This hotel has bad ratings. But the room was actually quite nice. Just outdated. It was clean and smelled good. I've stayed in a lot of cheap hotels and beggars can't be choosers. For as cheap as it was to stay here. It's a great place. That's why I'm trying to give it five stars. Well worth the money.
My stay here was for an overnight for a family get together celebration. The room was clean comfortable for the night, the only thing wrong was the warm inside of the mini fridge, otherwise the stay was great

OK for the price
I appreciated the very low cost. The place is run down. Bathroom door had a large "crater", as if someone hit it. Sink and tub are all scratched up. Nevertheless, things were clean. Ground floor room is a little noisy due to traffic in the parking lot.

The staff were excellent, friendly. The hallways and room had a urine smell, like a dog kennel. Looks like homeless people are housed there .
The pictures on hotels.com are not close to recent. Place looked abandoned. Weeds everywhere, carpets filthy, paint off the walls, reeked of smoke and marijuana. Appeared to be a lot of permanent residents at the facility. Only positive was the ac worked great, the staff and residents were friendly Hotels.com should be ashamed to have this hotel on their site.
The Expedia pictures are totally deceptive. This place is a dump. Filthy. Broken. Soiled. No breakfast. Creepy. We came in late and I would have slept in my car if the parking lot was not so creepy and poorly lit. The staff was polite though.
No exercise room. Ac kept it cool but very noisy. The bathroom door had a fist-sized ho;e in it. The tub and sink are so worn = chunks of the finish worn off. It looked like they were dirty (they were not). no coffee/breakfast.. Certainly not worth the $$

Reasonably clean, cost effective. Nice bed, good pillows/sheets and quiet. I slept well and got a good night rest. Convenient location.
The AC/HEAT unit sounded like a jet engine. The room was hot when I arrived. The cove base was missing or coming off the wall in several places. The door hardware was very loose and I’m sure the room I was in could be broken into very easily. The tv didn’t work properly. The parking area was in dire need of repair. There was no included breakfast
No frills stay for a conference nearby. Upon arrival we were informed that sadly breakfast was not being served as advertised. Staff was very friendly. Room a bit outdated, but clean. Great pillows but wonky mattresses. The parking lot needs repaving STAT, it’s like driving on the moon!

The property was horrible. Nothing about it was liked The hotel should be $10 a night. The hotel is old and smelly.
This hotel should be condemned. We had to leave for health reasons despite being overpriced and nonrefundable by Orbitz. We then had to find oher accommodations. I will never book another hotel through Orbitz!
I booked the room because under the lies there was breakfast and a pool. This place had neither. The hallways smell, the stairs weren’t clean. I honestly would like my money back after the false advertising and hotel condition. I have another trip booked here with my daughter in two weeks that I’ll be canceling immediately.
