Staff was a little impersonal - not unfriendly, but not welcoming either. The check-in process seemed purely transactional. The hotel room itself was in disrepair - exposed carpet tacks; lamps without shades; facial tissue plugging up holes in walls; disconnected smoke alarms. The bed linens were clean, at least.

Worst reception ever. Place looked dirty even from the lobby and parking lot was unkept. Front desk clerk was so rude and unprofessional when he told me our reservation could not be honored because they were booked. He was not apologetic and walked away. I was happy not to stay there. Do not recommend this place.

This was the worst hotel experience I've had in a long time. When we first arrived, the room was dirty. There was dirt and hair all over the bedding. The bathroom had trash on the counter, and the sink had hair and what looked like soda residue in it. There was something that looked like jelly on one of the walls and water damage on the ceiling. We could deal with all of that, but after being there for a couple of hours, we started seeing bedbugs. That is something that we will not just deal with, so we immediately packed up and left. The hotel refused to give us a refund because we were there long enough that they couldn't rent the room to anyone else.

I went ahead and took this one because of the rating and the proximity to the zoo. It could be a halfway decent place if they would put a little bit of money and extra staff into it. The very questionable issue was that my smoke detector was covered with a shower cap, but I also had to go down and ask for pillowcases for my bed, I had absolutely no shower curtain, and the AC didn't work so they had a fan set up for the room. I was going to complain when I asked for the pillowcases, but the guy ahead of me was telling them that he needed a different room because of the big hole in his ceiling that was dripping water everywhere. I slept with my pew pew, and kept looking out the window to make sure that my car was okay. No issues there, thankfully

Upon arrival to the hotel I was a little early for check in due to having a wedding and thankfully they were able to get me checked in even though it was early. My air conditioner was broken, my toilet did not flush, and my door handle was broken. I was not able to have a working toilet the entire time I was there even after letting them know it would not flush.
