Thank you, Zain for your comments on your stay. We apologize for the inconvenience of not having your reservation downloaded from Expedia at you check in time. Our Property Management System had a maintenance update and due to this was not transferring any reservations from any of the websites that can reserve our hotel. I will definitely have a conversation with our staff to make the check in smoother.

Tried 2 different rooms the condition was filthy and had to go find a different motel room at 11pm at night it was just that disgusting. The front desk did agree to refund our money. There was an open condom wrapper among a lot of other things on the rug and the counters still had water imprints from cups left on counter. Just horrible :(

First impressions are everything and it was terrible! Broken windows, dirty, rundown looking, garbage piled up and over flowing and people laying in the entrance smoking. All that before you even step inside, once inside it doesn’t get any better. Dirty floors, beat up elevator, damaged walls, torn carpet. Haven’t even been in the room yet! The room smelled and looks very tired, there was who knows what splattered on the wall and the bedside table, stains on the walls and floors, poorly repaired ceiling and walls, heat/ac unit hanging off the wall for dear life, grungy old looking bathroom with horrible water pressure. And to make it worse I booked on Expedia for $130 tax in and my sister booked right through the hotel for $100 and she got a welcome bag of goodie’s too. All in all not a good experience with the hotel or Expedia. Find somewhere else to stay! We would have, but we were running late.
