Wish I Could Give Zero Stars
I’ve stayed in plenty of budget hotels without issue, but this place was next-level bad. I lasted probably less than 40 minutes before leaving to stay elsewhere. Here’s why:
1. No blankets. One pillow per bed. I’m not sure if this hotel expects guests to bring their own bedding, but when I asked for extras, they sent exactly one additional pillow—for a family of four. Not super helpful.
2. False Advertising: The Pool That Wasn’t – They proudly list a pool on Expedia, yet it was closed indefinitely by the city. Why? No clue, but that’s not exactly reassuring.
3. A Truly Shocking Scene – I have no issue being around people from different walks of life, but this hotel seems to function more as long-term housing than a place for travelers. There were kids playing inside the dumpster, pulling out trash like it was a playground. As a former foster parent, this broke my heart.
4. No Trashcans. Which feels ironic, considering the outside dumpster seemed to be a central attraction.
When I (very politely) asked for a refund—since we had been there less than an hour, couldn’t access the pool, and weren’t even provided proper bedding—I was flatly told “no.” No apology, no attempt to make things right.
So here’s my advice: unless you enjoy shivering in bed, being misled about amenities, and witnessing a dystopian scene in the parking lot, stay literally anywhere else. Liberty Garden is just minutes away, has comparable rates, clean, and better staff.
