Privacy due to motel-style exterior access
Cons:

Categories

Cleanliness
2.6
Consistently negative in reviews: stained sheets, roaches (dead and live), blood in bathrooms, dirty floors, wet/ leak-damaged floors, strong bleach smell — overall poor housekeeping and pest issues.
Service
8.3
Mixed but some positive notes: several reviewers called staff friendly or cited a nice desk clerk. There are service failures (day-of cancellation, slow/poor support for refunds, disputes over towels/sheet changes), but front-desk interactions were sometimes helpful — rated slightly above average to compensate for other low scores.
Location
8.5
Mixed mentions: some found the property convenient and private, while others noted city noise, safety concerns (doors opening to street) and problematic people loitering nearby. Overall location access/privacy referenced positively enough to be rated above target.
Room Quality
3.2
Multiple reports of poor room condition: patched ceilings, torn cabinets, stained sheets, dirty microwaves, smells (cigarette/weed), and minimal bedding quality; occasional acceptable mattress but overall worn and in need of repair.
Amenities
3.6
Negatively mentioned or lacking: reviewers noted no real amenities, no extras, issues getting fresh towels/linens, and a motel layout rather than hotel amenities — limited offerings and poor upkeep.
Value for Money
3.4
Several complaints about charges: double charges, cancelled reservations with lost time/money, deposit/confusion, refusal of refunds and high price relative to quality — poor value for many guests.
Food and Beverage
4.8
Standard quality for this hotel tier
Overall Experience
4
Overall negative-leaning guest experience: numerous 'never again' type comments, significant cleanliness and maintenance failures, noise and safety concerns, though a few guests had acceptable stays or positive staff interactions.

Hotel cancelled on me day of stay
Pros:

At 11:45 AM on day of stay, the hotel contacted me to tell me they did not have a room for me because another guest had overstayed their reservation. They told me to contact Hotels.com to cancel as they could not do it on their end. Hotels.com's only support option was virtual chat which told me to wait a few minutes, disabled typing, and didn't unlock for 2 days.

Overall good
Pros:

It was clean but the bleach smell was super strong but got used to it. Looked very clean. Air was kind of weird and couldn’t change it easily but overall comfortable. The blankets were thin. Not plushy but mattress was good. The man at the desk was nice. The set up with the window kind of makes me wonder about safety.

Pros:

The bedsheets and towels were dirty (staff gave me a hard time about switching them out because they would have to wash the sheets (didn’t have extra), the rooms are non-smoking, yet the first room I was checked into smelled like an ashtray. The room I ended up with was dirty (microwave, floor, mysterious yellow crusted liquid on the back of the bathroom door!?!?) and I could smell weed walking by the rooms next to the front office. BTW, this is a MOTEL meaning the doors open up to the street, not a Hotel (opens up to an indoor hallway) which is safer if you’re a single female on travel.
