Horrible. I showed up and room wasn't turned over and a mess. Had to use the restroom and it was so bad i didn't have to go after seeing it. They said they would clean and only showed up with new sheets and pillow case. The blankets were a mess. Room stall of smoke. Complained right away. Called expedia. Expedia called hotel they wouldn't return call or give refund. Worst place i ever tried to stay at and I've been to some bad ones.

When I checked the reviews before booking there was a comment that some guests are permanent residents. I asked the desk clerk at registration and she said no. However, it did appear to me that there are long term guests. The woman trying to check in before me was refused a room after her ID was checked. I can only imagine why. The breakfast consists of the standard two waffle machines, three cereals, milk, tea, and coffee. I don't remember if there was juice but I'm pretty sure there was nothing else. We suffered from a building alarm that went off across the street in the middle of the night and continued for hours. The desk employee said it is a common occurrence. There were a couple cars with the occupants hanging around the parking lot when we arrived but they left shortly after we went to our room. The outdoor pool was closed after Labor Day and NOT clean anyway. This is a very low price room with breakfast. You get what you pay for.
