The staff was rude and seemed it was inconvenient to do any customer service help. They allow people to park in handicap parking because they have faded paint marking them. They asked me to move my car to the back lot. My bathroom leaked water and flooded the floors and ceiling. They moved me to another room on next floor but didn’t help me move my things as they said they would . I’m disabled. They put me at the far end of hallway then beat on my door once I finally got it to my room to unpack again and demanded the luggage rack back so someone could use it. Mind you I just started to remove my stuff off it. So rude! I was in so much pain. Another patron came by to help me. But no staff.

It’s close to a highway and you can hear motor vehicles all the time day and night
I was bitten very badly by BED BUGS. I was at one point a very frequent customer. Over time, conditions seemed to have gotten worse. I often would get itchy sheets with burn holes in them. My last stay there my body was covered in bites. There must have been a nest or something because they got to my foot and ankle the worst. The rooms tend to be dirty even when cleaned. My children often get reprimanded to keep their shoes or socks on because the floor makes your feet pitch black. Since then I have chosen other hotels without bugs to frequent. It sucks too because they really are a budget friendly option with no deposit, but you definitely get what you pay for.
