“This place was so filthy, we walked in, and walked right back out!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2009
1
person found this review helpful

Oh, how I wish I would have taken pictures. My husband and I had been traveling all day and night, and wanted to pull over to take a nap. We checked in at 4 am. When my husband and I went down the hallway toward our room, we smelled a strong cat urine odor, the carpets were filthy, it was noisy. Our room smelled even worse, there was a lot of activity in the hallway, and we began to feel like we were in some sort of a horror film. There were other questionable guests staying there, people hanging out in the parking lot, and we did not feel safe. Filthy and rickety are the two words I can use to best describe this place. We were so tired, we were going to try and make it work, out of pure desperation. When my husband pulled the covers down, there were black hairs all over the sheets and the pillowcases were nearly brown they were so disgusting (I assume they were supposed to be white) I went directly to the front desk, kindly demanded a refund, and we high-tailed it out of there as quickly as possible. The only nice thing I can say, is that the receptionist was very friendly, and she refunded me with no problems, and many apologies. However, there is no way she could have been as shocked as she acted. It is obvious I could not possibly be the first guest to complain. I would NEVER, EVER recommend this hotel to ANYONE! The only recommendation I have, is that it be condemned!

“Dirty!”

This hotel was extremely dirty. The carpets were flithy, the shower was disgusting. There were bugs on the wall. The owners need to take pride in owning/running an America business and clean it up!

“Needs a good cleaning”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 October 2007
2
people found this review helpful

This hotel looked okay from the outside, but was very dirty inside. The shower curtain had mold all over it and was too long for the shower. The microwave in the lobby was filthy, as was the trash can right by it. There was visible dirt on the carpet in the rooms. The rooms were spacious and fairly quiet. The exterior door had a big sign saying not to prop the door open, but the door wasn't even able to shut all the way.

“Disappointing”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 July 2006
1
person found this review helpful

Was very disappointed. Was supposed to have a continental breakfast...was none. No alarm clock in the room. (They quit putting them in cause everyone ripped them off). There wasn't a blow dryer, which it was to have. The continental breakfast consisted of coffee only. The ice machine was broke down, and the juice machine was out of order. However, if those things don't matter to a tired traveler, the room was clean, supplied, and comfortable bed.

“Pass on this hotel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 March 2006
4
people found this review helpful

We arrived very late, about 1:30 a.m. to an empty lobby/front desk. After waiting 20 minutes and ringing the bell numerous times I was able to rouse an attendent by using my cell phone and calling the hotel. He claimed to be making a security check. The room was worn but clean. The toilet leaked each time we flushed it so we had to throw down towels. A missing grate in the bathroom revealed a filthy vent. I cancelled the rest of our stay and moved to a different hotel. Cannot recommend this hotel to anyone when more acceptable (and secure) hotels are available. Needs staff improvement.

Stayed January 2006
