I did not stay there, I paid through expedia, it was a late booking and non refundable. I got there and didnt even want to get out of the car. Not the best neighborhood, I went somewhere else. I was alone but even if I had been with my husband, I wouldn't have stayed. I never saw the room, it may have been fine but the people wandering around outside was unsettling. It was very run down outside and in the office. Bad experience.

The window in the ground floor bedroom was made of plexiglass that bowed out- you could put your hand through, there as also no window lock. The area was surround by houseless individuals with dogs that had to be muzzled. We checked out and were told they would refund and that we had to contact Orbitz. I’m still waiting - the first attempt from Orbitz, they were told they did not know what I was talking about. This property should not be on Orbitz.

Our room had roaches!!! I reported to the front desk but the clerk from the night shift was rude and said she couldn't move me to a different room since I had been there for a few hours. She also mentioned that I couldn't get a refund because I had to go through my third party to request a refund, then she looked away. I do not recommend this place, this has been the worst experience I ever had.

Don't stay here.
Wifi didn't work, television didn't work, with cabling and wiring hanging out of the walls and outlet, pool and spa were closed. Front desk attitude was basically a sorry we're working on it and offered no fix or offer of compensation or discount.

The toilet paper had grey water stains on it when I first walked in. I had to change it. I had the specials needs room which I did not request. There is no place to for personal toiletries in the shower so I had to put them on the counter outside of the shower. Ice machine was at another motel. At breakfast certain foods were not available such as syrup for waffles and coffee machine was broken.

I arrived an hour before check in and asked the host if we could possibly check in early. I was told no, they were still cleaning the room. We proceeded to wait in the car for the hour where we had full view of the staff moving from room to room on all three floors prepping rooms. When 3pm hit, I checked in, received keys to a room that had not been actively cleaned while we were waiting- we happened to parked right in front of it- no one had come in or out. I don't think this room had been opened in weeks. The grout work had recently (?) been re-done in the bathroom- all of the old grout strips were shoved into the tiny wastebasket, along with some broken grout tools, dirt and dust covered the floor and there were two blades from the grout stripper on the bathroom floor. When I woke up the second morning I turned to the bedside table to see baby cockroaches running across the top. When I turned the lights on, they scattered, It was absolutely disgusting. The prices were absolutely being gouged due to Comicon being in town- there was absolutely no one attending comicon staying at this motel. A complete joke. This is why the hotel industry is failing hard and Air BnB is destroying local housing ordinances.

Book somewhere else, hidden charges. Tv channels didnt work, ac neither . Drug addicts and tweakers all over the outside didnt feel safe. No hot water for breakfast - but had oatmeal. We checked out early, smoke deposit 250 but you get a smoke smelling room to begin with. Make it make sense . Take your money elsewhere

The staff was pleasant and professional, but the room left alot to be desired. The bed was not very comfortable, but we were tired enough to not care. Our TV only worked occasionally. The pucture came on for a few minutes at a time. But the real disaster was the shower! The water leaked out of the wheel chair accessible shower and eventually out of the bathroom! The staff looked at the problem and made note of the horrible construction.
