Day 1 of stay…..turned down blanket to reveal bloody sheets. It was 11:30 pm so we accepted a room change and it appeared to be clean. Day 2 no service to room. Towels, soap, washcloths weren’t replaced and room was not cleaned. Both days we were with an ill family member and did not arrive at hotel till near midnight. So stayed that night and cancelled the last day and came home.

Don’t do it

I would not even stay even though it was too late to cancel. That’s how bad it was. It looked like the place was about to fall down. Do not book this place.

When we arrived we were not allowed in the building. Met the receptionist at I would call a walk up window. I was informed there is no continental breakfast even though it says it online. If you want coffee you can tell her and she will make it for you. We had a shower where the water went onto the bathroom floor. Three small pillows. Bed was comfortable and did have a tv. Pool was green so couldn’t swim. Location is good which is next to Highway. Rooms are inexpensive so if looking just to lay your head it’s good for the price.

Turned around at the desk and never even checked in. Roof collapsing and pieces laying in pool area. Some fool fixing a car in main parking lot, looked like 2 “ladies” of the night towards the street and definitely was concerned with drug labs and bed bugs. Still requesting full reimbursement since never stayed but was charged. Good luck with that i’m sure because the place needs to be torn down.

Worst place we have ever stayed in. The door didn’t close, room was very dirty. Homeless people outside walking around the hotel. Beware. Very dirty hotel.
They had bags over the smoke detectors. And it was going off.
Bed had hand marks on it, such a disgusting room. Floor was dirty. Bathroom was filthy

Disliked: Amenities
While the room was ok seemed clean enough and the bed was comfortable. Plenty of water pressure and hot water but the shower drain was clogged so water did not drain well from the tub. There is no breakfast offered so Expedia needs to remove that from the listing. The lobby seemed nice from the window but was unable to go inside during check in I assume due to crime the doors were locked and there was a glass bank type window to check in with the front desk. People seemed to be living at this hotel long term vs just a quick stay. People were up all hours of the night outside smoking and doing who knows what coming and going. Was noisy and the sliding glass doors to the rooms did not seem the be the most secure with just a little hardware store hinge lock added on since the primary door lock was broken. There was also the main door to the room which the primary lock did work. Seemed not to be the safest area of town. Back in the day was probably a nice hotel with the courtyard and pool area but really needs some major updates along with security to monitor and run off people coming and going all hours of the night probably dealing etc. Would not recommend due to sketchy area and folks staying there.

Choice Hotels has been a huge disappointment. After three bad stays at different properties, I’m done with this chain.
