“Roach Motel /Terrible Customer Service/Warning!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 September 2009

Please do not stay here. Worst place EVER! Live Roaches seen too late to leave since husband is handicapped. Did not sleep wondering what was crawling on me. Called for wake up call for Dr appt. No wake up call received nor did the alarm clock work. The bedspread/cover looked like it hadn't been washed in ???. I'm not one to complain, but please....when checking out..no "How was your stay", I had to bring up the problems. I did bring them a "PRESENT"...one of the German Roaches that I killed in a cup! I left that General Manager (if you want to call him that...appearance was awful)standing with the cup of a roach in one hand an apologizing in the other. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!AWFUL!!

“Great place to stay if you're a crackhead, actual humans should avoid!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 June 2009

By far the worst hotel I've ever stayed in. We were with a group otherwise we would have stayed eleswhere. The property has different zones of stench. The lobby smells musty. The elevator smells of old socks, of which there was one for the duration of our stay. Our room smelled like what I think a meth lab would smell like. There was obvious drug deals going on. The door frame to our room had been jimmied more than once. Carpet was frayed. The linens stunk of cigarettes and other repugnant chemicals. Horrible place. However if you are a crackhead, you might enjoy the conenience.

“worst motel ever”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 March 2009
1
person found this review helpful

This motel was terrible. The rooms smelled. The stairwell smelled of urine. There were people banging on doors in the middle of the night. There was a drunken party outside my room one night (2 am) and the next night there was a very loud, scary, domestic dispute (4 am). The staff was incompetent (they had my reservation wrong when I checked in and inspite for many attempts, it was still wrong when I left). It seemed like it might be an okay area because it's on the medical school campus, but it's the wrong end, and there isn't a coffee shop or convenience store or restaurant for at least 10 blocks. The Waffle House in the hotel was disappointing, even for a waffle house

“Clean It Up Or Close It Down”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 March 2009

this has to be the worst experience ive had in hotel life... this place is filthy and smells of urine and smoke the moment you hit the door. i booked this room with the intent of not having to worry about where I stayed as compared to why i came here int he first place ( critical care relative in nearby hosp. ) Id shouldve slept in the hosp waiting room the slept in this hell hole of a motel. " Inn " whats your defination of a "INN" a straw bed and cows and sheep sleeping with you. Dont waste your money, stay alittle bit farther away in a nicer place then this.. and there not cheap either...

“WORST HOTEL EVER ~ SKIP THIS ONE FOR SURE”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 November 2008
1
person found this review helpful

What was once a great place is now a true nightmare. The hotel is filthy and run down. We had reservations for a king, but were given a room with two double beds. We were told a reservation only meant you had a "room". After a long trip back down to the office, we were then escorted by Security to a room that had a broken card lock (manager knew card wouldn't work and lock was broke, but gave us cards anyway). Unbeknown to us at the time, to get into the room, you had to go to the office and get Security who used a metal "key" to open the door. We didn't find this out until we moved all our things from a foul smelling double to the king, went to eat at the nasty Waffle House and got locked out of our room. All of this happening at Midnight at 35 degrees standing on a balcony in the cold. We checked out and went to a wonderfully clean Comfort Inn Suite just 5 minutes away.

THE CLERK WAS ALSO EXTREMELY RUDE AND PATRONIZING. WHEN WE LEFT AND I WAS REVIEWING THE RECEIPT TO BE SURE WE WERE NOT CHARGED, I WAS TOLD TO LOOK AT MY "OTHER" LEFT.

  • Liked — LEAVING AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
  • Disliked — IT WAS FILTHY; STAFF WAS RUDE.
  • Stayed October 2008, travelled as a couple
