    The truth

    It was the equivalent of staying at a housing project. Drugs and prostitution evident all around and inside motel. It was filthy inside lobby and room. People gathered in the hallway hanging out. Elevator did not work leaving stairs next to back door . I grew up in this area, so I was shocked to see what it had become after 25 years . I did not stay , I left for home instead, in Oklahoma. I did pay. But I'm refused a refund. The outside of motel had yellow tape all around the valet area. It probably once was a nice motel. But now. I wouldn't allow my worse enemy to stay there.

    This place was a horrible place. Drugs and prostitutes everywhere. It was like being at the projects. Very scary. I left and drove back home instead of staying. Lost my $50 I paid. I guess there is no refunds. Will never use this cite again.

    It wasn't like the photo shown on the booking site. After a long drive, I was looking for a place to relax and sleep. Unfortunately, the neighbors were noisy at night, and the door banged a couple of times. The toilet flush and floor were broken, and the bed hadn't even been cleaned or washed. I was hesitant to go down and complain because the reception didn't seem friendly. If you're coming from a foreign country, please avoid this property; you won't find any peace until the next morning. I checked out at 4:45 AM and started my drive home. Overall, it was a very unpleasant experience.

    Noting,

    This is not a normal hotel, but a shelter for the homeless and drug addicts. It's a very dangerous place. Dirt, vomit and feces everywhere. We refused to check in and had to call the police to leave safely.

    Horro hotel with attacking cockroach when you run out of ithere with the video of how was the room
    • Leisure trip

    Hotel lobby hot no ac, elevator broken, got room on 3 floor , the room is so horrible I took a video from the entrance of the horror room and we left , asked for refund they denied . Want more info? The toilet was upside down. Shower destroyed. Vacuum cleaner in front of the bed. I paid for 2 beds cause is my son not my husband and one bed only. Sombody dirty men underwear on the floor, chair had used white thing in it. We never entered the room to check the ac but room was hot too, I have the horror video as proof. Did they expected us to pee or poop in the bathroom on just a hole on the floor with no toilet? Also a note was posted that the hotel didn’t pass cleanest inspection, but omg want to see the video we took of our room? It was better sleeping on the car somewhere else, also some drug users around some so drugged they were sleeping on the grass so we moved to secure area , we left with the horror video and we’re denied refund. I want to send my video , where I can send it? Also we were attacked by a big cockroach and got in the car with us that we rented from budget , sorry budget. That’s cause drug users there don’t use the trash cans.

    Horror hotel I want refund

    The torn up walls. Broken door. Like chunks of wood are out of the wall and door. Non working shower. No window curtain on a broken window. Broken elevator. Other guests running around every floor all hours of the night. Property was littered with mentally unstable people who weren't guests as well.

    Nothing. It was a slum lord hotel and should be shut down.
