I will be as politically correct as possible. Feel free to read inbetween the lines. When I booked this "hotel", the most recent review was from a couple of years ago. I figured it still can't be that bad ...
I stayed here for 11 nights recently on business. Even though though I only had to travel to the next stoplight on Butterfield Rd.(less than 1/2 mile), it took 12-15 minutes. Butterfield Road is torn up going Westbound as of this writing. Otherwise, plenty of restaurants and shopping in the immediate area.
Upon check-in, and before I unpacked, I went to a grocery store and purchased bleach cleaner. I sprayed/scrubbed all human contact surfaces in the bathroom and kitchen. Clearly, this place hasn't had a deep cleaning in years, just a basic wipe down. Gross. The silverware, plates, etc., were purchased second hand 20 years ago.
As for the property guests ...... I wondered why I saw plants and sun catchers in the windows . I asked one of the maintenace guys if people live there full time and he said yes. You can figure out the rest. Quite a few of the guests didn't speak English and some like to sit outside on the picnic benches to smoke and drink beer. I also wonder if some of the residents' rent is government subsidized. Enough said.
In the parking lot, many of the overnight vehicles have ladders attached to vans and trucks. It seems like a lot of labor crews stay there. Then there are the poor fools like me who needed a good location because of long work hours.
There were a few business people who said they were staying there because their hotel of choice was booked or the company had to scale down travel expenses due the economy.
The rooms are only cleaned once per week. If you want clean towels, you have to take them to the front desk for an exchange. The girls check and make sure you have the towels that you say you do before they hand over the clean ones. Ladies - I have cleaning rags at home that are in better shape than your towels.
Good: Location and Quiet at night Bad: Everything else
