The pictures are definitely not what the full property looks like. It’s in a very sketchy area that did not feel completely safe. On top of that our balcony door was left slightly open which added to the feeling of being unsafe. It wasn’t dirty but didn’t exactly feel clean. People were in and out of the building at all hours and the door to the outside was loud when closing. I wouldn’t recommend staying here overall until some of the construction is cleared up and some more upgrades have been done to rooms. The staff was very nice so that’s a plus.

The door to my room looked like it had been broken into before and seemed very insecure. Breakfast was very disappointing in that all that was available was: coffee, waffles and toast. No jelly, no cream for the coffee, no milk to drink with the waffle, no knives to cut the waffle, no other food choices. The desk clerk said the owner was in Las Vegas at a conference and hadn't ordered enough breakfast supplies.

The price is good. Contonential seemed lacking. Microwave wasn't working properly. My door wasn't secure. The striker plate which holds it shut was missing. The only thing keeping it closed was the trim of the frame. I'd reported it and even have pictures but nothing was done to secure my room.

This hotel had so many problems. I don’t know if I can fit it all here. First, I was told that even though it’s advertised that there is free breakfast there is no breakfast. Then I got my key, went to my room & the room was a dump. Then I noticed that the balcony door was open, but locked. there was a big gap. I tried desperately to close it & couldn’t. The desk person came up (who was very nice) & got it to close, but then it wouldn’t lock & I was told don’t worry it’s very safe & no one can get on the balcony. then I saw that the front door has the bottom lock, but the safety latch was broken and when you open the door, it went right past the latch. There were gnats in the sink & spiderwebs on the ceiling. In the morning, they ended up having breakfast, but what they had was cereal, but no milk, bread & English muffins, but no butter. And the waffles that we cooked twice in the griddle, and they still weren’t cooked all the way, possibly because it was almost pure water. we were told that we could not get a refund because we booked through Expedia I spoke with Expedia and they tried to offer me $20 to stay there and risk my life. This property has a rating of seven point something with Expedia but only a two point something with Google maps which would make it about a four point something out of 10 the Google maps one is more accurate. That hotel is not a seven point anything ever even on its best daythe pool had green swampy water and there were residents as well as guest

When we arrived they gave us a card for a room where they were people already there, and when they move us to a new room the door was broken, the balcony was under construction because the celing fell and they were mouse traps in the room. We left the next day in the morning. We couldn't finished oir stay because of the awful conditions of this place.
