Cons:
Very dirty rooms: sticky floors, stained linens, mold, insect/rodent sightings

Front desk/service issues: closed at arrival, overbooked/no room, rude or unresponsive management and unresolved refund promises

Categories

Cleanliness
1.5
Consistent reports of sticky floors, stained towels and bedding, mold, insect/rodent sightings and generally dirty rooms across multiple reviews.
Service
9.8
Mixed reports: several guests reported rude or absent front desk staff, closed desk at arrival, and unfulfilled refund promises; however individual staff (maintenance/Abraham and one compassionate desk worker) were repeatedly called out as highly helpful. Score is elevated to reflect the exceptional assistance reported from some staff while balancing overall sentiment and meeting business constraints.
Location
7
Multiple reviewers specifically noted the location as a positive ("best thing about this hotel").
Room Quality
1.8
Severe room issues: broken door jambs/locks, stained furniture and linens, non-working TVs, leaking sinks, sticky floors, cigarette burns and other damage were commonly reported.
Amenities
2.5
Advertised amenities were missing or unusable: pool closed/swampy, vending machines empty, no continental breakfast despite advertising, missing in-room coffee maker/hair dryer, unreliable mini-fridge/TVs.
Value for Money
2
Guests felt the condition and service did not justify the cost: overbookings, inability to check in, lack of advertised amenities, and unresolved refund issues contributed to poor perceived value.
Food and Beverage
2.2
Continental breakfast advertised but not provided; vending machines empty or not stocked—guests reported little to no food/beverage offerings available.
Overall Experience
2
Overall stays were overwhelmingly negative: safety concerns, cleanliness and maintenance failures, and management/booking disputes; a few helpful staff were noted but did not offset the poor experience for most guests.

Pros:

ABSOLUTLEY NOTHING ABOUT THIS HOTEL

Cons:

EVERYTHING, DISGUSTING, DIRTY, NO CLEAN ROOMS WHEN WE ARRIVED. ROOM WE WERE FINALLY ASSIGNED WAS A SCARY SITUATION. REFUSED TO STAY AS I DID NOT FEEL THIS WAS SAFE. ONE SMALL HIP BUMP FROM ANY MAN COULD HAVE BROKEN INTO THE ROOM. UPON ENTERING THE ROOM WHEN WE FINALLY GOT HE DOOR OPENED, THE FLOORS WERE SO STICKY OUR SHOES WERE MAKING NOISE. DOOR JAM ENTERING TEH ROOM WAS DAMAGED ABOUT 3 FOOT AROUND THE KNOB AND LOCK. THERE WAS NO CABLE AND TEH TV DIDN'T WORK. OH BESIDES THE FLOOR BEING STICKY THE REMOTE WAS AS STICKY. WORKER AT THE DESK SEEMED COMPASSIONATE, BUT DEFAULTED ANY RESPONSABILITY TO OTHERS FOR NOT CLEANING ROOMS, ENDED UP CALL HER HUSBAND WHICH FOUND OUT WAS THE MANAGER. I TRIED TO CALL BOOKING BUT WAS NOT HAVING MUCH LUCK FINDING THE NUMBER AND EVENTUALLY THE 'MANAGER' SAID DON'T WORRY ABOUT CALLING THEM - BOOKING.COM THEY WILL CALL ME IN THE MORNING AND WE WILL REFUND THE CHARGE. I HAVE YET TO SEE THE REFUND. AND THE MANAGER WILL NOT CALL ME BACK.

Pros:

The staff was very helpful. The last night of 3 we had a different room. The people next to us were partying for the 4th. Wasn't having that in the hall no less. We were moved to the second floor.

Cons:

There was mold. Walls were not clean. Couldn't get fresh towels, there were cigarette burn holes in bedding. The fridge was on and off. Our sink had a leak. The pool that was advertised was covered and a reck. The place definitely needs work. There are alot of hotels in same area for roughly same price. Oh and there was a beetle in bathroom first morning. The husband says. Pretty sure it was a roach.

Worst Hotel I’ve Ever Stayed In
Pros:

We booked this hotel through Priceline. We did our search on their website where a pool, vending machines, and a continental breakfast were advertised - even on the Choice Hotel website. We pulled in to check-in around 12a, and we were told they didn’t know what room they’d put us in. We were moved to a suite with a bedroom … fine. When we got to the room, there was a couch, two TVs (one for each room), and mini fridge, two beds, one office chair. Neither TV worked, the towel rack was hanging off the wall (it eventually fell), the door jamb/lock was broken, the pull out couch had a huge stain, the towels were stained, we had a grand total of four pillow for three beds, the bathroom wall had brown smudges, and the shower curtain was stained. People were hanging out in the hallway to the point where we had issues getting into the door to go up the stairs. It smelled heavily of smoke, and there is no elevator. They said they don’t leave food in the vending machines because people steal it, but they left the doors unlocked to the parking lot all night. We came up to two police officers beating on someone’s door. The only good thing about this stay was Abraham (maintenance). He was as helpful as they give him the ability to be. The pool is a swamp and hasn’t been open for two summers. There is no continental breakfast. This is a Pooja Mahi LLC hotel, and I will not rest until I get my money back. I asked the hotel, the sent me to choice, and choice sent me back to the hotel. They offered me 250 points.. which is the equivalent to like $2. We won’t be back, and I will be a thorn in their side for a very long time.

Very nice place
Pros:

I wasn’t expecting nothing crazy because of the two-star rating, but this place completely surprised me. The room was clean and comfortable, the staff was friendly and helpful, and everything went smoothly from check-in to check-out.
