“Dried bodily fluid, alcoholics and dirt everywhere.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 November 2007
3
people found this review helpful

It was the most disgusting place I have ever stayed, bar none.

The carpets were as old as me, 35. Hair and sticky stuff was in through the carpet, we did not even walk without shoes in the room. The curtains were half off and stained yellow. The oven did not work, and we decided we did not want to use it anyway, due to the lack of cleaniless. The bathroom smelled like something rotten had died under the floor. Th bedroom had parts of the floor that was acutally sunken and broken but covered with carpet. I actually tripped a few times due how depressed the hole was.

The kicker was the neighbors. There were many people who live there all summer and some are druggies and alcoholics. The room next to us cooked a sausage on the electric burner without a pan and set the fire alarm off more then once. They were loud, drunk, and totally out of line for a public place.

If you like meth heads, dirt, and dried human fluids, then this is the place for you. But if you have any self repsect, you'll pick another place.

Believe me, its worse then you could ever imagine.

“Just thinking about this hotel makes me nauseus!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2005

people found this review helpful

If there was a lower rating than 1 circle, I would have used it. We stayed there BRIEFLY (1 night in summer 2000.) Saying that it was horendous would definately be an improvement on how it really was. We had just arrived off an extremely long set of flights and were exhausted. We drove our rental car to this place to rest and were shown our room. This room was just nauseating!! It was filthy,smelled horrible, and the curtains were grimy. The whole room smelled of smoke. The carpets hadn't been shampooed in who-knows-when.. My 2 children had to sleep on the pullout couch and half the springs were missing and there was a VERY large blood stain on the mattress. If it had not been so late and we had gotten off of a series of long flights and layovers, we wouldn't have stayed even ONE night. As soon as it was morning, we immediately got a refund on the remainder of our reservation and stayed elsewhere. I would NOT recommend this place to anyone.
