I have never stayed in such a disgusting hotel. The pictures definitely don’t match what it actually looks like. The staff mentioned it was newly renovated. It was not, there were ants, roaches and flying spiders. The tub was stopped up with hair. The refrigerator and microwave was disgusting. The bed was super uncomfortable. With all of that being said, the staff were nice.

Ms. Shayla, I'm sorry that our Hotel didn't meet your expectations. As it states in Expedia's overview we are Currently under a Full Renovation of the entire Hotel that has just begun and will not be completed until early summer. We have been completely upfront with all the closures due to this entire remodel and we do not expect the Hotel to look anything like the pictures on the website that were taken some years ago. Also, I wish you would have come to speak with myself, or any other Member on Staff for an immediate room change, if there was any suspected insect activity in your room. We take things like that very seriously here and have a Team on call along with routine Maintenance Service to address any issues. As you did stay with us for 2 nights, it would be unthinkable for you to endure that, and we would have immediately accomodated you. We also have daily Housekeeping services and any issues in your bathroom, refrigerator, microwave, could have also been addressed. Again you complimented how friendly my staff was, I wish you might have given them a better chance to do what they do best! I hope you find another hotel that better suits your needs in the Future.

This looked like a decent, inexpensive place to stay but it was dirty, outdated and smelled like stale cigarette smoke. I did not feel safe. They took a $100 deposit for each room I booked even though the price for the night was only $60 a room. I was told the hold would stay on my account for 5-8 days. Would not recommend.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re surprised to hear about your experience, as our hotel prides itself on cleanliness, modern amenities, and guest safety, all of which have been recently enhanced under new management. The deposit is a standard industry procedure, aimed at maintaining our high standards. We understand our hotel might not be the right fit for everyone, and we hope you find accommodations that better meet your needs in the future.

Needs to be torn down
By far the worst hotel I’ve stayed at yet! It really needs to be updated or torn down ! The place smelled like old cigarettes and cheap cologne, the bedding was dirty and stained the ac and toilet was old and filthy!

I liked the overall look of the property especially inside and the room I stayed in. It was clean and in order. The only thing I did not like was the crack(s) in the shower floor that just need to be either sealed, fully covered, or replaced and small amount of TV channels. The overall price with Travelocity and customer service was great too. Keep up the great work and keep finding ways to improve! :)

Lady at check in wasn’t very friendly and gave bare minimum information. Once in the room it smelled musky but went away quickly. Around 12:30 am something started beeping we couldn’t figure out what and decided to leave around 2am because we couldn’t sleep told the front desk that’s why we were leaving they asked if we had checked the smoke detector then said they would look into it but the rest of our trip plans had been canceled

The property has a roach problem, as there were roaches in both rooms that I occupied. After the first night when I saw at least 6 roaches, I asked to be refunded for my upcoming second night and was told by the desk clerk she did not have the authority to grant that request. I was offered a different room for my second night and there were roaches in that room as well. I was was told management was not on site and was out of town for several days.

From check in to check out the hotel was a poor experience. I would not stay there again. Dilapidated hotel. Unfriendly check-in staff. The room reaked of old cigarette smoke, mirror was severely damaged, smoke detector hanging from ceiling, blood on the comforter and bed sheets, bath towels stained with dirt and make up, toliet seat with black marks. Went to front desk asked for new comforter and towels. I was given some old brown blanket and two more towels that's still did not look very clean. Obviously, this hotel is lacking customer service and housekeeping checks.
