Will not be back here. Got checked into our room at 3AM after a long car ride here to find sheets in the floor, open beer left in our room, and the tv blaring. Totally unacceptable.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
We had to stay at this dump out of sheer desperation. It’s filthy, very clear they didn’t clean it after the previous guests checked out, staff is rude and won’t answer the phone, and our room didn’t have any towels nor soap and shampoo. For $320/night, it was a terrible experience. Avoid big time; in fact any hotel/motel that’s run by Singh Enterprises - these guys set the bar very low for hospitality.

Carpet was damp. Staff was cordial. Breakfast does not start until 6AM. I had to be at jobsite by 6AM. Printed TV guide did not match actual channels. No one to checkout. Unable to get a printed receipt making expensing difficult.

Neither of two rooms given to us ay check in had been made from the night before. Returned to the front desk, running into cockroaches in the main hallway, and got 2 new rooms. The lady checking us out the next morning was curt and not very good at realizing that she is in the _service_ industry. I have yet to receive my $50 deposit for incidentals after 10 days.

The entire 2nd floor reeked of fried fish! The smell was so bad that it lender into the hotel rooms. Therefore, the towels, the beds your items smell like fried fish. Now I love fried fish but there must have been some HEAVY duity cooking going on in that hall ways in order. When I asked the front desk about the smell, she chuckled and said, what I’m suppose to do we just opened all the windows in the hotel.

Dont stay here.

Bathroom was clean. However the shower needs to be replaced. The bottom slopes downward toward the middle on both sides and all 3 of us in this room almost fell while showering. Also, the bath and hand towels had a sour smell. We had to ask for sheets, blanket for sofa sleeper. The blanket had a musty smell. The sofa sleeper couch was dirty, and when we opened it up the mattress had springs sticking out and had rust spots all over it. The room is very old looking, in desperate need of an up grade. On a whole the hotel smelt like people oke weed in it alot.
