I didn’t feel safe there at all. We were driving a truck. The parking lot is very small. Hard to get in and out. The hotel was very noisy. There was garbage on the shelf in the closet. As I checked out I let them know that. I believe his response was “That is ok”. It isn’t ok.

This is an older establishment and is quite evident in the room furnishings. The bed was comfortable. I travelled with others and we all experienced someone knocking on our door around midnight. I personally travel extensively (120 nights/yr) and only chose this location due to limited hotel options for 3 rooms on short notice. I am not a fan of Sandman chain, stopped using them over a year ago and tend toward another chain with better rooms and other factors.

It smelt in the hallways and in our room like old mildew 😭 also the asked for a pre-authorization of 200$ on top of paying through Expedia which is the second time I’ve had to do that after already paying for the room. They don’t accept debit or cash for the pre-authorization also. The front desk lady said it is on the Expedia website but it is not.
