| - This place was my worst nightmare. Seriously. As I was checking out on my last day of stay on a 4th of July weekend, I was thinking to myself that someone should be at the front door with a briefcase full of cash saying, "Congratulations! You made it for 3 whole days! This was all just a big joke/game show!" But unfortunately, that was not the case.
Roaches, bodily fluids, feces, dog/cat urine, broken glass, rattling and not-so-cold A/C unit, moldy smells, exposed electrical, dirty pool, broken concrete pieces in whirlpool, nasty shower, key card access failure, rude staff. This sums it up. AND, sorry to say, this was not based on my room alone. We reserved TWO rooms... and asked to be moved into two other rooms because the first two were disgusting. The second two were equally as gross. Management actually gave us the opportunity to view several rooms until we found two others that we were comfortable with. Needless to say, after viewing over twelve other rooms, they were all as disgusting as the first one. July 4th weekend and they were running at 10% capacity... most of the hotel was empty, and they stated that almost 40% of their rooms were not able to be viewed because they were 'out of commission'. Who knows what was going on in those rooms!!
Each floor had it's own disasters, and the elevators acted as if the cable was going to break... no emergency phone in the elevator, no license or inspection paperwork either. I considered taking the stairs, but the access cards worked only when they wanted to and I feared of being trapped inside a stairwell for several days due to there only being 2 staff members onsite for the whole motel. Yes, Motel, this is no longer a hotel which was once Sheraton FourPoints, Sheraton stripped their name off of it and now this place is at best a "men's bathhouse".
The only reason we didn't leave and go somewhere else is because as I said, it was 4th of July weekend, and we had our mini-dachshunds with us... there were no other hotels in the area allowing pets that had any vacancy. We spent every minute we could outside of the hotel doing other things... we were disgusted to sleep on the beds and brought in our own blankets. Everything was covered in sticky something or other, which I can only imagine was bodily fluids and soda.
The restaurant/bar that they show in their photos online are not operational. We were shocked to know that that half of the lobby was closed down. No food, no drinks, and their vending machines were all broken. Their sad excuse of a latte machine spit out powdered milk and water... not even coffee. The pool area was not only extremely dangerous with all the broken concrete everywhere, but infested with wasps. great combo- kids in pool + wasps. awesome. All of their 'complimentary' pool towels were dirty (folded, but dirty), and had what looked like urine stains all over them. Gross!!
This motel is also in a really sketchy area that is not safe to walk around at night. We kept checking our vehicle to see if it had been broken into. That entire "circle/loop" of shopping is a joke. The mall was maybe 25% occupied. Not a single department store was left, all the businesses just simply barred up. Walking into that mall felt like I was in an episode of the walking dead... just a few random people hanging out to get some A/C, with a Payless, Cinnabon, RadioShack and of course a bunch of asian and mexican shops selling a bunch of crap - stores that you would never see at an inside mall, rather a bazaar.
Luckily, right across the street was a really shady pool hall with really strong, cheap drinks -- so you can drink enough to forget about how nasty the bed you are going to be sleeping in is...
