“Worst hotel I have EVER visited. NOT recommended.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 August 2007
1
person found this review helpful

We booked our room through Hotwire, based on the description that it was 2 star. I have stayed in 2 star places before, and trusted the description. This place was HORRIBLE. First thing we noticed when we got there was that all of the stairways were blocked off (this hotel has exterior corridors), and that people who were staying in the rooms had left bags of garbage outside of their doors. This made the cooridors smell, and attracted flies. Our room iteself was beyond disgusting. It smelled strongly of urine and smoke, so much so that we didn't close the door while we were there. The bed literally tipped forward when you sat on the end of it, and that tiny bathroom and "kitchen" area were visibly filthy and sticky. The room was too small to pull a luggage cart into, and was so humid you could smell the mold.

We left right away, and did not stay there. We went down the street to the La Quinta Inn (another 2 star hotel), and had a comfortable time.

I have stayed in many hotels in my life, and this was by far the dirtiest hotel, and the most unsafe, I have ever visited. Do not be fooled by the low rates, or you will end up losing your money like I did.

“You definitely get what you pay for”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 May 2007

This definitely does not deserve 2.5 stars - at best a 2! I booked thru Hotwire at a VERY low price - under $35/night I think it was. It served it's purpose - it was a cheap one night hotel I needed on the way to visit family. The room was clean so that alone deserves it the 2 stars at that rate.

But then it was extremely small (really only big enough for one person), shower stall only in a bathroom as big as a closet, hard bed with only 2 pancake flat pillows (one per person). Then the smoke alarm started beeping around 6am - unfortunately it was wired, not battery operated. The A/C was working when we went to bed, but stopped working sometime during the night. I also left something in the room. I called the day after we checked out and was told I would be called back in 5 minutes - I had to call back the next day.

Even if I was traveling out this way again, I don't know if I would stay here again. The check-in staff was fairly helpful - not so good at giving directions, but he tried. And the check-out staff really didn't seem to care about the problems with the room (smoke detector & A/C), or looking for the item I left in the room.

“Horrible experience”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 November 2006

If I could give this hotel a negative I would. Where do I begin, first of all I specifically asked for a non-smoking room. Only to get up to my room and what do I get a smoking room. The beds were tiny...I felt as though I was sleeping in my 8 year old son's twin bed. The walls were paper thin, I could hear laughing and talking in the room next to me. I heard trains and and traffic all night long too.
The whole experience was a total nightmare. Hotwire rated this a 2.5 star...........are you kidding me????

“Dissatisfied Customer”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 August 2006

I previously stayed at this hotel 2 years ago and my experience then was a positive one.

My stay at the hotel this year was very disturbing and unpleasant. The carpets were filthy and very nasty. The AC unit was leaking and caused the carpet to be wet and the room smelled very musty. There was an excessive amount of trash build-up in the corridors and this caused a stench and an abundance of flies to walk through.

I will never book at this hotel again.

“Bad Location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2005
1
person found this review helpful

I stayed here Sept 2005. The room smelt like stale smoke, and the A/C was undecided if it wanted to be warm air or freeze me out.

It's a HIKE to get anywhere unless you have a car... even to fast food or a gorcery store!!

The highway noise is a nuisance, however what made my stay pleasurable was the helpful staff... they're very nice here and went out of their way to try to accomodate me.
