Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities

The floor was very dirty and sticky to the feet. There was rather strange activity at the location, loud and noisy at night from activities in other rooms through the night. It appeared that some sort of prostitution was taking place, and on Saturday night was the worst, girls back and forth with loud heel shoes as they walked to rooms somewhere. The room was extremely humid and uncomfortable; upon inspection, the AC unit was full of mold and dirt. It felt uncomfortable going to and leaving the car as there seemed to be people in cars just watching you/ or waiting for something. At one point, the police had someone removed from the lot. but did not appear to have a permanent effect later in the days there. Overall I would never stay there. Attempts to clean the place seem there, such as freshly painted building etc. but the rest is not there just yet. this is a 60$ a night type place.

Stay away for your safety! I don’t know what they use to clean the rooms, but my room had a very sharp chemical smell, and I got a headache and couldn’t even breathe well! There is no fresh air inside the room and no air conditioner! When I requested to change my room, they said they use the same chemicals for all rooms. I also don’t know what was inside the pillows that made them so hard and uncomfortable! They were so small, and it made my night even worse to stay awake and get neck pain! There is no breakfast; it is a scam! They only have coffee! Be careful if you want to book a place with breakfast included; this is not the place to stay!

The first room we got had a dirty sink and the room smelled like cigarettes. We then moved to a different room and that one had dirty water left around the toilet. The overall state of both rooms did not feel or look clean.

This is misleading, HJ’s may have some hotels but this one is a motel and misleads someone to think they are booking a room at a mid range property. Not. The elevator only operates in the day, the room spelled of pot, no carpet, the Uber driver divulged the ladies of the night work here and minimal amenities. Wouldn’t have stayed if it wasn’t midnight when I arrived.

Deceitful when you go by the name and backed up by AAA. Place is disgustingly dirty. These people are running a brothel I had a 7 day reservation left after 2 days . Also they did not honored the price given by Hotels.com
