- Robert (2/5): - The place was nothing like the pictures in the Ad. The room was disgusting. I immediately booked another room at a hotel. You need to take this place off of your website.
- Benjamin (2/5): AC not working - The room was so hot I called front desk and told the owner I also told him the reason was because there was no AC filter he clearly told me it doesn't need one he said it was because of the hot weather I had no other place to go
- Jesus (2/5): worst hotel ever !!! - didn't even stay there it was so bad and hotel refused to refund us.
- Bernadino (2/5): Request a full refund couldn't stay there - The hotel does not look like ANYTHING LIKE the pictures. we didn't stay there and request a FULL refund . DIrty, stained towels and bedding , door broken, very unsafe .
- Maria Cloribel (2/5): - I reserved two rooms and only used one, the conditioning is bad, latter I tried request my refund and this is no possible
- Jennifer (2/5): - The pictures on website are lies. This hotel is a filthy, dirty motel. This appears to be a true to life 'roach motel' and I ended up having to book elsewhere as there was no way I would sleep or shower here!
- Stephen (2/5): - The gentleman at front desk was rude. Charged more than reserervation was for and then tacked on a deposit. Made me go to ATM and pay the additional in cash. Would not let me use debit card. Room outdated and dirty. Sheets dirty, comforter had burn holes all in it.It. The hotel is a dump in horrible neighborhood. Do not. Stay hereood.
- Kyle (2/5): Roaches - Roaches there were so many roaches to the point I stayed in other hotel 1 day Into my stay
- John (8/5): Bad Service - Didn't like that i had to come back in a hour for my room that was already available front desk guy not friendly had to stand outside the window to check in at 3pm in the evening will not be staying here again...
- Robin Robert (2/5): - The room smelled like someone had been smoking inside, which was really unpleasant. There was no air conditioning, and there were no blankets provided to cover up. The only sheet on the bed was in poor condition. Overall, very disappointing stay.
- Joshua (2/5): - I'm extremely disappointed with my stay at this hotel. The cleanliness was appalling, with visible dirt and mold in the shower head, air conditioning unit, and bathroom. I strongly advise against staying here unless drastic improvements are made.
- Veronika (2/5): - Horrible place to stay. Rooms smelled like cigarettes and when we asked for a new room the person working the front desk yelled at us and said we were lying that it didn’t smell. Once we were put into a new room, the A/C unit didn’t work. Terrible location.
- Michaela (2/5): - Easily the worst I’ve ever stayed at
- Gabriel (2/5): - simply horrible, not clean at all, there were cockroaches, the air conditioning didn't work properly, terrible,
- Darlin (2/5): - When I arrived to the location they were not able to find my reservation and they refused to refund my money I had to wait till later to get my room , the day after when I tried to check out around they guy at front desk wanted me to
- Roberto (4/5): - the bed sheets were dirty
- Roberto (4/5): - the bed sheets were dirty
- Verified traveler (2/5): Unbending - Very unhappy with the service in that they were unwilling to refund for 3 major reasons. We booked another hotel regardless of no refund. Communication barrier.
- Jeffry (6/5): - It was okay, you get what you pay for.
- Dairon (2/5): - My experience at this hotel was extremely disappointing and disturbing. From the moment I entered the room, it was clear that cleanliness and hygiene were not a priority. I encountered cockroaches crawling on the floor and furniture, and to make matters worse, I found worms in the shower. This level of neglect is completely unacceptable for any establishment hosting guests.
The bathroom was filthy, with grime in the corners and a foul odor that made it difficult to use. The bedding looked unwashed, and the overall condition of the room was rundown and poorly maintained. I felt uncomfortable and unsafe staying there, and I was genuinely concerned about health risks due to the unsanitary environment.
I would strongly advise others to avoid this hotel until significant improvements are made in cleanliness, pest control, and general maintenance. This was by far one of the worst lodging experiences I’ve ever had.
- Alaunah (2/5): - It was horrible. there were cockroaches running all around the floor & on the “clean” towels which were also stained. there was trash, dirt & hair in the shower when we got into our room. they never cleaned our room or took our trash out, we were there for 2 days. the peephole was basically just a hole in the door & people could see into the room if they tried to look. the floors were so dirty that the bottom of our feet were black after getting out of the shower. the doors also had a space where light could shine in & made us feel unsafe like someone could break in easily.
- Rafael (2/5): - Bad choice
- Josh (4/5): - It was run down
- Jose (2/5): - Ese dueño de esa propiedad es un ratero no lo recomiendo
- Helen (2/5): - I don’t recommend at all this property.
- Jaime (2/5): Discussting - The deak man was extremely rude! The room looked like it hadnt been cleaned in months! Hair all in shower. Filthy floors and walls. Shower floor dirty. Toilet discussting. Paint chipped all iver ceiling
Amd felt gross!
- My (6/5): - Good
- jim (2/5): Do not recommend - Used q tip under the bed. 10am check out and I think we were the only ones there. Definitely the only family.
- Ferodous (2/5): - Need to renovate 911
- april (6/5): - I like the quick response to the maintenance team when called upon.
- deborah (2/5): - .
- Paul (10/5): - It's a motel, staff doesn't play, and as long as you work with them they are amazing at taking care of things when it's most important
- Jason (10/5): - It's all good
- jerrin (6/5): One night stay - The rooms were dated, however very clean in the bathroom very clean
- Mervin (2/5): - During my stay I did not have a tv for the first two days.
Also there was mold and roaches around fridge.
- Angie (2/5): - It had bed bugs
- Marc (2/5): - Creepy and bad people hanging around
- K9345KNpatrickm (2/5): Worst hotel stay ever. - Disgusting hotel. Sheets have stains. Smoke alarm was disconnected. Found someone’s beard hairs in the sink. Aluminum siding was hanging off the building in front of our room. Towels were so old you could see through them and there was hair in them. You’d be better off sleeping in the street.
- Pamela (4/5): - It was old and not really taken care of as good as it should be no climate control in our rooms noisy
- Adam (2/5): - I warn you - do not stay here. It is not clean, it is not safe, it is the worst place I have ever witnessed in my life.
- Pauline (2/5): Gross - Avoid this at all costs. Disgusting! Mold all over the shower curtain. Sheets were dirty. When I told them they handed me new sheets. Here you go he said. I left within an half hour. So gross
- James (2/5): - TV did not work then I go to take a shower and there is no hot water then I also never got my security deposit back and I've contacted them numerous times.
- Ken (4/5): - The good:
- bathroom has been renovated.
- sheets were ok
- bed was ok
- air conditioner took a long time and was loud but worked ok
- newer tiled floor throughout.
- comfy office chair
- roomy
The not so good:
- dirty curtains, don’t even close unless you poke a nail through the fabric.
- sketchy neighborhood
- baseboards, trims etc need replacing as they’re filthy and banged/chewed up? And some are missing
- dated bedspread wasn’t clean
- fridge was rusted out at the bottom of the door
- couch springs broken
- thin walls/doors
- lamp switch missing
- broken door on dresser
- smelled like pee by the beds?
- toilet base full of dried pee and hair
- grease stained shower curtain
We should have left but it was late and we had a very early flight. Didn’t sleep all night as there was sirens and street /back alley noise.
We often stay in budget hotels and quite enjoy them and supporting smaller local businesses. We aren’t fussy and just want a clean room, and a comfortable bed. This is the worst place we’ve ever stayed in. Our cost Canadian was $227 with tax. Complete rip off. You’d have a better sleep in your car. I see they have some better business bureau complaints they haven’t responded to. How do they stay in business? The neighbours were out early in the morning and they said they didn’t sleep at all and had a horrible experience.
- Derius (2/5): - Terrible stay my sheets was dirty.
- christopher (6/5): - Well it had a broken washer and dryer also had a missing fire extinguisher also the roof was collapsing in some portions it had boarded up windows on some units all of my outlets were not working properly i could not watch Fox News and there are people living there out of necessity that need those items addressed as far as myself i can sleep in a box as long as it has a lid lol Hollywood out!
- cesar (2/5): -
In this hotel I had a very bad time, there were cockroaches everywhere and in the refrigerator I found cockroaches. The man forced me to give him 50 dollars as a deposit and he still didn't return it to me.
- Glenn (2/5): - Booked this online. Presidents holiday weekend. There weren't many options. My wife walked in the door, turned around and walked out. We didn't stay.
- Rebecca (6/5): - The rooms and shower were dirty and poor condition. In dire need of repair. Sheets had holes, there were roaches and minimal warm water.
- Jerald (4/5): - I wasn't expecting a high-quality experience, but at least the basics! No TP in the bathroom. No mirror at all in the room. The parking lot was very cramped. The area has quite a few homeless folks too, which isn’t necessarily bad, but just something to be prepared for. I got stopped a couple of times asking if a shelter was open or if I had food. They were nice, but unexpected.
- Larry (2/5): - No working light in bathroom . Door was broke. Didnt change towles daily when we asked they said thats all we get for 4 days. 2 towles. People hanging in front of building. Worst ever.
- Adam (10/5): - Our stay was very nice, thank you so much
- Dukens (2/5): - Bad overall service.
- Jackie (2/5): - We ended up canceling because the motel was awful
- Clinton (2/5): - Looks nothing like the pictures and is disgusting
- Angela (4/5): The most terrible experience - Blankets with blood
Burned
And request deposit is a nasty hotel
- Mark (2/5): Disappointed - I never checked in. The website said it was pet friendly and it wasn't. I'm very disappointed. Still waiting for refund. Your website is misleading. I'm contacting the better business bureau on this. I wanted to reserve the room and your website took me to booking instead. I'm tired of being ripped off.
- Luis (10/5): - Rude front desk and sheets dirty
- Andrea (2/5): - The gentleman at the front desk was very rude. I never even checked in. He was just that rude. I would never prefer anyone to that property ever!!!! He has the nastiest attitude ever. An i don't want to edit my review. It's in the heart of 14th street. So i guess he feels like all American people are bad. He doesn't give people chances. He judge you before he knows you. An that is very bad....
- Phillip (4/5): No hot water - No hot water. Sketchy nieborhood
- Basil (2/5): scam booking - i did not stay at hotel , it was a drug infested area , with drug addicts and drug sales around the hotel
- Rebecca (6/5): - No sign for motel. Had to rely on GPS and ring a bell at the office to ask and get key. Thought it was a hotel, but was motel. Air conditioner/heater was in wall unit - noisy. When leaving couldn’t find my 2 bags of organic nuts. I had placed them in front of Tv and didn’t move them after for any reason - room deposit was returned - no problem
- Leslie (4/5): - Expensive and was not clean and tv did not work. Owner watches you by camera all the time.
- Leslie (6/5): - Price is expensive and tv did not work
- naiem (2/5): NEVER EVER AGAIN! very dirty motel! - I would never book in this property again! They declined my employees card and wouldnt take mine. Made him find an ATM for deposit after he got dropped off at the Motel. people are very unprofessional!!!
- Catherine (8/5): Dated and average - Dated, older but solid room and TV. Area had many restaurants. Average but good
- Reid (2/5): - There were roaches in the room and it's impossible to hear the man that takes tour reservation. No hot water for the shower.
- Bryan (2/5): - Cockroaches everywhere. TV wouldn’t work. I was there six days and the people wouldn’t fix it. They kept promising to, but never did.
- Benjamin (10/5): Amazing stay - Peaceful
- jada (2/5): Naiem ringo stay - Didnt stay! whike checking in one of the guests came into the office with a video showing he had roaches in his room.
- Fereidoon (4/5): - Overall, in very poor condition.
- Verified traveler (2/5): Keep on going. - The room smelled very musty and the wall shaker a/c kept shutting off even though it was on the lowest temputure it would go 64 and fan was on not auto. The bathroom had all dirt stained towels and a half roll of tp. There were no pictures on any walls. The giant closet was there but no bar to hang anything on or pegs.the TV was a 24 inch. No lamp just a ceiling light to light up the room. A night stand and a kitchen chair were in the room as well as a mini frudge and microwave which didnt dare open due to the roach motel on the floor next to them. We did feel a bit secure with the bars on the windows. The double bed, (I swear, because it was small) had stained sheets and a comforter from 1978. The mattress itself had black stains so no luggage what-so-ever were brought into the room and we got to enjoy 2 useless pillows that were as flat as Nebraska. The floor was covered in sand as well.I am not sure who the front desk guy thought we were, but I had to pay a 50.00 deposit for what I'm not sure. The room was 83.00 a night plus all the taxes and fees, but not worth it. I should have just kept driving. I don't expact a whole bunch for that price, but something at least clean and relatively comfortable. We were tired and wanted to eat and sleep so it did its job, at it absolute bare minimum.
- Steevens (2/5): - Bad experience ever !
- Benjamin (10/5): Welcoming - Great stay
- Sierra L (4/5): Family emergency, needed a room - A very small and dated hotel located on the cusp of downtown. Rooms were also small and had roach traps. Not only do you have to pay for your room, but also each guest. Parking lot was a tight squeeze. Definitely not worth the amount I paid.
- Teofilo (2/5): - I did not get any notice that I couldn't check in after a certain time. When I got there no one was at the office and it was closed.
I did not stay the night and would like a full refund.
- Idalia (2/5): - Needs updates on AC units, beds, fire alarm, water heater, windows, parking lot, mirrors inside the room, change shower curtains every new occupancy
- Jakobi (2/5): - Did not like the roaches on every surface. Check youtube for the Videos. I will Tag @Expedia so they are easy to find.. Maybe don't make proper refunds a difficult task so I don't have to dispute the charge.
- Ronnie (2/5): - The management was terrible there was no hot water spend half of the night arguing with the man bout the television did not play he didn't care the picture on the web site was not what the place looked like just awful I tried cancelling and getting my money back this place had nothing no heat nothing just very shameful
- Wilson (2/5): - Poor maintenace
- Mia (2/5): - Horrible
- Edson (2/5): - Several cockroaches in the bathroom. Bad smelling bed linen. Broken door, old furniture. Rust. Terrible.
- Monica (2/5): - Unsafe, old, cramped, dirty.
- Joel (2/5): - Did not stay a single night. Rooms were filthy, moldy. Mattress has stains. Random people outside smoking funny things. Lost my entire payment for the week for 2 rooms. Should remove from availability. Pictures online are false advertisement.
- Diodany (4/5): - We where really in need of a place to stay for the night and this one was the only one available. I don’t mind about the noise, even the unsafe area but PLEASE clean the floors! Thank you.
- Oscar (2/5): - Nasty place
- Esther-Starr (8/5): - My room was clean didn’t have any problems with it being dirty or gross. The guy behind the counter was very helpful. It was better than expected after reading the reviews I was a little worried. But it turned out to be good. All I needed was a place to sleep. They sell drinks and snacks in the office, which made it very convenient because I do know that the neighborhood Is not a good area. But I did not have any problems at all. I thought it was going to be very noisy and people everywhere, but it was not. They do not allow people to be wandering around the property all in all I give it a thumbs up.
- Natanael (4/5): - Is to old walls and doors
- Larry (4/5): - There was no smoke alarm the AC unit would only go to the low setting bathroom door was hard to shut send there was vending machines n there wasn't any
- Julia (4/5): - Room air conditioner, no shampoo or blow dryer NO BATHROOM MIRROR!!!! Dirty, hard to check in or out ( limited office hours).
- Verified traveler (2/5): Methadon clinic basically - It was a nasty place, refrigerator was leaking a sticky nasty brown paste, sink leaked water very bad would flood the bathroom, the shower was VERY VERY DIRTY hair, dirt, a blood stain, the shower curtain had yellow and brown stains on it, the towels were yellow, and if you want to try and save money and book the room for 1 person and had 2 people in the room they will kick you out, NO GUESTS lol
- Shawn (2/5): OMG! - Trust the reviews. This place is a dump. Super sketchy area and clientele. The rooms have new tile on the floor and shower but that certainly doesn't make up for the roaches scurring across the floor and furniture. Not worth even a half star. Use the shower if you need to and sleep in the Publix parking lot you'll be safer and more comfortable. That's what I did.
- Chrishauna (10/5): - Great experience!
- Raquel (2/5): - Terrible. Es muy sucio, la cama estaba muy sucia parece que no habian cambiado la sabana. La cama parecia usada. Huelen las habitaciones terribel a cortinas húmedas. No lo recomiendo ni siquiera para una noche. Da asco acostarse en esas camas. No hay limpieza adecuada
- Daniel (2/5): - Took my money and no one there to give me a key to stay. Never got to stay. I want my money fully refunded
- Brandy (2/5): Not worthy for pigs to sleep in - The mattress was so disgusting I wouldn’t suggest letting farm animals sleep on it. I walked out as soon as I saw it and found a new hotel.
- Alexander (2/5): Meth and hooker heaven - they require you to check in before 8pm because the employees/owners do not even feel safe there after dark. Place is inhabited by prostitutes, drug addicts and cockroaches. If you enjoy smoking boulders, pinning arm beers and plowing dirty hookers this is the place for you. Bed sheets had holes burnt in them in the shape of spoons. mattress cover had black mold and have probably never been changed. I should probably go get a penicillin shot. Pictures on this site are no where near what it actually looks like. shame on hotels.com for allowing this crack house to be listed on their site. PS the guy that lives in room 10 was selling meth to a lady with her kid in the back seat. It kinda felt like i was in an episode of walking dead with all of the homeless drug addicts walking around. I do not understand how this place is even legally allowed to be open.
- yue (2/5): - everything is Terrible and unsafe
