Room from Hell (65)

Smell was horrible. Room was supposedly non-smoking but the smell of cigarettes was pungent. AC did not work properly. Spent the weekend in 100 degree heat with a barely usable AC unit. Bathroom sink was coming off. Smell lingers on everything. I’ve been home for a couple of days and I can still smell the horrid smell. DO NOT STAY HERE!

Katelyn

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room was filthy. Blood stains on the sides of both of the beds. Yellow and brown smears and stains on the walls near the vanity area and bathroom. Walls looked like they’d never been cleaned. Tub looked like it had never been cleaned. Comforter on bed was dusty and stained. Pillows seemed clean, but they were extremely cheap and uncomfortable. Tv worked but it was very small and old. Room was quiet. Parking was easy. The outside of the property looked nice, but the inside was rundown and not well maintained. I would not stay here again.

Please look at the guest pictures! The pictures the hotel provided are just catfishing. The hotel is so run down. The inside of our room door had tape on the lock. I had to put the chair in front of it to feel somewhat safe. The beds had questionable stains. The feet on the beds were bending. Thank goodness I took blankets for my baby. The fridge had mold. Please be aware when booking

Not going back!

The room was in dire need of an upgrade. The bathroom needed replacing. The top of the toilet tank was broken and a sharp edge was above the flush handle. The bedspreads were filthy. At least the sheets were clean. No smoke alarm or fire extinguisher’s in the ceiling.
