At prime check in time there was only one person working and a long line of people. My reservation was external so it took extra time to get me into the internal system. Room smelled weird and stains all over carpets and ceiling. Shower curtain wouldn’t stay closed. Bartender at tiki bar had no idea what he was doing. I asked for a margarita and 10 minutes later with no one else in line I received a red drink that had no alcohol in it for $9. Many extended stay residents yelling at each other around parking areas.

This property is so run down and just down right gross and unsafe. Our room door looked like it had been kicked in or broken into at some point. We had No running water in the shower. There weren’t even real blankets on the bed it was more like a colored sheet made to look like there was a blanket on the bed. We had a giant stain of some sort on our floor. There was something wrong with the electrical because when we plugged in our phone chargers it was cause the lamps to act like we were in rave with the lights flashing quickly on and off. If we weren’t there for just one night and we were trying to check in at 1030 at night I would have been running for hills. I hope Travelocity removes them from their booking options. The photos shared are definitely not current either. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT STAY HERE.

Check in took a really long time. There were bags of thrash laying outdoors around the property. There were roaches in my room. My room did not look like it had been cleaned.

The room was disappointing! Stains on the carpet. No towels. After several request- 2 hours later towels. Saw a rat and several bugs. Unmoved and unkept grounds. Parking was dark and felt unsafe.

Dear Caser,Please note fees and deposit are clearly noted on the pricing breakdown. Hotel policy states a deposit is required to check in. This is the case in most hotels when traveling. The staff followed the policy and check in guidelines.
