The place is as ghetto as can be with hoards of crackheads in and around the building, i never even made it inside, when i got there the main door was locked and they had a crackhead come out to get my name and then go back inside only to come out again and tell me my room wasnt clean yet and to come back in an hour (it was 7pm). Then i said id like to cancel and they told me that was fine and i wouldbt be charged and they charged me anyway

The hotel is in a very bad drug dealing area. Even cab companies avoid coming here. It took 7 cabs going by until the 7th finally stopped to get us to the airport. The place is very dirty, many thing’s broken or missing. The staff lies. They advertise free shuttle to and from the train station and airport. They do not have a shuttle service at all. I only booked this after talking to them directly verifying that they would pick us up and drop us off. After booking I checked 2 more times and they again verified that they would pick us up and drop us off. When we arrived they refused to pick us up. In the morning they refused to take us to the airport. Smoke detector missing from room. Open wires sticking out under desk. Fan had no cover. Heater couldn’t be shut off and we couldn’t cool the room below 80+ degrees. It was a scarey and miserable night.

The staff member was really nice. The motel needs updating badly. The window of our room was open with the screen torn and pried up. The worst part was random people kept walking in and out of the front door with several people hanging out there. Felt uncomfortable so we went to a different motel.

Why Expedia showing this type of stays even in listings? The place is highly unsafe because most of guests are unsocial and junkies. The hotel doesn't even use computers to check even any reservation, they still work on papers And on arrival.

This hotel seems to make their business on housing poor immigrants and homeless on public funding. Nothing wrong with that and the hotel is by far the least expensive in town. You should be aware of this before booking, otherwise the security at the doorbell and the checkin looks weird. Staff does a good job given the conditions, rooms are reasonably clean.

Drug den, not hotel
It’s a place for drugs and drug dealers! Literally everyone was on drugs, smoking cigarettes in the lobby, and prostitutes were hanging around, we didn’t stay and ended up sleeping in our truck rather than risk staying 1 night. Do not stay here!!

Poor service and communication from hotel.com
I'm a little pissed off at the hotel.com I scheduled me a room I get there Show my itinerary and they said that I did not exist that they told you that the room was canceled they had no more openings I paid money for this room and I could not get it I will have my lawyer check into this And straighten this mess out But I will never use hotel.com again because they misled me And they charged my credit card Without notifying me that they were notified of the problem And I will make sure that I put it On the media about hotel.com and what they've done and show transcripts And also the messages I got from the hotel when I was in there talking to him because I recorded it and it went into a text message So I will make sure that the people in the United States and all overreads this And understands that hotel.com Is not a good Business to do dealings with

Without a doubt, this is the worst place I've ever been to. Had a bad feeling as soon as my Uber driver dropped me off, at around 8 pm. As I walked into the reception desk, the smell to marihuana knocked me down. Then my room, dirty and in a terrible condition. Again, the smell to marihuana. After a shower, I gave it a try to sleeping, being even afraid of touching the bed. At about 4 am someone clearly drunk was knocking on my door. The person left, but at that moment I decided to book me another hotel for my remaining two days stay, and left at around 5:30 am. If anything, I appreciate the property only charging me for one night.
