when I got to the hotel. Not because they were full; there were no clean rooms. This was around 2 or 3 in the evening. I had to sit in the lobby with my belongings for close to an hour I had to settle for a room that was not clean nor up to par. The bed sheets had dried up blood on them. The facility was filthy and there was violence throughout the night which made me feel very unsafe. I was not pleased at all with but stay there.

This hotel is not at all like the photos in the listing. Carpet ripped up, drug deal in parking lot, paint peeling, lightbulbs missing in hall ways, no staff at front desk, run down part of town. Very scary looking. We cancelled reservation and booked elsewhere.
