Mike, 4-night trip

2/10 Terrible

The location seems very unsafe, probably due to the county jail being 2 blocks away. Some questionable individuals walking on the nearby areas, and even entering the hotel. My wife would not agree to stay after all we saw and felt

The front desk woman that helped me was great. The room could have been cleaned a little better. Multiple stains on pillows and sheets. Didnt have a fresh scent to it upon entry either like you do usually when you walk into a hotel room.

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 Okay

Wipe everything down before you touch anything.
Ellis, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

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…..
