SHUT IT DOWN
It was disgusting, we couldnt even stay and sleep. The beds had ash holes on them. Yellow and brown stains on the sheets, the walls had a bunch of random stains and the room had RATS... Talked to the manager and his own words were "im sorry, the cleaning laundry is closed", basically telling me to just sleep like that. We checked in at 9:30pm, went out to club and came back at 2:45am. Only stayed 15 minutes before checking out after trying to have it cleaned. Photos speak for theirself.

The photos of this property are deceiving. The room smelled horrible, they have homeless people living there, the bed spread had burn holes in it. Did not feel safe staying there. Immediately checked out and found another hotel. DO NOT STAY HERE!!

The Worst Motel
The room was terrible. Only I towel and it was old and stained. It was supposed to be white! I will never stay at this dump again. The property owner needs to update the motel and take some pride in their business cause it’s so bad. There was also no TV remote and the TV did not work.
Charles, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This is the most ratchet hotel/motel I have ever been to. It was dirty. It smell really bad. We got two really small towels and both were full of stains. The heater in the shower didn’t work very well. And the toilet needed at least 3 flushes to completely flush. I wish I could give it 1/2 a start because that’s what this place deserves. And for $80 a night. Definitely wouldn’t recommend
Webster, 1-night trip

Terrible place to stay !
This place should be condemned. I’ve stayed in better hotels in third world countries! Towels looked like they use them to clean the floors. Found two roaches in the room. Never again !!!!!!
Martin, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

What we didn't like about the property was that there was several homeless and drug addicts living there, property was filthy, the pool was not available for use, roaches were crawling all night, poor housekeeping, sheets were never changed, also the room was in need of renovation and dirty
Jessica, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Horrible !!! Waste of my money Towels and sheets are dirty Crime area Smell horrible I had to leave
Muhammed, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I booked a "Suite" for 7 people. It turned out to be a single room with three beds, 7 pillows! Place was infested with bugs, the walls had seeral unfinished paint jobs, toilet was worn and the sink looked like an unfinished construction one. The front desk lady did not speak full english. And at night several times police cars where making rounds thru the parking lot and behind the hotel, not sure why. Will never use this hotel again!!
Luis, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Worst hotel imaginable.
BEWARE DO NOT STAY HERE! skid row. Mentally unstable, Homeless drug addicts, room was filthy and run down. mattress had huge dark stain that looked like someone died on it. Cockroach leg stuck to towel, big wad of curly long hair in sheets. The place stinks. allergies triggered immediately upon walking in Hotel.com will take your money to reserve, the hotel makes you sign before letting you see the room, and then refuse a refund when you find the conditions unacceptable. SCAM TO STEAL YOUR MONEY!!! I’ve traveled around the world and stayed in some questionable 3rd world places and this is far worse than anything I have ever seen. We abandoned the room, returned the key card to the front desk, and will be initiating a traveler insurance/ credit card chargeback. Absolutely horrifying place and experience. You have been warned.
Someone died on this
“Clean towels?”
Peel the sheets back to find this?we both have short hair 🤮
