    Insects buzzing around trash receptacles by elevator on 1st and 2nd floors. 3 out of 4 bulbs missing in floor and bedside lamps...missing remote for TV. Toilet stopped up had to be plunged.

    Avoid at all costs. The bar is pretty low for me with cheap hotels but this didn't even come close. Mold in the bathroom. Paint covering mold in the main room. Bathroom door only had one hinge on the top so it felt like it was a out to fall off. Carpet was musty and damp. Bugs everywhere. TV wasn't mounted to anything and had no stand so it was just leaned up against the wall.

    My only issue was the electrical outlet in the room. Everything was plugged in to one outlet that was scotch tape to the wall so it would not come unplugged. I told the staff, however, they do not care.

    This location has unfortunately completely gone into the deep end. The new owners are not taking care of this place at all, instead they are actively doing what they are calling renovations however what they are actually doing is laying fresh paint on the walls to cover up an EXTREME amount of black mold, the mold is located under the carpets as well, the pipes are so clogged that they almost burst on us in the room we had which was the jucuzzi suite, we were moved to 4 rooms and still were unable to stay due to these conditions. The staff was very rude with us upon arrival for no aparet reason, although we were booked I was told we were unable to wait in the lobby we were told to wait in our vehicle until check in , keep in mind I was not waiting in their lobby at any point I was simply waiting while they were assisting another customer ( with the same rudeness), they threatened to tow our vehicle which is illegal considering we had a reservation booked. This location is terrible I wish I could give it a negative 5 starts. The hotels owners are who is running the business currently and they refuse service when they feel like it with no legit reasonings they then refuse a refund. DO NOT STAY HERE you will be at severe risk of becoming ill and move rooms multiple times due to the amount of rooms that should be considered out of order.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Covering up BLACK MOLD with a fresh coat of paint, very rude to customers and DOES NOT accommodate any issues and does not care to make any issues right for the customer.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Nice bed. They did not have breakfast. I was disappointed.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Not to Expedia standards at all. If Expedia offers this hotel I'll look somewhere else. Thanks

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    I completely understand the hotel is being renovated. I am sure the hotel doesn't own a vacuum. Everywhere I walked was dirty. The staff gave me a dirty room, and I had to prove it was dirty. There were no towels in the room, A red foreign substance on the pillow. There was old urine in the toilet. The carpet was fifthly; they gave me a different room which was slightly cleaner. which was not satisfying. I had paid for the room online and couldn't cancel last minute and find a room similar to price. I went to Dollar Tree to get cleaning supplies to make the room manageable. The hotel had an old stale smell throughout. There sings posted No Smoking, yet people were smoking marijuana in their room. The only amenity that was available compared to what was posted was Wi-Fi and coffee in the lobby. Every picture was deceitful. I definitely will not be back.

    Nothing ALL, unfortunately. Everything.. bathroom filthy, holes in wall,microwave looked like a dungeon, carpet wet and room smelled like PURE MILDEW! blankets, filthy with paint and culk! Toilet stained ( cleanable) we cleaned the entire room. Had to go all the way home to get our blankets. The staff said they had no wash clothes or towels.. none available so we also got those from home ! Had to go home to get bleach to clean up the entire room. Remote to tv didnt work! It was stuck ( buttons).
