The first room they gave me smelled like the most unbearable ashtray. The second room was no better cigarette smoke and three cans of Lysol to hide the pungent scent. The toilet had a yellow ring around it and yes two pubic hairs on the seat. The mattress cover had all kind of un-imaginable stains. The wall and ceiling had dirt smudges. The dresser had the bottom drawer missing. The microwave over the mini fridge was a nice touch would not put anything in that warm moldy fridge. The bathroom towels felt like sand paper with an unclean smell to it. The place is so nasty and shady I would not recommend it to a homeless person. Like the other reviews I read the owner will respond to this one with improper grammar how the place is so clean and better than my house. Do your self a favor pay the extra 20 dollars to get a better place than this .

The front door didn’t close all the way, a staff member went into my room while I was out, and the bedding was uncomfortable, scratchy, and cheap. But it was right next to the bridge, everything you needed to go to (store wise) was within walking distance. And it was a decent price

When I went to the front desk to ask for a different room because ours smelled like smoke, the nice lady at the counter informed me that there was a window, and advised me to open it. When I tried to make sure I heard her right, she was nice enough to draw a window in the air with her fingers and mime opening it. It’s nice to stay at a place with such high quality service and helpful staff, equipped with timely advice when it’s needed.

The room had roaches! It was late and i had no choice but to stay. I refused to bring in my luggage because I didn't want to bring them with me. Then i was worried all night about someone breaking into my car to stael everything and i didn't get any sleep. Next time i will pay more attention to reviews!!!

Estaba bien, y el precio accesible, la limpieza estaba bien , sería bueno que la gente no fumara en las habitaciones, porque queda un olor a cigarro, y que hubieran unas plantitas afuera. Pero por lo general estuvo muy bien.

Disappointed and disgusted

The place is very dirty. Sheets had dirty spots floor was sticky. The lady was very nasty she yelled at us for asking for new sheets she said she didn’t speak English and had to wait until the morning. I felt so humiliated I had my kids with me and couldn’t let them sleep there so we left. They wouldn’t refund us, just a run down place and very unfriendly

Water bugs everywhere.

I never experienced a horrible stay at THE SHELTON until this past weekend. I encountered sooooo many water bugs everywhere. It was gross. Crawling all over my face. Never again.

I didnt expect much from the cheapest hotel in the area , but it was very disappointing. It was very pricey for a hotel that was dirty and falling apart. Burn holes in the sheets and covers, dirt on the floor and shower, paint chipping, and fridge was warm. The lady there was friendly but switched my room 3 times and had to grab different keys for them all. Such a waste of money and felt like i was going to get bed bugs from here .
