This hotel has went downhill!

The first room we checked into was infested with roaches. The second room they moved us to had been smoked in. The third had full trash cans and a bloody sanitary napkin in the floor. The fourth had one bed (for four people. Disgusting.

The mattress on the bed in the room needs to be replaced. When someone lays on it, you roll into the middle. And the pillows were like fluffy cotton, with no substance. A fellow from Tennessee was assigned to a room on the second floor. The noise from his truck motor made our room vibrate, idling right outside our door at 10:00 PM for 15 minutes, and a railroad track just below the property became active with a train whistle beginning at 5:00 AM and the noise of the train cars rumbling through until about 7:00 AM.

Room was poorly maintained. Dirt in a/c vents, blowing out. Walls weren’t painted properly with scratches, etc everywhere. Bed frame was worn out and made terrible noises whenever you moved. Would not recommend to anyone. We had not choice but to stick it out and get on our way. For a Choice Hotel, the check in person just laughed when we check in, for being a member!!
