Charging pet deposit for service animal
The ad for this.lroperty didnt mention that the pool has not been mantained and not available. They should remove it from the list of amenities as it was part of the reason I booked here. For $15 dollars more i could have had a pool AND a clean room. The ro om looked like it hadnt been cleaned in a month. The re were diry handprints on the bathrooom door and all light switches and a shoe print in the shower. Upon check in they said they were supposed toncharge a $50 deposit for my SERVICE DOG but would let it slide this time. A service dognis not a.pet and should not be treated as such. Overall the place is dismal at best.

A hotel that does not deserve the name America
When i got there the place looked rundown, like the hood. The person that took my money was behind bars and served through a small window. The room had a stain by the headboard on the floor. The mattress was very cheap, and has this big dent in the middle like an elephant had been sleeping in it. The mattress made a noise every time i moved. Sounded like a wrestling ring. I went in the restroom and had to fight off a roach. The ceiling looked like it had mold in the shower. Was not worth what i paid. Foreigners just trying to get paid is what i experienced. That place needs to be torn down. Its a dump for cheap people. You can tell that sometime unlawful goes on there!!!

I booked this last minute and was a little concerned with all the negative reviews. I expected the worst and was pleasantly surprised. Its not the Ritz but its what youd expect from the price. It was clean, the air conditioner was awesome and the bed was comfy. Sure , its run down and could use some maintenance but for a quick stay it was on par with a motel 6 or something similar. The staff could use a little customer service training as they seemed bothered at check in and check out, but again, what do you expect? Overall, the place was fine.

Broken TV, towel bar coming out of the wall, shower faucet handle off the wall. Previous customer hair was all over and in the shower. Rusty toilet paper holder. Sink drain had stuff shoved down it. Spiders and bugs present. It was supposed to be Americas Best…my kids said it was the Best of the Worst!

Find another place to stay
We were unable to stay. Returned key immediately after check-in and requested refund. The floor in the room was "soft" like someone had installed new flooring over rotten sub-floor. The lock on the door was flimsy, like the room had previously been broken into. There was a giant (3 ft x 4 ft) "patch" on the wall that looked like someone painted over unfinished work. Someone attempted to paint the room but did not "cut-in" properly so the overall look was very unappealing. Not that it was warm enough, but the pool was black.

Stay away
Place was made for narcotic sales and hourly visits. I walked in the room and left. I got a different hotel in a much better area where I wouldn’t get a disease or killed.

The hotel did not have a lobby. You had to talk to management through bars on a window. No smoke detectors. Holes in all the walls. Door did not close tight. Overall dumpy place.

Worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at
You could see daylight under the entrance door/not a good seal. The bathroom door did not shut. There are holes in the flooring where the vinyl planks don’t line up. The mattress is old and pillows were lumpy. It was a place to sleep, that’s it. We arrived late and had to use a window attendant to get our key. There was no one in the lobby in in the morning and it was completely locked. No coffee in the morning for guests.
