Not Worth It, Even For One Night

Reviewed By jmariee025

I booked a room for one night, a place to stay after a concert. The first red flag was the very obvious cigarette burn hole in the comforter, considering the hotel was listed as non-smoking. When returning to the hotel (around 1AM) that night, the entire hallway and lobby reeked of marijuana. The hotel is also next to a large construction site so sleep was next to impossible.

Absolute Worst Front Desk Staff!!

Reviewed By ServantWifeMother

I did not actually end up staying here, but I booked a 2 night stay via Choice Hotel. I needed to change the reservation the day before and was told by Choice Hotel customer service that it was past the reservation cancelation deadline. They said that I would need to contact the hotel directly and that they would submit a request to the hotel for me stating that I needed to cancel it and why. When I called the hotel, the front desk worker told me that he could not find my reservation and that it must be at another location. I verified the address with him, but he continued to insist that I did not have a reservation with them. He then told me that I made the reservation and I needed to cancel it. I told him that's what I was doing as Choice Hotel told me to call him directly to cancel. He repeated the same line and then hung up on me. I would never EVERY stay at this hotel with service like that.

Disgusting, scary, pungent smoke odors, holes in bed linens, gross tub

Reviewed By BobbyCooperFM

I've been to plenty of budget hotels but this one was absolutely disgusting. There are more comfortable beds in dumpsters. The linens were full of holes, many cigarette holes. I asked for a non-smoking room and the room they sent me to was reeking of smoke. I was exhausted and tired. I called and they happily sent me to another room but that too reeked of smoke. The tub was disgusting. The TV didn't work right and I had to call the staff to get it corrected. I did not feel safe there. It was my worst hotel experience in my life and I'm old. The staff was nice though.

Zero Stars

Reviewed By Stacksexperience

Do not stay here. There was a car in the handicapped spot on cinderblocks in the parking lot that I should have taken a picture of to sum up this hotel. This hotel was awful. The first room we were put in was "non-smoking" but had been smoked in, so we got moved to a different room. The new room had a fridge that had some dirty wet paper towels frozen in the freezer section. The phone had no cord. The lamp didn't work. One of the bed covers had a red stain on it (ketchup or blood?). It was just a bad experience all around, and we were glad to have only booked one night. Will never stay there again.
