I arrived at the property around 8:30 pm on 1/12/24. I was given a room on the second floor immediate by the stirs case. The room had a very strong bad odor . Contacted the manager and i was moved to Super 8 next door room 201. Upon entering i liked the room and it looked clean but i couldn’t fall asleep as the room was too hot and the AC was broken . During the struggle , i found a bed bug on the bed. Went to the office and i was moved to room 108 at 1:30 a.m. finally I was able to rest for the night after a long struggle. The Staff at the place were attentive and helpful. The sheets , chairs, and bed were dirty . It was hard to sleep in a felty environment. I should get a refund for 7/12/24 as I didn’t receive a proper place to rest . I have pictures to provide upon request forbed bug and felty bed sheets.

I went to the office and was directed to another hotel next door to check in. When I got there, there was no staff in the office. I rang the bell and called both hotels and no one answered at either. I waited for more than 5minutes for someone to come and help me. The room was fine for the price. The bed is uncomfortable and the floors were dirty.

Place is filthy, I have no clue how it has 7 stars on Expedia. Booked it last second as a cheap but well reviewed motel through Expedia. Was in a bad part of town but didn’t think much of it. Checked in and was horrified by the room. Dried blood, brown and yellow streaks of who knows what all over the comforter, pillows and sheets. Hair and dust on the beds, floors, countertops. Nonsmoking room reeked like a chain-smoker lived there. Tub and toilet were stained by more than just hard-water. Took a look around the room and my girlfriend and I left. The cherry on top is they refused to give us a refund and Expedia offered me $25 as a “sorry”. Will never book through them again, 7 stars for this place are you kidding me? Took a lot of photos of the room before we left as proof.

Dirty and disrespectful
For starters, the room was disgusting when I checked in. The tv didn’t work, the phone didn’t work to call for help with the tv and everything was filthy. That was fine, I finally had three days to just rest and re cooperate. But one the second morning, I was visited by three different members of staff all before 11am. The “do not disturb” sign had been taken the day before. The first was a cleaning lady who I declined because all I’m doing is laying in bed. The second was a gentleman rudely telling me that I needed to check out by 11. I had already paid for that night and had everything set up with the front desk prior to this gentleman coming in. Then the third person was another cleaning lady. I told her I didn’t need it, she basically accused me of being homeless and said something about not wanting this hotel to be like motel 6. She then looked inside the room, said everything was fine and left. I’ll never stay here again.
