“good place to stay on a budget”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 September 2009

the hotel is clean and the staff are friendly. the lobby looks great. and ample parking. the hotel is clean and they have non smoking rooms, not like other hotels that say they have non smoking that means no ash tray in the room. the room does not smell at all. they have free high speed internet and have a grate location and easy access to the freeways and restaurants and shopping. good place to stay if you don't want to spend a lot of money like i did when i stayed in downtown dallas last time when i paid about 98.00 dollars for the same type of room and service. i saved about 45.00 by staying at this hotel which means i have money to spend elswhere. and i even got free breakfast in the morning.

“Worst hotel ever--unless you like sleeping in a nightmare.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 July 2009

We stayed three nights. Two of those nights we had to change our own sheets because they had someone else's hair and body fluids in the bed. The last night--in a different room that we had to be moved to because water began pouring from the bathroom light--there was hair in that bed also.

The Internet didn't work correctly.

The door to the pool will not let you back in because the handle has been broken off along with the hotel key reader.

The entry way smells like really srong B.O.

The ceilings are only 7 feet high.

I got the impression that the majority of rooms are filled with Middle Easterners living in the hotel.

Parking lot almost empty on the July 4th weekend in Dallas!!!! I should have read the reviews first.

Oh, and we killed a big bug in the room.

It really got to be a comedy of errors.

“Don't go out at night.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 April 2009

The same car alarm kept going off all night - obviously it was being used as a doorbell for drug purchases. Unsavory characters in the laundry room looking like pimps. Homeless people coming in off the street to help themselves to the continental breakfast (which looks nothing like the picture they have on the wall). The rooms are small but do come equipped with a fridge and microwave. The scene at night is way different than it is during the day. I suggest that you stay in your room after hours!

“Lovely hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 March 2009

This hotel was great for me and my wife. They have a wonderful breakfast and best of all a beautiful outdoor swimming pool. We stay at this location when we are in town we love it because of the friendly service.

“Gross, stinky, filthy, smelly and scarey”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 October 2008
1
person found this review helpful

Smells as you walk into the motel. Stayed in rm 105. It was so disgusting! Stains on the chair and carpet. Bad smells came from the air conditioning. The window only opened 2 inches. Help! Feces on the wall in the bathroom. Mold all over the ceiling in bedroom and bathroom from something leaking prior. I dropped a pen. I had to look by behind the disgusting chair and no one has cleaned there for years! Big burn spots cut out on the blanket in a no smoking room! Fuzzy tv stations. When I went to the desk to complain and see what they could do, I was told I had to wait until the Manager, Sunny was avail the next day at 9am. When I returned again the next evening (my training was 7:30 am to 7pm) I was again told the manager would only be avail in the morning at 9am. I checked out at 7:30 am. I got no sleep because it was so disgusting. I already paid $190 for 2 nights and the cost of getting there, so I didn't have more money to pay someplace else. There was also a bug trap on the floor in the bathroom.

  • Liked — absolutely nothing...free newspaper
  • Disliked — awful smell in room from air conditioner, mold all over ceilings, feces on walls, filthy
