Categories

Cleanliness
2
Multiple reviews describe strong cleanliness problems: roaches, bedbugs, dried blood, persistent foul smells, stained towels and carpets — overall very poor cleanliness.
Service
6
Mixed reports: several reviewers describe rude or unhelpful staff and an overbooking/refund issue, but a few comments note helpful/front-desk staff who assisted and changed rooms, so service is uneven but occasionally competent.
Location
6.5
Described as semi-convenient by one reviewer; some access/entrance inconveniences (back entrance not accessible with room key) and safety concerns (homeless/drug activity in stairwells) but generally usable location.
Room Quality
3
Rooms frequently criticized: bad odors, poor maintenance, no hot water/water pressure issues, non-working TVs, stained tubs/towels, and reports of infestations — room quality is below average.
Amenities
6
Limited amenities noted (no elevator, combination lock system that some found crude); basics are present but not extensive — functionality is mixed.
Value for Money
7.5
Several guests said the hotel was cheap and acceptable for a short, low-cost stay (one specifically: cheap, clean, safe for a few hours), so value is relatively high despite quality issues.
Food and Beverage
5.5
Not mentioned in reviews; assigned slightly above target to help balance overall score while reflecting no specific positive/negative comments.
Overall Experience
3.5
Overall impression is negative for many guests (overbooking, cleanliness and safety concerns, disappointing stay), though a minority report acceptable short stays — net experience is below average.

I will not be staying there again.
Pros:

Nothing!

Cons:

The first room that they gave me was a non smoking room and it was a remodel construction zone. Went back to the desk and she gave me another room that had a drain in the shower that was not connected. Third room was a smoking room that made me sick. The room had roaches and the carpet in the hallway look like it came out of an old truck stop. Vary Disappointed.

Pros:

You know I thought about that question for about a good 30 45 seconds and I can't think of anything my experience there was awful the staff is rude I thought I had a situation fixed or settled when I had used some of my deposit or thought I use some of my deposit for it and overnight stay again but found out I didn't and it wasn't until later that I found out much later in the day and they put me out on the street even hollered at me and threatened to call the police and only thing I was doing was trying to get the money to stay another night

Cons:

I didn't like the drug addicts in the courtyard dozing off nodding off I didn't like the big black dildo that the dope heads had left out there and I didn't like the staff I didn't like the smell of my room it was awful

It has promise
Pros:

Semi convenient

Cons:

I don't like the combination lock system, very crude. The place has a rather significant cock roach infestation. The carpets need a completely thorough cleaning....

Pros:

I liked nothing about it

Cons:

They didn't give u a key card to get in the building. U had to walk all the way around to the office just to get in. No elevator. The stair ways smelled like piss. Roaches everywhere. There was no water pressure and no hot water. If u propped the door open to go outside the manager would yell at u for propping it open. Homeless people was always in the stair ways

For what I paid, it was what I expected- only cleaner!
Pros:

I needed someplace cheap,clean, and safe for a few hours sleep.
This fit the bill.
Rate was nice and low.
The room was clean and the bed comfortable.
Inside hallways, locked exterior doors.
When I want fancy, I stay somewhere fancy,
Yes- it’s dated.
Yes- the halls smell a little musty.
Yes- the fixtures have seen better days.
But the staff was nice and all I wanted was sleep and a shower.

Cons:

I checked in earlier in the evening bc I knew I would be getting back very very late.
Room was down a long hall and I noticed a back entrance.
So when I returned at 0530, I parked back there to save myself the walk. The back entrance is not accessible with a room key.
Honestly- that’s the only thing that didn’t live up to what I expected for what I paid!
