Tv didn't work. Had call to replace. No shower condiments. Only 2 towels for 3 people. Had clean bath tub before use & wait for hot water between showers. Front desk lady is not welcoming or make process any type of easier - I did all research. Work and she just take pymnts. Couldn't even telle if 1 bed, 2 beds, etc. But when I said well shouldn't it b my selection since multiple options listed, she said wouldn't have but 1 selection and she doesn't know what we select online, so I had go back and look... To end up with another type room (which is fine). No personality

We are sorry you had a bad experience. We will do our best to address the issues you noted. When you came to check into the room, you had just made the reservation, and the process for the reservation to get to our system usually takes a few minutes, which is why I did not have any of the information at that time. I also asked if you preferred smoking or non-smoking, to which you responded "smoking if you have it". Since your reservation came to us for non-smoking, I changed it to a smoking room and let you know. If that was not your intent, my apologies, I must have misunderstood.

Our dog got killed because of hotel negligence
This hotel was advertised as pet friendly , however my girlfriend barely moved the bed and the headboard which was attached to the wall fell and killed our dog
Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023
Response from Miss C on Feb 1, 2024
We are very sorry for your loss, but the headboard (which is not in any way connected to the bed frame) falling is a physical impossibility, without someone FIRST LIFTING the headboard and then dropping it. We use the french cleat system, one of the strongest mounting systems in all of carpentry, to attach our headboards to the wall. Upon close inspection we found the wall cleat as well as the object cleat, which are made of solid wood slats, intact and still solidly fastened. Again, we are very sorry, and we do not know what actually happened, but there is no negligence on our part, and this headboard did not just fall.

This is on a main strip with lots of traffic and even loud train traffic. It attracts some pretty shady looking activity in the parking lot and loud people in neighboring rooms. Walls are paper thin. If you can handle all that the stay is a fantastic value.

I was in room 211, when I arrived at 22:00 the guy in room 210 was sitting outside of the room in a chair smoking and listening to music, I said hello and he just glared at me as if I didn’t belong there. The room was painted in some wild bright colors. The towels and small and thin. The soap could be held in the palm of your hand because it was so small. The furniture was broken and old. The worst part was the shady people walking around in the middle of the night, it looks to me as the hotel houses low income people. I did not feel safe. Next time I will pay more and get a better place.

My stay was okay because I was traveling for a family funeral... The other guest was quiet my whole stay, didn't have to worry about anyone messing with cars or bothering you. The only thing I didn't care for the air conditioner, it wouldn't let us out a set temperature to our liking and it was basically stuck on 70/60 so through the night it would get so hot we couldn't sleep at times, but overall the stay itself was ok.

ALERT! DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL.
Total experience staying at the NITES INN was RUDE owners. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. The onwer need to learn how to speak proper to guest. The room was damaged and in need of repair. The door lock is stuck and unable to lock the door when you leave. ALERT!! STAY AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

Reserved room for myself and a couple friends front desk attendant was really rude, and nasty her attitude was very unprofessional and distasteful. It was almost like she was discriminating. She wouldn't allow us to check in stating "she knows our type" and we were being "dishonest" resulting in us riding around for hours trying to find a room ending up sleeping in our car until the next day because there weren't any available. This was the worst experience ever

We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced at our establishment. We will try to do better next time. Just to make sure there will be no misunderstandings in the future, we would like to make it very clear that a VALID picture ID/Driver License IS required for checking into a room, as specified on the site where the room was booked. It also specifies that a room damage deposit of 50.00 will be charged at check in, which seemed to be the cause of rudeness and nasty attitudes, not to mention some very choice and distasteful words, being directed at our staff and establishment in a volume high enough to be overheard AND understood by parties not in the direct vicinity of the check in location. The statements claimed to have been made are untrue. We will refrain from repeating some of the choice language coming in our direction. Again, our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience you experienced.

Property is not appealing but didnt look too bad. My check in was pleasant (the lady who checked me in was nice, smiles, and seemed friendly) I extended my stay for two more nights. It was a different lady who checked me in this time she looked angry and annoyed. Houskeeping: I had the door tag outside stating I wanted my room cleaned. We were still in the room when housekeeping came and asked for her to come back. We lefted the room an hour and a half later (around 1pm). When we returned to the room we found that the room had not been cleaned. I went down to the front desk and asked for new towels and explained that the Housekeeper did not clean our room. I was told that their Housekeeper do NOT go back to rooms. Lol. Idk. Being that I was a Housekeeper for more than 5 years I have always returned to a guest room when asked to come back later or cleaned an occupied room when they took their "do not disturb" signs off their door.

We regret you had such a negative experience at our property, and will be addressing your concerns.

We regret the presence of motorcycles/cyclists made you feel unsafe.

Response from Chris on Mar 24, 2022
We are very sorry you had such a negative experience on our property, and we can assure you that the front desk staff will be reprimanded appropriately. It was however brought to our attention that there were 2 undeclared pets in your room, one of which was a cat, which was observed by three staff members and 2 guests enjoying the view from your room's window. You were, Sir, asked at check in if you had any pets to declare by the manager, to which you responded negatively. If that was a misunderstanding, we apologize and would like to make it right, if you care to explain. We were also unable to find anything in our records that would show that you were at one time switched to a different room, other than the one you checked into initially. We also checked our records for housekeeping (the personnel responsible for cleaning rooms) and found your room marked "DND", which means that your "Do not Disturb" sign was on the door handle each time they came, in which case the staff is instructed NOT to disturb the guest, meaning not to even knock on the door. I can see how that could make someone think that we have no cleaning service. Again, our apologies for this misunderstanding.

The staff were not very friendly, they seemed to not care. I understand the first night, my son and I arrived at around 4AM. I figured they were just tired and that’s why they weren’t very talkative and things. But then the next day in the afternoon the man I spoke to also had the same energy. The room was decent (cleaning wise) however the towels were not cleaned and the comforter smelled like smoke (it was a non smoking room) the phone didn’t work either. Around the property I didn’t feel was a good environment. When we first got there, a man was cat calling and smoking in his doorway making uncomfortable comments. I didn’t feel safe even letting my 14 year old walk to the vehicle.
