Tiana, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

The staff seemed very welcoming, but the hotel is very rundown and needs remodeling. It was nice that the rooms had microwaves and refrigerators, but it still needs to be renovated. There were also a lot of people wandering around outside at every hour. I didn’t feel safe.

Ronald, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

The hotel was disgusting with bugs on the beds and walls, and there is dirt on the walls and holes in the walls. The staff offered another room, but it was similar. Requested a refund through Expedia due to the misrepresentation of the hotel online.
Frankie, 5-night trip

4/10 Poor

Don’t let the word “BEST” fool ya! My room didn’t have a table or chairs. I had to use my bed nightstands as “table” and sat on my bed as “chair” to eat my foods! Bathroom was disgusting, toilet keeps making random “flushing” noises every 5 minutes. Shower water pressure was very slow and it took up to 4 minutes before you can get hot water. Tv works but I couldn’t get my remote to turn to other channels except Food Network channel. Only good thing is they got microwave/fridgerator. Also, parking lot was small and facing the 8 East highway. It’s my first and LAST visit to that inn.
Sebastian, 3-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Very scary and very smelly rooms. My room smelled like so much smoke was in the vents. I didn’t even stay the full night. I left because it was hurting my nose. Not safe at all, people yelling and screaming for the cops. Bad stay. Don’t stay here
Keenen, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

The sheets on the bed had not been changed. There was hair and dirt on the sheets
Jeannie, 1-night trip
