Room appeared tidy. Walking barefoot on the floor left us with black feet. Coffee pot leaked. Oven door had no/broken exterior glass panel. Adult I was with burned their self on oven door as it sprang shut. The kids started counting cockroaches after the 4th one, stopped after reaching dozen. Did not stay second night to avoid bringing cockroaches home. Stay was non refundable so lost needed $100 due to early checkout. Will not stay at any hotel of this brand again.

It's a halfway house for homeless, pretty scary activities going on, bad neighborhood. I was supposed to stay 3 nights, but checked out after the 1st night. Never using Expedia again, you obviously don't vet your properties.

I was shocked at how poor the room and surrounding area were. The cheap vinyl flooring was cracked, split and torn. The blow dryer didn't work. The curtains were cheap and too sheer to give privacy and most likely from the 1970's. The furniture was old and in bad shape. There was a glass sliding door (with the curtains that didn't give privacy) that looked out on a dirty back yard area with trash, a prison style fence, and close to the noisy highway. The pet area was full of dog poop because people didn't clean up after their dogs. The hot tub was dirty and empty. It also seemed to be in a seedy part of town. I was glad to leave in the morning! There's a Starbucks across the street, which is where I got my breakfast. Oh...I also found a used Kleenix in the sheets. It had obviously been washed and stuck to the sheet after drying. *Despite the old run down condition of everything it seems the housekeeping did a really good job cleaning the room. Desk clerks were nice. The owners need to put some money into cleaning up and remodeling the rooms.

I was so disappointed and disgusted with this reservation. When we arrived it was infested with cockroaches, stains on the beds, the ac wasn’t working, walls were dirty like they haven’t cleaned them in years. I went to tell the front staff if they could give us another room, because I had 4 children oldest being 8 youngest being 4 months old and wasn’t comfortable having them sleep in there. Mind you we drove almost 8 hours.. they told me they didn’t have anymore rooms and if we wanted to cancel it would be $200 on top of the $100 damage deposit I had put down. To top it off they when we returned from an outing The next day, our room had not been cleaned! I was so disappointed. Never again

They only cleaned once on our stay, and not well either. Most of the outlets in our place didnt work. The door to the bathroom door didnt close. The shower will either give you really hot or really cold water. The people at the front desk were helpful and nice, and the breakfast was almost always stocked.

Rented a room this past weekend for my son’s football game. So we got the double bed with the pullout bed couch. The place was clean, but the toilet was messed up, it wouldn’t flush, & the tv didn’t work. I went & complained to the front desk and the lady at the front desk said she would call maintenance. We waited an hour, and she came to the room door & explained that the maintenance man had left but she was nice enough to try to at least fix the tv. She wasn’t successful. This place is a disaster.

I booked a room with two beds and a sofa bed but when I get to the room there was no sofa bed, we had to all squeeze into two beds. I asked where the sofa bed was at and they said there was no more but when I booked the room I booked it because it came with an extra sofa bed

I was “upgraded” into a kitchenette that hadn’t seen a good floor cleaning in a long time, judging by the multiple gouges, scuff marks and splotches (origin unknowable) across the entire floor. Th AC unit blew right into heavy drapes and a lighter weight curtain which one was forced to tie back in order for the AC to function. Wait! I’m not done: the shower was supposed to be handicap accessible but whoever designed it should have his/her license revoked because: - once the water was turned on the entire room flooded making it extremely hazardous to move even a step - the water controls are located behind a ( supposedly handicapped) person who could be seated in a secured bench in the shower, making it impossible to adjust temperature without standing up and turning around (see flooding above) - the non-skid bath mat would’ve been great for a five-year-old but isn’t suitable for an adult, disabled or not - the flooding included the toilet area (same room) - a solution to the hazardous flooding was to make floor mats out of the bath towels supplied, which soaked up a lot of water - then it was safe to cross the room to a dry area (the above-described pock-marked flooring). Yes, ants and other interesting little creatures appeared to feel at home. One could only wonder what others went unseen. The kitchenette had a full-size range/oven, 12 cu. ft. refrigerator, sink AND a microwave large enough for a turkey 50 yrs ago. Not now. Gut it. -
