“Scary and dirty.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I had a Doctors appointment close by at KCMU so it was very convenient to that. The neighborhood was scary and as a budget traveler I've been in a few of them before but this was really by far one of the worst. The staff people were pleasant but other than the ability to get a shower and a bed to sleep in I would have been better off sleeping in my car. Moldy shower curtain and overall dirty amd poorly maintained. I won't be returning.

“Affraid of Freddy Kreuger? Stay here because you won't sleep”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 July 2011

Worst motel experience that I ever had. The room next to mine had a party going on and our rooms were adjoined with a locked door between. The party lasted until 5am! I called the front desk at 3am and they said that they'd contact the room to be quiet. That never happened, so I called the desk again 30 minutes later and the front desk picked up the phone and hung up on me! To make matters worse, there was heave smoking in the party room that seeped into my room. The a/c didn't work well, either - and it was 95 degrees that day. Don't stay here if you want to actually sleep.

Room Tip: Sleep in your car if you want better rest.

“Scary and unsafe”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 July 2011

We were attending a wedding in Kalamazoo, and the photos on this one didn't look bad. I'll be honest--I didn't see a lot of negative reviews for this hotel until AFTER I had booked! The hotel is in a bad area of town. A lot of the people there live there permanently. Since we had already paid and weren't going to get our money back, we stripped the bedding looking for bedbugs (didn't see anything) and peeled off the comforters. We had reserved three rooms, and one of the rooms in our party left and went to a different hotel. They had spiders in their shower and the air didn't work. Honestly, I was glad they took our vehicle with them, because I would have been scared leaving it in the parking lot overnight. Anything coming from the ice machine would have given you a disease, I'm sure. I warned my family not to touch it.
Just not worth the cheap price. Pay an extra $20-$30 a night and get something decent.

“Stay here only if it's your last choice.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 June 2011

My friend and I stayed here 2 nights to attend a dog show and had 3 dogs with us. The overall area is a little questionable, but we were able to go for a walk around the neighborhood and see the nice parks and historic houses.

I didn't check-in or see the lobby, so I can't comment on the process. We had a room with an indoor corridor which was nice with the weather and having to take care of dogs. There's only one small patch of grass in the back, the rest is cement. The room was decent size, fairly clean with plenty of space for luggage, dogs, etc. I felt compelled to check thoroughly for bed bugs and luckily saw NONE. The alarm clock was not plugged in as the cord didn't reach the outlet. One of the lamps didn't work, but the TV was fine. The beds were OK to sleep on, but nothing to write home about.

I had an issue with the bathroom though. The towels were quite small almost like oversized hand towels. The standup shower (no bathtub) was not clean to the point where I stood on a washcloth while showering. There were clumps of hair, pieces of soap wrapper and an overall feel of uncleanliness. Everything was in working order otherwise.

My stay was quiet, no problems with people or loud noises. The outside parking lot was NOT well lit at all, so going outside at night was not the best situation. This hotel was good for a few nights stay and that's about it. As long as you're not in the room much, it could be tolerable. Honestly, it should be torn down and rebuilt or take over a different location.
