    I was supposed to have a king size bed that was not a king size bed. The sofa bed that was in the room was real dirty look like it had bedbugs before they tried to switch me to another room that sofa bed was the same way the hotel is not the way it is presented online the morning when I woke up to take a shower the showerhead did not work. I had to stand up and take a bath.

    Horrible

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    This place is is under new construction so they don’t tell you that once you arrive. The hot water in the bathtub was extremely hot so there was no cold water to take your shower. They are very short on towels that they supply you in each room so you have to keep asking for dry towels and wash rags to take a bath.

    I don't know why this place is even listed! It looks abandoned. I didn't even bother checking in. If the inside reflects the outside, I wouldn't have my worst enemy stay there! To make matters worse, I couldn't cancel.....absolute waste of money.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    they room was very filthy, red blood stains on the pull out couch along with the curtains in the bathroom shower. red blood stains on the wall, dead bugs on the floor. roach crawling on the wall before we went to bed, dirty refrigerator. blinds hanging off the window, no blinds. outside grass wasn’t cut nothing like the picture that was advertised

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Nothing!!! It smelled all through the place…..like mold! It’s was dirty inside and out! It was filthy floors windows. It was garbage outside and pretty much a construction site that had garbage all over!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Worse place in the world unless you want to stay in a 3rd world country combined with forever Halloween . Trash , garbage, bugs unsanitary conditions.

    It’s under construction and everything is a disarray I one was at the desk. I had to leave due to my father passing and they are refusing to accommodate a death and not canceling my room.

    The hotel is very dirty and does not look at all like the pictures on the website. The carpet is dusty and dirty, the couches are dirty, and the room smells nasty. The bed was not made and the rooms were very dark because lights were not working. There was trash overflowing for days, the grass had not been cut, and the hotel was cluttered with old air conditioners, drywall, and outdated furniture. I only stayed because there was nowhere else to go at such a late hour. This was a terrible experience. The hotel was understaffed and unhealthy. I would caution anyone to find other means than this hotel.

    Property was poorly marked and the building looked condemned. Dirty throughout the building. Stains on bedding.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Not even close to what I had booked. It was a mess. Bedding was disgusting. Full of stains, floors were gross not swept or washed. Couch arms are black the couch is red. The whole property is over grown. The foot path in back also. Sheets off wood. The fountain in front hasn't been painted or on in years. The building outside is falling apart. Inside had this smell I couldn't explain. The pool looked the same. I checked in at 11:00 at night I was traveling with my 11-year-old. And when we got into the bed to turn it down that's when I noticed all of the stains the gum. I had to run back out to the car to grab our traveling blankets so I laid a sheet and then our blankets on top of us. I checked out and didn't stay the next night. I'd give it a negative five.

    This place is horrible

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The entire place is run down. It feels as if a hotel that was on a YouTube video of urban exploration was bought, spiced up just ever so slightly, and opened up. Very backrooms feeling. Not dirty in our room per se but incredibly old and decrepit. Honestly if you can avoid it, I’d find something else.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    How this place hasn’t been shut down by the health department yet is question of the decade. Disgusting doesn’t cover it! Avoid!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Take my advice, spend the extra and go elsewhere. Hard to believe this meets local code. Maybe no one checks?

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Room was great. Thankyou for the service.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    My stay was overall a good experience. Akash, the front desk associate, was helpful in my stay and showed that I was an appreciated customer.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    There were dead bugs and spills on the floor, the elevator moves so slowly between the only two floors that I thought it was broken, and the walls are so thin you can hear that every door beeps on and off for 30 seconds after opening. There are broken windows on several first floor rooms, leading to a trashy image.

    Worst hotel eve been in better crack houses
