In the battle of Internet vs Reality, Reality won out here. I rolled the dice and got craps. The room looks almost nothing like the photos. Missing are the dirty walls, chipped ceiling and a door that's seen better days, oh and not to mention the holes in the curtain and the dirty baseboards. On the plus side the bed wasn't horrible the toilet flushed and the water pressure was so-so. Best of all I didn't see bugs of any type in the room. So basically you see 2 stars under $100 a night and that's exactly what you get. The photos are not completely the truth here. Take it or leave it if your on a budget.

Non smoking room and cigarette burn on counters and sheets had holes in them and felt like sheets were not clean. Best thing was hot shower. After paying by phone they required a 50 dollar deposit which I never had to do . They should have paid me to stay there oh and don’t let me forget that I could not sleep due to thinking my vehicle was going to get broken into, no parking to accommodate your stay.

This property should not be on Expedia it's a dump. It seems as if it's a hotel that houses homeless people. The conditions in the room were horrible and smelled really bad. I asked for a refund and left. It had holes in the wall, a rusted bathroom, broken AC unit. horrible place

The lot was torn up . Most of the asphalt was missing. The ice machine was not functioning. There were cigarette holes in my comforter. The shade was falling off the rod. The ice bucket was dirty, the stopper for the sink was missing, only one soap was given. The bed was comfortable, the air conditioning worked well and the shower was good. I did not feel safe at this location because of the disrepair and lack of customers. The owner was polite.

No microwave, table, chair or light's. One lamp. The room was so unsettling. I declined housekeeping services and was told my son and i had to check out, the best thing that happened there. False advertising because the pictures gotta be from a different hotel. Charging way to much to take a suitcase full of bed bugs and roaches. I will never look this direction again.

I didn't bother to stay here. I arrived at the property and the grounds weren't well kept and there was an odor. That made me decide to view the room before completing my booking. I viewed the room and it smelled and looked nasty. From the bed to the walls.

Filthy grounds outside. Something that looked like blood stains on the curtains. Baseboards caked with dirt. No dressers or closets. Showed me the smoking room. Only checking for smell. After checking in I noticed all of the flaws. Checked out fifteen minutes later out fifteen minutes late and they charged me for a day. I could go on forever!

The only thing positive about this place is probably the low rate but take my advise and go somewhere else better.. the place is very old and run down. Everywhere smell like weeds and smoke. The paint was peeling off and the street is under construction so super loud at night. Staffs were nice but that was about it. The next day I went to midtown instead.

It was very clean and stocked. My only concern was the bathroom door locked itself (if door fully opened, the push mechanism on the door handle was compressed against the wall and locks the door if it is closed) and my husband and I didn't realize it till 1:30am, the staff came to unlock it so i appreciate that. It Didn't look too clean or safe from the outside but once in the room i was pleased.

Location was good for me. But they let people hang around outside that will not leave you alone. I had to go to another motel at 12 at night because I thought someone was going to rob me. They stand outside your door right by the stairs for hours. U felt very threatened n scared will never stay there again
