“Disgusting hotel--only stayed for 10 minutes”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 July 2010
3
people found this review helpful

Where do I start...it is in the "not so good" part of town..we rang the bell for 15 minutes before someone came to help us check in and then I could barely understand him. We had two rooms booked but the other people in our party couldnt find the hotel so they stayed elsewhere and Ineesh (front desk person) argued about deleting the reservation but finally did. Well we get up to our room and notice a good size what appeared to be a blood stain outside of our door--we PUSHED our way into our room as the door was broken. When we went into the room it smelled HORRIBLE--the bathroom looked like a truckstop bathroom as there was "stuff" smeared on the switch plate, the ceiling was falling in, toilet & tub were not clean--the sheets had pubic hairs on them and there was something on the walls at the head of the bed--there were springs sticking out from the mattress, part of the window casing was ripped off and a gap between the window and the frame where you could see light outside. It looked like someone smeared something on the TV--we decided that we were NOT going to stay there so we loaded everyone up--my husband in front and myself in back of our children (the hotel was not safe--dark halls and shady people) and walked back out to our truck. Went back in to tell Ineesh that we were not going to stay there and to cancel our reservation, but he was NO WHERE TO BE FOUND--spent 10 minutes ringing bell & he never came so we left the keys on the front desk. I have been in contact with guest relations at Choice Hotels trying to get my $$ back and they are saying that we only ever reserved 1 room & that one was cancelled and our card was not charged. I have sent them a copy of my stmt showing the money they charged to my card....still waiting for response. If you want to keep your family safe and feel cleen, DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL!!!

“These people are rip off artists - don't give them your credit card info!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 July 2009

people found this review helpful

Rooms were musty and smelled of smoke (non-smoking). My standards are not real high, but this place was lousy. They also charged me for an night on my credit card that I wasn't there - that was over a month a go and they still have not resolved it. I have called over 10 times and they have given me a different song and dance each time. Requested that the manager call me - he hasn't. Stay away would be my advice.

“WORST HOTEL EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2007

people found this review helpful

Hotel management charged my credit card twice for my stay. I have phone and spoken with them six times. Management assured me i would be refunded the duplicate charge, but it STILL has yet to be issued. They were also very rude upon being contacted on the issue. Three months later, i am still extremely frustrated with my experience at this hotel. LIKE THE PREVIOUS POST, AVOID THIS HOTEL AT ALL COSTS!

“Not Clean, Not Close To Quest Center, Avoid At All Costs”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 June 2006
17
people found this review helpful

This is the worst place I have ever stayed, and I can't beleve they actually in business. They sell it as newly renovated - and one block from the convention center. A lick of paint and new carpet can only cover so much when you keep the old dated furniture and old stained matresses. The sheets are full of burn holes, there is no blanket, and the bed spreads are covered with yellow stains. I was assured they were clean - this is unacceptable no matter how much you pay. There was no clock radio, the phone was so dirty it had to be taken away to be cleaned. Don't even think about a blow dryer, or coffee maker. Most of all the place was just so dirty - you will hate yourself if you spend a night here - just the worst of the worst. They expect you to sign your visa when you check in - no a good sign. To top it off, your incoming calls don't get answered at the front desk, and the voice mail doesn't work. No surprising at all. Avoid this place at all costs. If there are no rooms in the city, stay a little out of town to avoid this place. Not safe, and roudy at night.
