There wasn’t anything I particularly disliked about the hotel. I understand that every guest has their own story, and some may only be passing through while others stay longer. Considering the location and the factors outside of management’s control, I believe they’ve done everything possible to keep the area and the guest community clean and well‑managed. Not having a permanent home shouldn’t affect how someone chooses to behave, and I appreciate management’s efforts to maintain a respectful environment for everyone. The management and staff consistently show attentiveness to the tenants' needs. I appreciate their kindness and openness, paired with a strong sense of professionalism. Management has also been working diligently to complete many needed repairs, and their efforts are clearly improving the overall condition of the property.

The rooms are all roach infested, the furniture is disgustingly filthy, the air conditioning didn't work in the 1st 2 rooms, there were hairs in the sheets in 2 rooms and the T.V. had to be fixed in the 3rd room. One of the large towels was folded so that you couldnt see until you opened it that one side was stained black. This place should not be rented by anyone ever and should be removed from Expedia and all legitimate booking sites. I never complain, but this place is ridiculous.

The room that I was put in had bed bugs and when I brought it to the attention of the staff all they did was say sorry they didn't offer a discount they didn't offer a refund nothing I would like to request a refund. They're also were tons of cockroaches the floors were dirty the bathroom looked like it had recently flooded sheets look like they hadn't been cleaned in months the blanket was actually a curtain. When I first arrived the manager came outside as I was getting things out of my truck and asked me what I was doing there. Someone got hit with a hammer in the head one of the nights.
Here you can see an adult bed bug
Another adult bed bug

Absolutely dirty and disgusting, roaches were everywhere inside and the water pressure wasn’t working at all and no hot water. The pictures posted for this hotel are misleading and look nothing like the real thing. If I could give no stars I would. Never coming here again or recommending to anyone.
