“BEDBUGS”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 November 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Bites on my face, legs, back. Very painful. I had to see my doctor and get several prescriptions--I looked like I'd been shot with a shot gun! I contacted the hotel and they told me pound sand, so I called the corporate office who was polite and sent me a letter saying the hotel was a franchise and they could do nothing. I then received a letter from the hotel telling me again to pound sand and threatening me not mention the ordeal.

Run screaming from this place--INFESTED!

“Don't believe any positive reviews”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2010
1
person found this review helpful

I rarely write any reviews, but believe that I have a responsibility to comment on this one. I have stayed in maybe one worse room in my life. The microwave and refrigerator that are advertised do exist, although I believe all of them were salvaged from the scrap heap. More than anything, I just didnt feel that the place was safe. The lock on our door was broken and there was no alarm clock. HoJo is right next door for the same price and looked very decent. I'd stay at a motel 6 or super 8 before this place. DO NOT BELIEVE THE POSTS ABOUT HOW BEAUTIFUL THIS PLACE IS.

“Acceptable for the price”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 October 2009

We stayed there for one night on our way to another destination. The price was right as was the location, so we shacked up there for the night. The room was clean, but basic. The location was acceptable, since there were some resturants around, as well as a grocery store. The AC unit didn't work as well as it should have, but we were too tired to care. All rooms open to the outside, and some are smoking friendly for those who use tobacco. The free breakfast was pretty weak, and we ended up visiting the Waffle House across the street.

“Stay away - you will be cheated!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2009
2
people found this review helpful

The owner of this place is a cheat! He tells people at the front desk to first offer good rates for rooms. Upon check-in he will get you to sign a form agreeing to pay a certain amount for the room rent via a credit card. The form is filled using a pencil! When you check out they want to charge a higher room rate. When you dispute, the owner (an abnoxious Patel!) comes out, takes a look at the form you signed, gets an eraser out and infront of you erases what was written and rewrites on the form!! How outrageous....he thinks people will not go to the trouble of disputing the charges. People like him need to be stopped from cheating customers!
