    It was a ok place to stay for one night! They should provide a bath mat because the bathroom floor gets wet very easily. It’s also easy to hear other guests, so people who are light sleepers might have trouble falling asleep. Bring your earplugs!

    While they provide a much needed service to the community bridging the gap between the already marginalized low income and unhoused demographics, the recent state push at identification document requirements meant I was unable to check in and was not refunded for a service I was not provided. In most cases, when you pay someone for a good or service and then are denied that good or service and your money is kept, it's considered theft but this is the colonizers system where every head has a dollar amount and every resource a value to be extracted then discarded.

    The staff weren't helpful, the room did not look clean, the comforter was disgusting, that we removed from the very uncomfortable beds. Couldn't get comfortable due to the mattress to be able to get any quality sleep. Area of motel has drug dealers and prostitution inside of the complex and on the surrounding streets which made for an uncomfortable experience.

    Disgusting ghetto hellhole. Spend the extra $10 for a decent room, trust me. This place is right off 35 in a rough area. Vagrants talk loudly and some yell at all hours of the night. It’s clearly a drug den hotel with mostly homeless, addicts, and prostitution. Not only is it unsafe, but the sheets were damp and dirty, hair was all over the floors. The mini fridge was also dirty. Looks like it should be condemned. 0/5.

    The office staff were very cool and as accommodating as they could be. The house keeping staff are rude, disrespectful, and have no idea what customer service is. They want to do everything their way and if you need any sort of accommodations they will try to get you kicked out. I work in the afternoons, so i sleep in the morning. I would ask the housekeepers to come every other day and try to come after 1 or 2 pm. Every single day they'd bang on my door around 11 to 12, tried to force their way in, and then on days when i refuse service they'd wait until i go to work, then invade my personal space. They then tried to charge me 30 dollars for a towel and said if i dont pay id be kicked out. I had no clue what that was about. But overall, worst housekeeping staff I've ever experienced. And lastly, they will act like they don't understand English just to do what they want.

    liked free wifi and easy parking. even tho i prepaid I had to pay a $10 deposit to get the room key & remote. room was decent for price but was a tad outdated. Staff was friendly and had good response time but i overheard the receptionist tell a different guest that she could not provide more toilet paper for her room because the staff had no toilet paper! 6/10 overall.

    The workers! They have the ugliest attitudes , No customer services at all!! Visiting Hours are not honored! It clearly said 7am to 10 pm ! But they want to kick people out for having visitors over daring visitation hours! Then want to call people homeless cause they have a room there! When that same woman lives that the property! Smdh! They have selective seeing! Cause I don't understand how they don't see all the movement in the back? Or how they don't see how they same workers be out side there room door smoking weed! Same workers providing that property with drugs! How can't they see that!

    It was just me and my son and I didn't feel safe there for a second. If I could have afforded to leave when I saw the place I would have left immediately. It was very dirty, no ice, no shampoo at all only tiny bars of soap. The room smelled old and hasn't been updated in probably 30 years. The entire place needs a makeup like demo the entire place and start over. The people staying in the other rooms were all under hard times, and I could tell some were living there. I was constantly on the look out of other people being there to make sure me and my son didn't get hurt by them. It was in a bad part of town which didn't help. The surrounding part of the pool was dirty, but the water was actually nice. When I checked in the lobby was locked by a huge plastic wall with a tiny window to check in and out. They even have to keep the remote to the tvs under lock and key. They handed it to me when I got there to check in. If I was late by a minute to check out they were actually going to charge me for it. I couldn't wait to leave and never come back.

    They don't tell you that there's a $60 deposit. When booking online, they also charge you $10 for the remote.And then when you turn the remote in , they only give you eight dollars back , because they don't tell you that they take two dollars out of the ten dollars for a room key

    I would not recommend this place for a multitude of reasons. For most it is not in a good area first and foremost , so the crowd is very rough and low profile. The walls are very thin, so much so, I can hear the neighbors adjacent as well as behind me. Tenants are smoking marijuana in the parking lot and in the rooms so the smell would make it's way into other people's room. There is also a lot of noise and commotion (boisterous talking or arguing) during the night and early in the morning making it difficult to sleep at night. I strongly do not recommend this unless for convenience sake. If you can afford a little more, look for another place. This place is not good at all.

They have no microwaves in the rooms but do have one in the lobby but tenants are not allowed to use it. Then they have a vending machine but they have to access it for. Then the customer service representatives are rude. A representative had an attitude because i asked why am i always being charge a small fee of 50 cent to a dollar everytime i book via hotels.com

    The hotel is right off t highway. It is on the feeder road. The turn in is easy to miss and if you miss it you have to go over a half a mile so you can turn around and you have to go all the way around the other side of the highway and make an additional u-turn just to get back to the hotel. The office is locked regardless to what time of the day or night it is.

    If you need a place to just sleep, this hotel works super well! Checking in involves standing outside of the main office in the images provided. The windows are barred and there is a small "drive thru" window. That window has a slit and small table for you to pass items through with the front desk worker. The man who checked us in was very chipper and kind. You pay a $10 deposit per room to get your single blank keycard and the room's remote. The woman who checked us out was efficient and similarly nice. My deposit was refunded to my account quickly. Both rooms were incredibly humid and smelled HEAVILY of cigarettes. The furniture in both rooms consisted mainly of a bed, a hanging wall mirror, a small table, and one chair. One room had a long and sturdy TV console, the other a small end table. The bathrooms are tiny (standard for cheaper stays ngl), the showers are incredibly awkward to operate (three knobs, 2 labeled hot), the towels provided are threadbare and occasionally stained, and you get one washcloth. You also get 2 bars of soap. One of the rooms had normal sized pillows that were flat as a blanket, the other had small square pillows that were fluffy. You only have the two regardless. The bedding in one room had small, light stains and the other had a "crusty" feel towards the very foot of the bed. Overall an experience I won't repeat alone but with friends/family yes

    Office has bars on the windows and they make you leave a deposit for the tv remote control, which they hand you when you check in. I left 4 hours after checking in due to feeling completely unsafe due to fighting outside of my room. Property refused to refund me and I had to speak to a supervisor at Expedia to finally get it but from Expedia not the property. This place should be condemned and/or not listed on the Expedia website.

    This property looked very shady. It had bars on all the windows and you could not go into the lobby. The lobby was locked up tight and they helped you through a tiny little slit in a window. They charge a $10 deposit for the room key and the tv remote (which the tv did not work anyways). However, all the staff at the location were fabulous and very friendly.

    It was a do it yourself, but everything was off limits and had to put a $300 deposit to use laundry room, to even get a single roll of toilet paper, let's say you wanted to get room service at 11:00 you have to pay for that, and also there is homeless people and prostitutes outside of the apartment and they are always and I say always going to be banging on your door asking for a room or for money, never stay at this place ever
