Pros:

The establishment was horrible. There were junkies outside of the building with multiple vehicle sitting on blocks with busted out windows in the parking lot I would not recommend this place at all Expedia should look into this establishment and not promote it at all. I would like a full refund.

Don't do it!!
Pros:

Absolutely do NOT do it!! The pics on the website are not accurate. This place is beyond rundown. The mattress was on the floor. The only light in the room was the bathroom. Tweakers EVERYWHERE! I have never felt more unsafe in my life. Ghetto!

NO Controls and/ or batteries repeatedly.
Pros:

TWO stays recent, one terrible, other ‘ok’ while same staff lazy; exceptionally challenging including shifting rooms repeatedly to find even simple tv. Seems as well, remote controls required taken so frequently; seems they gave up n idea maintaining nearly any; at least with batteries or at least correct size replacement for control if able find. Failure stock batteries, really? Having good viewing monitors nice while NO controls good as NO entertainment monitor at all. Seemed maybe particular staff unable satisfactorily and timely resolve if AT ALL. Hope helps owner and understanding on part of employees. Twice in row, different weeks yet NO Controls.

Pros:

I couldnt stay there for the visit. I stayed elsewhere on the 18th. I checked out the following morning and requested a refund for the time i didnt stay.

When i went to the room the door was open. The toilet did not flush. There was some trash on the floor of the room. There was no trash can to put it in. At the top of the stairs there was a bag of garbage that had flies around it and smelled of rotten food. I didnt even unpack. I just packed up and left.

Pros:

It took 20 minutes to get checked in. Then when I went around to where my room was the pavement had significant potholes and lighting was poor. Then I went up the stairs to my room there was no lighting on the staircase and I fell scraping my knee. I get to the room and the door is propped open, there was a brown substance on the bedspread and it was all wrinkled up like someone had been lying on it and the remote was on the bed. there were towels by the door and on the floor in the bathroom, the curtains were wrinkly and worn. the walkway to the room was a mess. trash all over. This was the worst hotel I have ever been at. EVER! I would not recommend. I felt very unsafe. there were lots of people just walking around and driving around the hotel. I went to the front and checked out.

Pros:

Travelodge normally is a very very respectful property and company. Unfortunately this Travelodge looked like it was just bombed out or currently in the middle of construction remodeling. As I pulled up in my Uber, I actually thought that the Uber driver delivered me to the wrong address. Because the hotel look like it was abandoned and has not been occupied for at least 5 years. I don't know exactly what they're doing or what's going on but whatever it is they need to hurry up and fix it. The rooms, we're very plain Bree ordinary strike that.. less than ordinary no amenities. Would not suggest

Pros:

Our room looked nothing like what the pictures looked like. The sheets were dirty, our bathroom was never cleaned. The shower was leaking and was impossible to turn off after being turned on. There was no hot water. The shower and sink didn’t drain. The staff never brought us more pillows or towels like we asked. It felt very unsafe as we could see outside with our door shut.
