This place is definitely not worth th $50. We had to get a different room due to it being dirty and dead bugs. The new room was a notch higher but the toilet was dirty. We had to clean it before use. The front desk lady said their house keeper was sick and in the hospital. Never again would I stay here!!!

Roach Motel
This is the worst motel I have every stayed in. It is the definition of a roach motel. Bugs crawling everywhere when you turn on the lights. I should have taken pictures. Very low standard place.
Linen and bed covers did look clean and old.

Remove this hotel from your site !
The fact that hotels.com associates with this hotel makes me leery to book through them again. This “motel” is more of a “book by the hour “ facility. It’s filthy,not maintained, burn holes in bedding, the linen weren’t changed and it smelled atrocious. The door didn’t even lock ! A homeless shelter would be a better facility than this, and I’m not exaggerating.

Travelers beware
Absolutely disappointed. Came to town for the Notre dame game and was left with a huge shocker. The windows to the rooms were mostly broken. I think only 3-4 were in good shape. As soon as you step in the room all you can smell is someone’s urine. No towels but hey the last guest left a t shirt for you. Two queen beds instead of the king bed, not a deal breaker but the fact they weren’t made and pillows everywhere and one set of sheets is. I did not stay one minute in the hotel. Checked out immediately to see a sign on the window that absolutely no refunds. So I don’t see them fixing the issue anytime soon.

Stay open
We made a last-minute booking due to travel plans and when we arrived after midnight due to a late football game, the office was closed and there was no way to check in to get a key and get my room that I had paid for.

Turn around. Go somewhere else. Run.
Terrible smell. Bugs. Stains. Burns. Felt like a construction zone of a condemned property.
They should have paid me to stay there. And, if so, they couldn’t have paid me enough.

Expedia booking was not registered with the hotel. Once a room was available, it was dirty disgusting, and was unable to stay in that room due to the conditions.

I can’t believe Expedia even associates with This deplorable, filthy, run down place. The stench in the rooms and burn holes in the unchanged bedding explains why check in was at 9am. My guess is the rooms are usually rented for an hour at a time. Homeless shelters have better conditions.

Fraudulent and misrepresentation of services
I never stayed at the hotel. I attempted to cancel kess than an hour throughout the day of check in. Even after calling the hotel ans speaking to several hotel.com customer service reps I had no success. Hotel.com continued to state they couldn't help because they were having trouble reaching the property. After many attempts if reaching out to the property, the phone number given was incorrect, I finally got in touch with an employee. The property stated no one from hotel.com reached out to them and they unsure how to reimburse me. No one ever contacted me and my financial institution told me to dispute the transaction.
