    Review

    A chorus of angry, frustrated voices paints a bleak portrait of a budget hotel that seems to attract a steady stream of complaints about filth, pests, and a staff that many guests describe as rude or outright hostile. Across numerous reviews, travelers consistently describe rooms that feel far from clean or safe, with roaches a recurring and unshakable theme. One guest reports a room "full of cockroaches and smelled bad," while another calls the place "truly a disgusting hotel" where "filthy stains and stained sheets" and a pervasive odor ruin any chance of comfort. The smell of weed and general grime dominate many accounts, turning what should be a simple overnight stay into a stressful, disorienting experience. The common thread is not a single bad moment but a pattern of neglect, bad smells, and pests that refuse to be ignored.

    In-room conditions emerge as a major sticking point in multiple accounts. Guests recount beds that look and feel worn or dirty, with "stains on the floor and the beds," "stained sheets," and even a box spring that looks as if someone died on it. Several reviewers mention malfunctioning amenities: a TV that doesn't work properly, air conditioning that barely cools, and a microwave that fails to function. One visitor mentions a "cracked vanity counter with a sink that leaks," while another notes "no fridge" despite prior assurances, and a "brand-new ice bucket that leaks." The cumulative effect is a sense of constant disappointment, with some guests reporting that they could not comfortably stay in the room even long enough to shower or sleep, and that basic expectations for a clean, functional space are routinely unmet.

    The handling of serious issues by staff amplifies the discontent. In one particularly pointed episode, a guest describes an employee who actually went up to the room to "straighten the room back up so he could sell to the next person," rather than to address the guest's documented concerns. The reviewer also notes that management's response was not only dismissive but hostile at times, with accusations of racism hurled by the owner toward a guest who was simply describing what was happening in the parking lot. Other visitors recount rude, inattentive service at check-in, with phrases like "food all over his fingers" at the front desk and a general sense that frontline staff are indifferent at best and disrespectful at worst. Refunds become another flashpoint, with stories of deposits withheld for days or weeks, no receipts provided, and managers hanging up on frustrated guests when asked for clarity or refunds.

    The location and surrounding environment are repeatedly cited as troubling, adding a surreal layer to the experience. Several reviewers describe a parking lot that feels unsafe and unwelcoming, with "a table of people sitting in the parking lot, drinking and smoking weed," which is especially alarming to guests traveling with young children. The area is also labeled "sketchy," with mentions of ongoing construction and a sense that the property has little to no legitimate security or supervision. The combination of a questionable neighborhood and visible carousing in the immediate vicinity leaves travelers feeling exposed and anxious about what they might encounter outside their doors.

    Booking experiences and representations compound the frustrations. Some reviewers feel they were misled by third-party listings or photos that did not reflect reality, noting that Priceline reviews and pictures "totally fooled" them. There are also concerns about policies that feel punitive or punitive-sounding, such as explicit restrictions on late checkout and fees for exceptions. One guest describes a late checkout denial in blunt terms, while another recounts the announced policy of "you pay extra for this" when requesting more time to leave, echoing a broader sense that basic courtesy and reasonable accommodations are not a priority here. The sense of being trapped between a bad room and a poor business policy creates a lasting sense of grievance.

    Despite a few nods toward minor cleanliness or service adequacy from certain reviewers, the prevailing tone remains unequivocally negative. A segment of the comments includes a chorus of "DO NOT BOOK HERE!!!" and "0/10" sentiments, with some guests even calling out specific staff behaviors that bordered on harassment or humiliation. One guest juxtaposes the treacherous experiences here with a nearby alternative (mentions of a different hotel "right up the block" that guests felt offered a far better standard), underscoring the sense that the problem is not merely one bad night but a chronic pattern that turns a stay into a test of patience and endurance.

    In summary, the collection of reviews presents a consistent, troubling narrative: rooms plagued by pests, smells, stains, and broken or missing amenities; staff interactions that range from curt to openly disrespectful; management responses that sometimes escalate tensions rather than resolve them; and a location that feels unsafe and unwelcoming, especially for families. The repeated claims of dirty conditions, poor ventilation, and misrepresented services converge into a cautionary tale that many travelers would rather avoid. For anyone considering a stay in this area, these accounts serve as a stark warning to look elsewhere and to scrutinize room conditions closely before committing, with a strong emphasis on the importance of a clean, safe, and respectful environment that many reviewers insist this place simply does not provide.
