This is no motel, this ia whack shack with homeless people loitering around, prostitution and drugs sale going even in bright daylight. Probably the best joint in town if you are looking for trouble.

drug hotel. people doing drugs, outside, in the lobby, in the hallway, the staff are on drugs. If you like meth or fentanyl and feeling unsafe stay here. Woke up and as soon as I stepped out the door a lady was nodding off in the hallway. This place should be shut down and not recommended on any travel site.

They didn't have my res. Had to find another motel for more. Homeless hangout in parking lot. A guest already checked in came down to desk to have them sweep and mop floor in his room. Terrible is a compliment for them. I would like a refund.

I never saw a room or bathroom because the owner/manager, who let me in through the bolted front door, said that she would feel uncomfortable renting to me. My Uber driver was hesitant to leave me there. The owner agreed that I not be charged. I walked a block and found a guest house. I'd like my refund and for Expedia to remove this "Inn" from your listings.

No free shuttle despite their listing saying they had a free shuttle. No reservation from Expedia. Staff could barely speak English. Slow and confused response and I said “well just come down here.” we told them no we’re canceling our reservation and we’re going somewhere else.

Oh my God. This place is surreal. Absolutely disgusting. I have stayed in many inexpensive places but this place should not be legally able to operate. Please save your money. We left and went to another hotel.

Did not stay here due to safety concerns. Felt like I was pulling up to a homeless shelter rather than a hotel. Bunch of people smoking up front and the door was locked. Also, appeared more run down and older than in the photos.

Well, we didn't stay at this hotel in Alaska. I canceled my reservations but couldn't get any refund. Booked for 3 nights, I called for cancellation on first day/night. They could have charged me for one day no problem, but they charged us the whole for 3 days! I used Expedia back after a long time not using it but even Expedia couldn't help out! Basically, we were ripped off!!!

A lot of red flags. The area and the premises felt very unsafe. The rooms smelled of weed and smoke and were dirty, without any amenities. There were random people at the reception at 1 am who looked stoned. We had to abandon our reservation after checking in and look for something at the last minute.

The hotel reeked of old cigarette smoke and the bed had the thinnest, oldest sheets I've ever seen. We had zero towels in the room and when we asked for one, they never brought one. We had to prop the window open with a trash can cause it was 90 degrees in our room and there was no screen. We were also on the first floor and felt very unsafe. I will say the bathroom was surprisingly clean and it looked like someone was trying when we left. Flowers were being planted outside and maybe they'll improve but this was definitely the sketchiest hotel I've ever slept in.

There were at least 7 homeless on the parking lot when we arrived and we went to do our check in, but a homeless person was standing outside of the main door and he didnt move. When we decided to leave it was a person smoking on the window at least the window was opened. This is most like shelter and I know that because I work in one. Also, our car was full of camping stuff, and we dont want to take any risk. So we decide to looking for another hotel. It was very challenging because was Saturday. However, we preferred to paid more, and feel safe. Then, I spoke to someone from Expedia for partial refund and they called the hotel who mentioned that the policy is strict which I understand, but we booked 2 nights and what about the other night.

I left within two hours. I’m pretty sure the receptionist was on drugs. The place was disgusting! The bed was so dirty you could lie down on it. There was graffiti on the walls. Smokes burns on the bed and bathroom floor. I felt so unsafe! A homeless man got in from the back door and was outside my room door and offered to smoke weed with me in the car park, I was terrified. There was random shouting. There was flies in the lobby. The bathroom smelt of smoke was dirty!
