Rent by the hour vibes

This hotel is... not for sleeping, shall we say. The clerk didn't know how to check someone in with a reservation. In the time it took her to try to look me up, I decided not to stay and absolutely would not reserve again and would not have reserved if I had known. Hotels.com - you should remove this from your list of available properties.

Stay far away

It was the most disgusting hotel I have ever seen. My room had dry blood on the walls. I literally had to scrub my shower with sand paper before I could let my daughter shower. The television had no buttons and I had to hold the remote directly to the tv before I could change the channel. And then the tv kept turning off. I had to hit the wall in the bathroom for the light to com on and there was only one outlet in the room for us to charge our phones
