nowhere did they state on-site about a $100 deposit if under 25; i wouldn’t have known at all till check in had i not called and asked. what they don’t share is that they won’t refund your deposit! was supposed to be refunded “shortly after checkout,” but days later and they won’t pick up the phone any time of day—the one time i got someone on the phone, they stated they couldn’t refund me because the hotel “didn’t have any available funds to do so.” absolute scam. not cleanly, either.

Washer didn’t work , rooms very small and not very clean , sink kept getting backed up and wouldn’t drain. If you have a small vehicle you have to park in the sketchy underground parking lot. WiFi didn’t work

This place is disgusting. Do not stay here. It is dirty, scary, and dangerous. The sheets were stained and nasty. Electric wiring was showing at an outlet. Plumbing was on backwards and was a scald hazard. I wouldn’t touch the microwave because something was dripping down the outside. The lock was on backwards. Bugs! Wires hanging low overhead into pool area. Homeless people sitting all around outside of building.

I didn’t stay, I payed and I’m still waiting to see if I get my refund. I was there with my wife and 3 month old. Place is a total dump, I don’t understand how they’re even on Expedia.
