“HORRIBLE!!! DO NOT STAY!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed August 30, 2012

Elevators down 95% of time, Room Stink, A/C not working, Restrooms are ugle and dirty. I'd rather spend the night in Jail! When calling owner you get voicemail that says "The Crickect customer you are trying to reach is not available" Receptionist are young girls that are just on their cell phones and eating.. not worried about your concerns, Pool is small and dirty. Pictures on website are incorrect.

“Renovations, elevators down.......no bottled water in machines”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed July 20, 2012

The hotel apparently was under renovations, we were on the 3rd floor and some of the rooms didn't have their room numbers on the doors or walls. The area in the hallway there was a soda machine but where maybe there should have been an ice machine or something there was an empty space and lines hanging out. The second elevator was not working but on our floor only 2 pieces of plywood were standing in front of the elevator but that would not have kept anyone out not even a young child because it was not stapled or nailed together you could move them out of the way if you wanted and the door was open and hanging to the side. Then during the week the one elevator would only work until 4pm because the maintenance crew was not there so it needed to be shut down. So anyone staying up above the 1st floor had to walk up all the flights. Friday after walking around the near shops to the hotel we got back to the hotel and needed water but the machine would not dispense any and the night clerk said none of their machines had any water so we had to walk across the street which ended up taking our money and not dispensing any water. Also another thing that we had in our room was the bathtub. The middle of the bathtub was worn away and weak. We were afraid of stepping in that spot because it felt like you would fall to the next floor. We wanted a partial refund or something since it was not such a great weekend.Nothing so far from mgr or from expedia.......

Room Tip: Just don't stay here

“My experience.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 1, 2012 via mobile

Last minute vacation. Needed somewhere to stay ASAP. Some places you have to be 21 years old in order to check in, this place accepts 18 year olds. Elevators not working, have to take the stairs I'm on the 4th floor. The shower pressure SUCKS!! No coffee maker, TV is old, and if you're thinking about having, "sexy time" the bed squeks really loud.
