The hotel was horrible upon arrival the hotel smelled like cigarettes! Hotel room was horrible had no bathroom mirrors tub was dirty as hellll! asked for a refund & was charged twice . they money hungry as hell will argue you down about your money.
tyshera, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The room was dirty. The linoleum floors had something black that ruined my wife’s white socks. The white towels and wash rags had black in them. The whole building had a cigarette odor. We got two nasty towels and wash rags, no hand towels, no shampoo, one tiny bar of soap and the white shower floor was covered in a black stain. Nasty is the only way to describe this place.
bob, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Our experience at this hotel was absolutely HORRIBLE. Checking in took way too long. When we got inside of the room there was dirty underwear in the draws. The shower was dirty. The couch had a horrible smell to it. There was paper on the floor and the room smell like cigarettes. My husband and I are non-smoking. We did not stay overnight. We turned in our room key last night and drove back home. We were still charged for the night even thought we did not stay.

Good for overnight trip

It’s a decent hotel next to the airport. Very convenient, the manager on-site was very understanding, hotel:com doesn’t tell you theirs a deposit at all the locations
Lisa, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Once I checked in I went up to the room and saw the toilet had tissue in it I flushed the toilet it wasn’t working correctly. As I was leaving to report it to the front desk they were at my door to bring my ID to me. I informed them, they tried with no success. They said the would be back. I fell asleep. The next morning I informed the person that was at the front desk and ask for an iron. I received the iron. I left for the day when I came back that night it still was in the same condition. I just left they will never get a dime from me again.
Antonio, 2-night trip

Room was nasty..Pool was closed and water was green,No Breakfast
Marilyn, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Pro: directly across from the airport. Cons: shady people hanging outside of hotel at all times of the night/day. Rooms are outdated. Refrig needed defrosting...couldn't put anything inside due to ice buildup. View from backside windows is a junk yard or abandoned garage with junk cars.
MARVIN E, 7-night trip

2/10 Poor

Loud kids running up and down the hallway screaming and yelling ppl in the parking lot sitting in lawn chairs ladies walking around asking for drugs
Brooklyn, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The location seems very unsafe, probably due to the county jail being 2 blocks away. Some questionable individuals walking on the nearby areas, and even entering the hotel. My wife would not agree to stay after all we saw and felt
Enrique, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Would stay again

Can tell the hotel is being renovated, but check in was painless, friendly staff, comfortable room.
Braylon, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The snell of pot is felt all the time. Apparently, the hotel is been used as housing for some families. Kids running around, lots of noises, old and dirty towels, room floors dirty, slippery bathroom tub. Poor breakfast. People hanging out outside in the parking lot at night or Definitely not staying there again.
Sandra, 9-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Should have more proteins options for breakfast
Tanya, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean but high traffic

Breakfast was hit or miss. We brought our own because we never knew how long it would be out. Not a big deal. The room was clean and comfortable. Even though it is by the airport, I never once heard a plane. The pedestrian traffic was high with little kids (very polite) in the parking lot. Lots of noise in the lobby from like 9pm to midnight and the halls always smelled like food. Overall it was a good stay for the time we were there.
