This property was horrible. It was straight out of a horror movie. The lobby was old, dusty and unkept. Behind the front desk there was a room where items were thrown and dis-shoveled. When given the key to my room. I was told to drive my car through the back gate and park in the gated area. While driving my vehicle to the location. There were homeless people hanging around directly on the property. Wen entering my assigned room, The bed was old and didn't look too clean. At that point I decided I was not comfortable and it was not a safe place to stay the night. I returned to the front desk and requested my money back. I was told that they were going to keep $20 of my reservation money. stating that they already paid a commision to expedia... This is unacceptable. I would like to ask you guys to return my $20.

First experience to this hotel is the pictures on the website don’t match at all it’s very uninviting when you walk anywhere around or in the property our room was dirty with stains and spider webs. Things were very old and broken in the room people outside and that live there are very loud also our keys would not work and we got trapped in the building and had to ask help from workers that didn’t speak English most rooms had broken windows and does not feel safe to stay in not worth the price. We ended up leaving and not even staying in the room.

There is not much to like about the hotel. After checking in, it took us about half an hour to get to our room. First, we were given a room (301) that was inaccessible. The elevator was broken, and a steel bar bolted shut the third-floor door. So we were not able to get to our room. We returned to the front desk, reported this, and were given a new room. It wasn't easy to get to this second room (266) because many doors were chained and bolted. Since this process took so long, my wife needed to go to the bathroom, but no restrooms were available since all of them were locked and inaccessible. We finally found our way to our room, which was in poor shape. The molding had detached from the wall, and the towel rack was falling off. The shower did not have hot water, so we were unable to take a shower. The chair in the room was filthy and stained, so we did not want to use it. We also found a bug crawling in the room. From the outside, it looks like it was once a great hotel. The pictures shown on the webpage were from its better days. The lobby and rooms bear no resemblance to what they are now. The swimming pool and restaurant have long been closed, and there was no ice machine. We say many people that look like they are homeless. We did not feel safe.

PLEASE READ**WARNING*** BEWARE****CAUTION NOT SAFE

Terrible experience dirty bugs in room sink was plugged dirt and debris plugged air cond filter,owner entered room on multiple occasions watching for you to leave and entering room with no warning with out any notice of needing to enter. Then was blamed for having a dog in room because owner claims bowl was on floor in room..I have no pets ?!! lol owner admits entered room from adjacent room hearig a dog he claims then enters room when we left didn’t see or find a dog but claims bowl on floor was for a dog, tried to charge me for a dog I don’t have then asked to leave after 5 night stay for having imaginary pet dog??!! soo confused.. place is dump elevators don’t work ,signs all over the place about police department patrolling ,homeless people hanging out all over the property ,evidently that’s where he gets his true business from here. That’s how we were treated anyways. this place is more of a flophouse than a hotel. protect your personals in your privacy staff entered room with no warning on prior days claiming they didn’t know if we checked out or not it makes you feel like more is going on in this hotel than what meets the eye. all pictures photographs provided on websites and advertising must be 20+ years old the place is that ran down with no upkeep exterior landscape unattended to
