Never Again

I called ahead and said that our flight was delayed and we would be later than we thought. The person on the phone said you have until 3 am. That was okay. We get to the property, first there is no signage stating the name of the hotel, second while i understand why the doors are locked overnight, when someone comes in to check in, please don't act like we are bothering you. The person at the front desk was very dry, i wouldn't say rude, but he did act like we was bothering him. Instead of him asking me what method of payment i wanted to use, he snaps at me, "your card on file was declined." I stated to him, i dont even know what card you "have on file," but this is the one i want to use. He didnt tell us where the elevators were, didnt mention breakfast, nor check out time. Fine, however, when i asked about breakfast he points to the wall. Fast forward, we are in the beds sleep. I feel something crawling on me. Its a freaking roach. A bit later i wake up, because now i cant sleep, and i look over to my daughter's bed and there is yet another roach crawling up her bed . Ugh Breakfast was a joke, i go down and i know that they use liquid eggs, but there is a way to make them and jot have them look grey. The sausage they nuked them so bad you couldnt eat them. They had a waffle maker and although i sprayed it it waffle stuck so bad to the machine that i couldn't get it out. Asked for assistance and the woman says that its 10:02 and its time for her to close up. So many issues

Parking is convenient. Great restaurant next door that serves wonderful Brunch as well as lunch/dinner. Also a Wffle House and Dennys less than a mile away. Plenty of convenient stores. The hotel is not five star. You get what you pay for. It’s clean enough for me. I didn’t see anything wrong with the cleanliness. Old yes and shabby. The King suite is huge and the room is separated, they need to purchase new TVs but I don’t go to the hotel to watch the Telly.

Need better staff

I had a 38 min wait to get checked in. There isn’t a public restroom available in the general area only for staff. I booked a king suite was given a basic handicap room. I complained to the receptionist he didn’t want to change my room. The carpets recked which caused the room to have an odor. Breakfast wasn’t on time and closed early. 1 Elevator didn’t work the other definitely needs maintenance. The second day of my stay my key on longer worked and again the receptionists slow and rude she didn’t want to provide her name. She wasn’t aware of how the booking process worked she was having to call other people to help guide her thru the check in process.

THIS PLACE IS TRASH

False advertising, the hotel is dirty, smells like pure bleach and cigarettes all around the rooms. Everything including all the counters were dirty in my room. Curtains and blinds were broken into pieces, toilet and bed had stains on them. This was so bad I checked out within 2 hours of being there
