Hi, At first I wasn't going to review this place out of empathy for the owners as I believe they are probably very nice people and I suspect they are giving people with no other options a place to stay in exchange for a helping hand around the motel. However, after looking through past reviews I feel I should state... More

After talking with the so-called manager on the phone, we decide to drop by and take a look before we moved all our stuff. This was the nastiest, most disgusting room I have ever seen! After being screamed at for ringing the office bell, she showed us 2 rooms. The first room looked like it had no been vacuumed in... More

This place blows! The carpet was so dirty that in a few minutes with no socks on, my feet turned black. There was no toilet paper. Bedbugs bit me all night. The location is VERY SKETCHY. On the street at night, right as I was arriving at the Pensione, some cracked out homebum started talking to me nonsensically. I thought... More

From walking into the neighbourhood from the train station we realized that we were in the WRONG part of town. Everything is run down and unkept. Poor, mentally ill and drug users everywhere. In talking to our taxi driver that same night to drive us back after having dinner, he stated that he doesn't drive to that part of town... More

I was truly concerned with this hotel - as an example - the taxi driver who left me asked if I thought I would be ok. The service was non-existent, no room service for a 4-day stay, cleanliness - no comment, noise level high ( evictions and unhappy clients) when I checked in - after waiting 7 minutes for someone...

We stayed here with my 3 year old son while we were waiting to move into our new house. It was a nightmare. The bathrooms looked like something from a horror movie, Saw, maybe? The place was dirty dirty dirty. The people across the way were dealing drugs, I could hear fighting all night, and it's riddled with bedbugs. We... More

$50/night in hell. The heater was broken and no one was around to fix it or even tell. They apparently only have one blanket and have to warsh it before they give it to you (if they remember). If you book an night online through a Priceline-type site, they won't charge your card till you get there because they're so... More

My stay at the Pensione was adequate for its price. My husband and I stayed for a long period of time. We had a fair share of little things that got under our skin, but for the weekly price it is expected. The owners are working hard to improve the grounds. We were staying during this. The owner is real... More

The room didn't have a closet. The bathroom was primitive with ancient plumbing and an uneven poored cement floor. There was a very thin bedspread only with old sheets. No carpet on the floor and you could see daylight between the door and the doorjam. You have to sign a form that says you agree to no refunds! That's your... More
