Ok. Now, I'm a 23 year old guy and I just needed a place to stay for 1 night because I had a race in the area the next morning. This place was the cheapest, and I'm not picky so I ignored the other reviews and stayed here. I thought to myself- how bad could it be? Do not make the same mistake as me.
First of all, it's not obvious from the picture, but this is not your standard hotel or motel. It appears to be a modified office building that someone tried to make into a hotel. It feels strange walking in, like you're in the wrong place. After checking in at the desk, the manager walked us to our room, down like a little hallway. The room was the smallest hotel room I have ever seen. It was about 9ft. by 9 ft. The bathroom was attached to the room and was only a few feet wide. My knees hit the door when I sat down. The bathroom also had a second door which opened up into the hallway we had just come from. It did have a lock, which I locked. There were no towels, no soap, no shampoo.
The room itself was barely wide enough for the bed. They did allow me to bring my bicycle inside after discussing it with the manager. The room had no climate control or thermostat. There was a second door in the room which led to the back alley of the area. I amde sure that was locked too. There was a small 10" television, which I did not use.
The bed was uncomfortable. When we pulled back the comforter there were yellow stains on it. Moths literally flew out of the bed as we got on. The pillows were awful. One was like a plastic hard pillow that crunched when you lay on it. The other was a piece of foam with a pillow case. If you decide to go here, bring your own pillows, towels, sheets, etc.
The entire building smelled like a mix of Indian cooking and cigarettes which wafted into the room. The room is kind of central ot the whole building with a large gap under the door, so you can smell and hear (more on that in a minute) everything going on in the rest of the building.
All of this I could have handled. I'm jsut going to sleep there after-all. Just turn out the lights, pretend I'm on a beach, and relax. I went to bed early (9:30) and fell asleep fairly quickly. This would have been good, but I was startled awake aroun 11:30. The employees were in the common area (lounge/staff area) arguing loudly. They began to shout at each other and continued to shout at each other for about an hour. It was so loud I could not drown them out with music, the pillow or shoving things in the crack in the door. I am not exaggerating about the level of their voice. It was a shout that you would use at a ballgame. They finally quieted down around 12:30 and I fell back asleep. I was awakened again with a start at 4:30. They were shouting again, this time right outside of my door. it sounded like they weren't arguing this time, but just getting started making coffee and such for the day. But they were shouting, outside of my door, at 4:30 in the morning. Soon after that one of the other employees started checking the voicemail, which i could hear clearly and loudly in the room. Yes, the walls/door are that thin. I finally got up and left around 5:30. The guy working the desk was in his pajamas and a under-shirt.
I will never return. I didn't even know there were hotels like this in the US. Please, I beg of you, pay a little extra, get a nicer hotel elsewhere.
