8/10 Very good

Clean but high traffic

Breakfast was hit or miss. We brought our own because we never knew how long it would be out. Not a big deal. The room was clean and comfortable. Even though it is by the airport, I never once heard a plane. The pedestrian traffic was high with little kids (very polite) in the parking lot. Lots of noise in the lobby from like 9pm to midnight and the halls always smelled like food. Overall it was a good stay for the time we were there.

I do not recommend

To many weird people walking around. Kids running around the property barefoot. No room service at all and I was there for 3 days. People smoking meth and weed right in front of the cameras. Also the pool was dirty and not working and breakfast was taken by the same family every day no matter how early you get there. They take plates of food to their room. Overall it was a horrible experience for a short getaway.
Amber, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Terrible

The bed sheets were nasty, the floors made your feet black, there was mold in the bathroom, there were no towels, no soap, the door wouldn’t even lock for extra comfort. You couldn’t even get comfortable in bed because you felt gross
Amy, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Slipping??

Have stayed here several times, but things have slipped last two stays. This last stay I had a room that had been smoked in by prior guests. There was a strong cigar/cigarette smell in the room. Hopefully thingss will get back on track.

2/10 Poor

Hotel needs a redo

The hotel room was not clean there was roaches in the bathroom and on the table in the room where u can eat at. Overall the stay was ok. The hotel is not what it says to be. I will never stay here again. If I have to rate my stay it will be a 2.
Noel, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Not that great

Looked like a drug exchange outside when my family and I walked in. It was weird. Very unprofessional the guy that I first encountered couldn’t help me had to call his mom. Had to wait for her to come check me in. She was nice but it’s weird. I didn’t even feel safe in the room tbh and was scared to leave my car outside.

Won’t be back here

You get what you pay for. After driving 12 hours, we just wanted to rest and give our 2 young kids a place to sleep. We didn’t sleep under the sheets, the place gave me the ick. It did its job, but absolutely wouldn’t stay again. Pros: room was large, AC was ice cold, quiet, front desk staff was super friendly, smelled clean and not like cigarettes or mold, didn’t see any bugs (which I was extremely worried about), elevator worked Cons: trash everywhere outside, pool was disgusting, area was kinda sus, very outdated and janky, bedding had stains and was uncomfortable, there was a dirty washcloth left behind in the bathroom, floor made our socks black.
Brittany, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Staff is friendly but not professional. 3rd floor is horrible a lot of open abandoned rooms room was just okay bathroom floors not clean. Bed wasn’t comfortable. A lot of possible homeless people live there or maybe weekly renting not sure. Stingy on towels called every day for clean towels. They do have complimentary breakfast stops at 9. If u looking for something just to get by stay there. If u looking for a pleasant stay go somewhere else. The only positive thing I could say is they are directly across from the airport BTR…..
Renee, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

The room was spacious and clean. The door was very difficult to close and lock. We were awakened at 5am by the loud talking of the breakfast staff. At checkout, the front desk agent was sound asleep on the front desk. Without being acknowledged, I simply left the keys on the desk and walked away.

2/10 Poor

The sheets had white stains on them, there was no soaps in the bathroom, the sink knob was broken, hair was in the bed, floors were sticky, hand prints on the wall, smelled like an old cigarette, and it was people knocking on the walls all hours of the night
Holly, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Met some cool people, third floor had a lot of messed up rooms. No ice machines. No laundry room. No gym. Elevator was scary. There was no sign on building or by the room. Pool was extremely dirty

Cross check with the Property for additional fees.

Not the best but not the worst. Minor issue became a bigger issue (had to change rooms due to toilet not working) and they told me I overlooked that a $100 deposit fee was required even though the room was paid for in advance. It is supposed to be refunded in 3 days. I will do a better job of following up with the actual property. Bed was comfortable but walls are thin.
