After checking in & saw the room it was disgusting. Health department should he notified. Stains on carpet. Broken widows .we immediately checked out & demanded a full refund. Their website is deceiving & needs to be updated looks nothing like the pictures. I wouldn't let my dog stay there.

Do not stay here
We've traveled over seas, and stayed in some dumpy motels at times, but this rates among the worst. The room had not been cleaned, the office staff was not helpful. We left and found another motel.

Not a good experience
The room had only one light in it. There was a hole in the bathroom door. No top sheet on one bed and pillowcase looked to be dirty. Electric base heater falling wall. In bathroom open bar of soap and we didn't open it. Bottle of shampoo was a partial bottle left over. In all we didn't stay!

Made the reservation by mistake so I tried calling left messages and nobody returned my call so I decided to still make the trip. When I got there, the lobby was locked so you have to ring the bell. When I went in, it stink like dog pee, and poop as a matter of fact, there was a dog turd in the lobby. The lady was really nice though, she apologized for the accident and proceeded to clean it, but the strong odor seemed like it’s been there for days.
Room was very spacious and clean. The floors needed to be swept and mopped, I had brand new socks on and they got dirty real quick. The bathroom was stocked and organized but it was missing washcloths. Bed was comfortable. Not bad for $60/night.

Never again
I was told where room was but how to get in was not explained except by some staying there or worked there. There was no towels and extra toilet paper. No one came to clean the room when i was out of it for a 5 hours.

On the website it says free water passes and when we got here it does not.
Than I paid for a king and they gave us a very very uncomfortable queen. Only one wood chair to sit in and the air conditioner is so old and loud.

Downtown Skid Row
We were so disappointed. The room had no towels or sheets on the bed. No soap or coffee or cups. Towels were promised but never delivered. Railings on the steps are broken. The outlets don’t have covers. Bathroom seemed partially renovated.

This place is a dump. I didn't feel safe staying here. Nothing at all like the pics. We left and didn't stay there. We booked a different hotel and ate the cost of this motel.
