There was a bunch of drunk people wandering in the parking lot and sitting on the stairs. The breakfast had the same stale couple of bagels that we there when we checked in. The toilet did not flush well. Kept getting clogged for no reason. The floor was slimy and sticky. Had to wear shoes the entire time. Because the floor was so nasty. The coffee pot was full of coffee grounds and old coffee from someone not knowing how to use it so there was no coffee. Could not find a person that actually was in the entire place so I could show them the issues. The room smelled like old cigarettes and stale beer. Very bad

Nothing particularly but please clean the floor as it feels wet and greasy to walk on and feel dirty inside the room. I would recommend putting a lock on the back door before unwanted people walking in and rob or disturb the guest. My wife doesn’t feel safe staying there.

We stayed here for almost a week, in this week we didn’t get room service once. Had to reactivate the keycards every single day multiple times because of “system issues”. entirety of staff smoked so the entire building smelled like smoke. Unsafe part of town, Ubers are very very spotty. Unsafe, drivers and driving conditions around property no food or amenities nearby within walking distance. Staff is unfriendly and on some occasions, rude. Honestly, only recommend in emergency situations. It will give you a bad and a place to sleep, but it will not be an enjoyable time.

We have been there several times. It is clean and affordable which are most important to me. We had to have help to get the tv started ( only waited 10 minutes), but then the volume was stuck at a very loud setting. Also, the air conditioning couldn’t be turned down. it was 58 degrees or turn it off.

Room wasn’t in the best condition. Floors had trash that should have been swept. Tub was dirty and toilet smelled like urine. Manager had her boyfriend there kicking it so she had to put on clothes to come down to speak with me. Bed was filthy and the couch mattress was nasty..

Don’t stay here if you can help it!
Check in was ok. Gentleman helping us virtually was nice. There was an issue with our key and someone had to come help us. She was rude and not helpful. Room was awful. Bed was so uncomfortable . You can actually see the imprints in it where everyone has slept. Room was Damp, moldy and musty smelling. Husband and I both woke up ill. Breakfast was to be out at 6:30. At 7:15 nothing was there but yesterday’s bread. Not even condiments for coffee. Tv and internet went out shortly after we got there and was out all night. While I was showering, the knob fell off the shower. Property area was dirty and several homeless people hanging around property all night. All in all I do NOT recommend staying here.

My son and I were very disappointed with this motel, 1) There was no clerk on duty - only a video screen with a person monitoring the area. I have no idea if he was onsite somewhere or not. There were no instructions about what to do - just a person eventually calling out if they could help us. 2) The FREE breakfast was almost non-existent, so I guess that's why it was free. There was some cereal, but no milk. There was a waffle maker with no instructions and a broken timer so it was challenging to make a waffle. There were no yogurt, fresh fruit, or rolls available. 3) Room was clean, but there was only 1 bath towel and 1 hand towel, and 3 wash clothes in the bathroom even though there were two of us and we had the room booked in advance so they knew we were coming. 4) We booked for 2 nights, but our keycards expired after the first day. They issued new ones, but when I tried mine, it didn't work so I had to go back down to the video screen to get a new one. 5) All of the other motel building were boarded up and run down and a flock of vultures visited the site every morning. 6) When I checked out, I wanted a receipt which they could not print and needed my email address to send it. I hope you read this before you book. Thanks.

I stayed from July 3rd through July 6th. Check in was through a kiosk. We asked for an extra key (2-bed room) and the Kiosk jammed. We came back about an hour later and got the extra key. Breakfast was served from 6:30am to 9am. I arrived at 7:45 am and most everything was gone. There was a few pieces of toast, not butter. Pancake batter was used up and no one was around to replenish. There was no hot water for a shower at 8:30am. I shower at 5:30am to get the hot water and it lasted for about 4 minutes of my 5 -6 minute shower. The last day there was no hot water at 5:30am either. Shower early and quickly. The smoke alarm was on the floor next to the fridge (wires hanging from the ceiling). there was no dresser and only one hanger. The towel bar in the bathroom was missing from the wall - the right side was attached but the left and the bar was missing. the toilet seat was attached on one side but lose on the other. The TV would not work. I had someone from the staff look at it and she could not get it to work either. She said the manager would come by but I did not see anyone when I was there. I had plans and not able to hang out for a manager about a TV. I was told it was the Wifi was out and effecting the TV. They said it would probably be Sunday or Monday when it would be fixed (I checked out Saturday). I checked with another guest and they were not having a problem with their TV so it is unlikely a Wifi issue.

Problems and pluses.
There are many good things about the hotel such as cleanliness inside, sweet staff, a spacious room and a super comfy bed. There are a few really bad things as well, such as pretty expensive especially for a week stay at over$445. That there is no pool which for a property this size is crazy. They are under construction and I sat for 15 mins waiting for a person to check me in only to be told that you have to use a kiosk where you are talking to a person on a screen that checks you in which I didn't like at all. One of my main issues is that the free breakfast that was shown on the website, which is one of the reasons I chose here, has nothing that is shown as the breakfast on the website. It was supposed to have sausage biscuits, oatmeal, fruit, juice, etc. I was there for a week and the only thing that they have is the tired waffles, cereal, milk, toast and coffee.
