Nah this isn't it
The hotel and rooms are in rough shape. I saw a lone roach on the wall as I was leaving. Common areas had lots of chipped and worn paint, and the clientele felt sketchy. My room had no towels, washcloths, or flat undersheet, just a thin, rough blanket with a flat sheet on top of the blanket. The staff were friendly and helpful, and everything in the room worked. Being unfamiliar with this particular brand, I expected something like a Days Inn, but it's like a step below Econo Lodge or Motel 6. I’m glad I only stayed 1 night.

The smoke smell was very strong and bad. There was also a lot of noise. These things made the stay very horrible for all of us. We ended up leaving in the middle of the night, we could not stay there

Nice room. Pillows are very thin. No coffee in the rooms and none in the lobby but didnt ask either so there might be. One drawer was broken and completely missing the bottom but didnt need it anyway. Was a nice stay up until the last day and got woken up around 8am Sunday to power washing directly outside the room.

Rooms smell like smoke. Basic accommodations like iron and ironing board was not available. House keeping available only by request if they have time. High volume of questionable traffic and activity…police was on site often. Highly recommend NOT booking this location

Repulsive
Upon arrival the lobby stunk of mold, when I got to my room the door wouldn’t even shut or secure at all. There was a toilet seat in the corner of the room that had just been left there, bugs EVERYWHERE, all different kinds, the room stunk bad like cigarettes and mold, splatter marks everywhere bodily fluids, pubic hairs in bathroom and carpet not even connected to floor. Second room was just as bad, had to cancel and look for better accommodations. Absolutely disgusting

This was the worst place ever, the room was dirty, she sheets had stains on them, it was people outside of my room doing drugs, guy were in the parking lot arguing over who had the best prostitutes, the bathroom wasn’t clean at all, the photos of this property are very deceptive and it is not in no way shape or form a hotel it is a motel. DO NOT STAY HERE

Could not check in early as promised when making the reservation. Non smoking room reeked of cigarettes. Water pressure was barely there. Toilet and shower not very clean. Didn’t even want to be barefoot in the shower. NOT as advertised. Low grade motel rather than a decent hotel as shown in the pictures.

ISSA TRAP HOUSE, THE WHOLE PLACE!! COMPLETE WITH DRUG ADDICTS, LADYS OF THE NIGHT (AND DAY), TRASH ALL OVER THE PLACE, AND CRAPPY ROOMS!!! TAKE YOUR FAMILY ELSEWHERE!!!
We witnessed several arguments from random folks hanging around, seen a lady completely naked, someone's underwear were on the lobby floor when we checked in, someone ran up on my daughter and her Bf, witnessed someone vandalize a vehicle right in front of us. The whole place is a trap house and full of sketchy people who stare at you. We did not feel safe and I kept my forearm nearby. Don't come here. EVER
