We stayed here last week.
Paid for two nights.
Soon as we got in the room instant regret.
Smelled horrible, couldn't watch tv as the cable didn't work fully in our room so after telling the desk person and waiting over 4 hours I called back to the desk. Was forgotten so had to repack our belongings and move to another room.
Even worse!
The smell was horrible, filthy, roaches, very loud at this hotel, couldn't do laundry as the machines were broken (they looked like they were 100 years old) housekeeper was rude as can be.
I was told the jacuzzi room had 6 SETS of towels and wash clothes there was 2 towels so I went to the front desk to ask for a couple more and the housekeeper (her and her man were just sitting at a table in the lobby-cushy job) she got upset for having to get up and get more towels.
She rudely says only supposed to be 3 towels per room. 
Not her towels so what was the problem? Probably because she had to actually get up and move around God forbid but she is paid to do a job and not voice her opinion plain and simple
Our keys were deactivated the next day and when we returned close to dinner time I had to go and reactivate our room cards now one would think housekeeping would have done their job while we were gone.. NOPE.. but then again that would involve her actually getting up and working.
Now the desk lady (Missy) was great. (even though she's the one I called about the tv not working and she forgot for hours but other than that she was great. (Housekeeper and room was horrible and NOT worth $200 for the 2 nights PLUS a $50 deposit. For what? To spend a couple nights in a sh*t hole with roaches and the odors were disgusting OH and we had to buy light bulbs half the lamps didn't even have bulbs.
Chair was stained so no sitting there the desk chair was torn pretty bad also.
STAY away from the hole!
Over priced and disgusting (better off sleeping in or behind a dumpster probably would have smelled better)
One would think they would have offered a iscount or some kind of refund but nope just a greedy hotel owner charging insane prices and doesn't do anything to clean it or fix it up.
Laundry can not be done here Oh and I was told there was a pool.. Was right outside the second room we had to move to and was told its closed due to it needs to be fixed..
So why charge so much to stay here?
I am from Detroit (a bad part of Detroit) and I tell you what where I'm from was a lot safer smelled better and less noise..
Stay clear from this place!!
Had they of offered a refund or some kind of discount maybe it wouldn't have been that bad (yea it would have) but they didn't!
Owner needs to be forced to stay in one of those rooms for a week see how much they enjoy the smells roaches and everything horrid about this place

Horrible experience all the way around. Stinks, roaches, over priced, no working washer or dryer, some tvs won't work

DO NOT STAY IN THIS FILTHY HOTEL ! I didn't read the reviews before staying. 1st room was all smoke smell, I asked for a 2nd room and it smells like dirty old man. Walls are filthy with some tan splatter. No one cleans the mirrors or TV screens, weird splatter on them. No a/c covering just bare metal. The TV doesn't work. Mr. PATEL THE OWNER take pride in your hotel this is outrageous. I definately will call corporate and tell them they need to buckle down on this hell hole !

GO SOMEWHERE ELSE

We used Priceline to book this hotel and I should have known better. The beds were double instead of Queen sized, the room smelled of mildew, there was no desk chair or other furniture except the beds. The toilet was brown because they haven’t taken the time to de-lime. I was so disgusted that I didn’t even shower here. The “breakfast” that they offer is cereal, milk and something they are trying to pass off as coffee. Dirt tastes better then the coffee here. The only good thing was that the air conditioner worked well. The rest was atrocious. I’d rather sleep in my car next time than book at this hotel. 

The worker at the front desk had no identifying uniform or anything that suggested that she worked for the hotel. She was beyond rude and when I mentioned that I had a disabled person with me and that we’d prefer a ground level room she said no. 

This hotel should be shut down. It’s disgusting, not clean, the amenities are lacking, and the owners should be ashamed to have their name on this building.

NEVER book here

I’ve never written a review before, but omg this place is NASTY. We were driving through and my husband pulled over at this hotel.  Had I gone in to rent the room, I would have known better than to stay here. Lobby is nothing compared to the room though. I walked in with my kids and literally turned right around and went to ask for a refund. There is no way I’d stay there, let alone my kids. Room smelled of weed. Someone had put something over the smoke detector so they could smoke unnoticed.  It was still there. Floors were filthy.  Sticky with shoe prints in the grime. Towel displayed on the back of the toilet was filthy. Looked like someone washed off mascara and it obviously hadn’t been laundered. Tub was atrocious. Floors were the filthiest floors I’ve ever seen. When I asked the front desk for a refund, they were very, very nice.  They did offer me another room and took me to look at it.  The floor did appear to be newer and it looked a little nicer overall. However, I inspected it and it was equally disgusting. They were very nice and gave us our cash back.  It looks like people live in these rooms also. One room had a baby gate on the outside of the front door.  Another had house plants and other decor in the window.  Honestly, I am just blown away with how disgusting it was. I don’t understand how it’s not shut down. My husband has way lower standards than me when it comes to cleanliness and even he was disgusted and agreed there was no way we could stay here whether we got a refund or not. Long story short, don’t stay here unless you plan to bathe in bleach and get a shot of penicillin.

Absolutely disgusting

This is undoubtedly the filthiest,most horrible motel ever. The door chain was very flimsy, the walls were dusty as well as the tv screen. My wife and I checked in, looked around at the filth, pulled the curtain back on the tub and saw the dirtiest, filthiest bath tub EVER. Promptly asked for refund, and left. Since we paid with debit card, was told that would take about a week. Did not argue,just left. If you wish to stay at a cheap motel,do not worry about dirt and grime,and love a shower that even Tarzan would shun, this is the place for you!!

Horrible and more Horrible

This is one of the best hotal every. I would come here anytime to stay I'll even tell my friends this a beautiful spot to stay at when you just want to relax and have fun and the good thing we are near alote of restaurant

Best hotal

I’ve never written a review on a hotel before but this place is terrible we actually went in our room turned around and left I can’t believe they’re actually able to stay open the place is a dump!!! We were on lower floor there was a curtain but only half was hung the other half was just hanging to the floor..,oh the floor ripped up stained burnt carpet I’d be afraid to walk on it even with my shoes on!! Just take my word go anywhere but here!!

SCARY

The clerk had been working 18 hours ... that's unethical. Still, she was professional and helpful. Awake and alert. The room was clean. Hardwood floors. Nice decor. Disgusting towels. DISGUSTING towels. Towel on the back of the bathroom door...etc. Other than that, clean, quiet. SAFE. Decent place. Maybe treat your employees better!!!!!! They're not just numbers.

Nice place.

The check in clerk was wearing pyjamas and seemed half asleep

Filthy grounds and room.  Linen not clean.  Insufficient pillows.  Coffee maker not working.  Juice machine not working at the breakfast ? bar. Safety catch on door was broken.  Paint peeling off the bath tub. No internet working   $89.  I’ve travelled to India, China and many 3rd world countries and this is the WORST hotel ever.  I’ve written to the head office but no response.

Terrible

Unfortunately this is one of the few hotels that took dogs and wasn’t fully booked. Worst room we have had!  The room was next to their laundry so was noisy, the door to the room didn’t seal when shut. It closed enough for the lock but was loose and the was a gap at the bottom. The only thing good about this room was the bed. The microwave has t been cleaned, the refrigerator worked but was beat up, the bathroom was clean but in such bad shape.
