Firstly this isn't a family-friendly motel - it has shady characters, bulletproof glass at the office, in a sketchy area (though very close to downtown), and porn on the TV - but none of that bothers me and I actually prefer to stay in edgier locations for a more authentic experience of the city I'm in so I enjoyed that....

I thought since I would only be sleeping in this room for a few hours that it was no big deal to stay in a motel that I normally would not. I woke up the next morning covered in bed bug bites. When I returned home I actually saw a bed bug crawl out of my suit case. I should... More

This whatever it was is not fit to be use as a motel. You couldn't understand the receptionist, and the so call VIP room, no way!

Go to the Holiday Inn Express, cheaper rooms and just up the street. No one speaks English you could understand. Pictures of the Motel are very... More

When we pulled up i wanted to puke, it looks like a crack house. Run for your life from this place. Within 5 min we were solicited for prostituion and cocaine by a hotel worker. I've never written a review in my life, but seriously how don't know how the health department hasn't shut this place down.

The 'receptionist' sits behind bullett proof glass.... Need I say more? He was exceptionally rude, threw me the room key and barked at me to give him 'Five bucks' with no explanation as to why or what for.. (I later read on the bullet proof glass that it was a deposit for the room key). There was supposed to be... More
