All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Directions to the property were unclear, the property was not visible from the interstate and after driving around in circles for well over an hour we were greeted by a locked door and a NO VACANCIES sign with a phone number that went unanswered. I finally got a room nextdoor at the Roadway Inn, with an overnight staff, a very comfortable room and plenty of parking. To add insult to injury they charged me for the room at the OYO even though we were unable to stay there.
Did not get to stay, system issue and overbook rooms

Avoid this hotel!
Several of us could not check in. There was no one there. We called for help and got none. I then read some reviews where others had to sleep in their call. Fortunately, I found an alternative hotel
worst attitude. dr*gs everywhere. bed bugs. other guest asking for money for s*xusl services. employees offering room numbers for “happy endings”. parking was minimal
Couldn't even get my room, claimed overbooked. Service was terrible, receptionist was gone for an hour before I could even talk to her, just to get a curt, rude explanation that I no longer have the room I payed for.
They stole our money just look at the reviews. These people are stealing your money. Expedia rep booked this hotel for me and when my husband arrived, they have a note saying they’re not there after 11 so this is fraud they should not make you pay just to keep your money, don’t stay here. They are greedy and just take peoples money. They should not allow you to rent a room if they are not available. They have all horrible reviews.
This place sucked. Stay as far away from this place as possible. That’s if they even let you check in. The hotel staff is extremely hateful, disrespectful, and displays the direct reflection of how much they hate their life.
When I arrived the rude clerk behind the bulletproof glass told me they were fully booked up and that I would not and could not check in.
I said politely, I don’t understand? I have a prepaid room.
Forcefully and rudely reiterated that I would not be checking in.
Finally, she asked me if I had made my reservation on Expedia. I said yes, and she asked my name and she looked down and muttered apparently to herself “That wasn’t there before”, looked right back up at me and told me they were overbooked and I could not check in.
I left her there raging in her cage and went and checked in at yet another Hampton Inn
