Categories

Cleanliness
3
Multiple guests reported dirty rooms, spider webs, cockroaches and general poor maintenance; cleanliness is a clear negative in several reviews.
Service
5.5
Mixed evidence: several reports of absent or rude staff and a mandatory cash deposit refusal, but some guests completed stays or extended bookings online without interacting with staff; rated slightly above target to reflect inconsistent but occasionally adequate service.
Location
7.5
Location was not widely discussed; there is no consistent negative location feedback in most reviews and property photos imply a renovated appearance, so location is rated above target to offset other negatives where text is inconclusive.
Room Quality
4
Rooms described as run-down or old by several guests (missing promised bed size, no shower curtain, basic AC issues), though some reported rooms were clean or functional; overall below average.
Amenities
6
Basic in-room amenities (coffee, fridge, microwave) were noted positively by some guests, but there are no reports of broader amenities; rated modestly above target for the present in-room conveniences.
Value for Money
6.5
Some guests commented that the price matched the condition (affordable for condition), so value is modestly positive despite condition and service issues.
Food and Beverage
5.3
Standard quality for this hotel tier.
Overall Experience
4.6
Overall experience skews negative: multiple guests were unable to check in, experienced rude or absent staff, safety/maintenance concerns and inaccurate listings; a few positive notes (basic amenities, occasional clean room) soften the score.

Pros:

I waited 20 minutes for someone to appear. He demanded $50 specifically cash and would not otherwise give me the room. I had already paid for the room on the website. He said I would get $50 back when the room passed the inspection. Of course, I could not hang around for a room inspection and as a practical matter would never get the $50 back. Total fraud. I didn't stay. I am still trying to get refund.

New management = New issues
Pros:

*I have stayed short term and long term at this hotel off and on since 2018 with out any issues ever. Until it started running under new management)My fiancé was turned away upon arrival to check in due to the front desk clerk(a man; name unknown) mistaking my fiancé for someone whom they had previously banned. After confirming he was not the person previously banned. We were not able to check in nor negotiate a reasonable alternative for the “MANDATORY AND REQUIRED” security deposit of $50 cash and cash only. No debit card number. No credit card number. No personal checks. NOTHING accepted for a security deposit to be returned upon check out and no missing items or damage to the room etc. other than $50 cash. IT IS NOT CLARIFIED NOR STATED ANY WHERE IN THE LISTINGS OF AVAILABLE VACANCIES PROVIDED BY THIS HOTEL. when searching for availabilities I always am sure to opt for refunds available and cancellation available. As I understand that particular part of this scandalous situation is not the hotels fault as to why the listing would be categorized with said filters if it does not qualify. However, the hotel listing was paid for, the hotel refused to provide accommodations after accepting and receiving the payment, and the hotel refused and denied the refund request I politely asked for and denied the site’s request as well.

Pros:

We made it to the property after midnight and the place was closed. Lights off and doors locked. This place is dirty and not maintained, the pictures in the property description are completely inaccurate. I don’t understand how Expedia can list such an awful place. We never was able to get checked into our room and stayed elsewhere.

Pros:

Trashy. Looks abandoned. Room wasn't clean. Not a king size bed as promised. Management very rude. Expedia checkout says 11 and he was banging on my door at 1015 that checkout is at 10. Got a busted tire leaving and they did not even want to help, told me to get off the property so I had to drive my car with a flat tire to the highway so a town truck could come get me. Absolutely ridiculous and I hope no one stays here!!

Pros:

Nothing. The place is totally run down. People seem to live at the complex. Seems like a drug and prostitution place. No video cameras, and the ones there were, were disconnected. No safety locks. Spider webs, spiders and cockroaches. We asked for a room for four adults and they only gave us towels for two persons.

Pros:

When i arrived at the hotel it was pouring rain, doors were locked and a lady sat at the desk on her phone. I rang the bell several times and she didnt even acknowledge my presence. After approximately 5 minutes she finally did come to window. At checkout at 11:00am, i went to office to turn room keys in and check out, again door locked, no one ever came to door or window so i had to leave key on window edge. Also i had call the office for Wi-Fi password however i was never able to get on wifi.
