“Terriable Hotel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 October 2009

Wow. well as soon as we got there the parking lot was full of "shady" characters, the room dident have a remote, dident have a coffie maker, had cracks everywhere 2 little towels, and there were pubic hairs all over the comforter. we checked in the hotel, decided to settle for it because it was so close to bush gardens, untill we got back from bush gardens then the real nightmare started. the people in the next room were beating their kids, noise and racket throught the whole place, it was like a jungle. the front desk offerd to "move us to another room" when we quickly packed up and were leaveing, of course we declined. worst hotel ever.

“Should cost one dollar a night”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2009

The ONLY good quality of this motel was that there was available parking and a roof over our heads. When we arrived, the door would not open, and by the time we got into the room and settled we had to change rooms because the room they put us in was not cleaned from the crack whores (literally) who occupied it. The staff did not clean our room once. The remote control had no batteries. The TV had no bottons. The air conditioner was loud as [--]! Our neighbors were selling drugs and drinking at all hours! Very shady neighborhood, and teh hotel itself was nearly impossible to find! You could not pay me enough to stay at this motel again....enjoy!

“One Nasty Hotel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 February 2002

people found this review helpful

The bathroom was filthy, dirt in the corners grime in the shower. The toilet paper holder was broken, so the toilet paper just sat on the edge of the sink. The towels were so small, they didn't even reach around my 33" waist, and the front desk was stingy about giving out new towels each day. There was no towel rack.

The room was not cleaned once during our 3 day stay. It may never have been cleaned, when we arrived there was a dirty ashtray and lots of cigarette butts behind the night table.

The beds did not have fitted sheets. Instead, some old flat sheets were tucked into the underside of the bed. The sheets did appear to be clean, but they always came undone and you would wake up laying on a bare mattress. The mattress was vile.

The air conditioner was loud and only worked for 10 minutes before shutting off. You had to get up and turn it back on throughout the night.

I would have expected at least a clean room for $65 a night.
