Alura Inn

Basic 3-star place to sleep This is an okay place to sleep, nothing more. PROS: - Quiet, boring neighborhood - No gangbangers in sight - Small microwave and fridge in a small “kitchen” area CONS: - Old rooms - Bathroom design makes it tricky to get your towel without getting the floor wet or rubbing against the toilet - No carpet, not well swept (so you can feel dust when barefoot) - No pool, no fitness center, no nothing - No coffee in office, as promised on website You might not miss the switch-and-bait coffee so much, as your overall expectations should be low. It’s more evidence that management isn’t trying to make this a luxury resort and/or they’re too lazy to update the website, and nobody (customers and hotel staff) cares or notices. Not sure if the Mexican restaurant on site is a pro or a con. It is food, which is something in a bare neighborhood. But the hours are limited, and they close an hour earlier than the sign says if business is not booming. AND they don’t sell coffee to go!

It's a budget hotel but very sketchy Oh boy where to start... for the most part the room we stayed in was clean kind of I mean it's no Hilton. Tv remote was greasy, floorboards were not connected and super dirty between them. I wouldn't advise to look under the bed as it seems it has never been clean before. During our stay we had a ton of millipedes crawling around. Due to the millipedes it made me go crazy thinking there were bed begs because everytime I was itchy in the room. I will say when we got there I did check very thoroughly for bed bugs by checking the sheets, lifting the bed as well as looking at slats and crevices. I didn't see any signs that would point to bed bugs. On the note of house keeping. If you want your room tended, you will have to ask if you don't you won't get it. The pillows were used and abused you will need two. The place is VERY run down and in desperate need of a face lift. The people were probably the wildest part to the point I had to constantly look out my window to see if my catalytic converter was still on my car. After the first night we awoken by what sounded like domestic violence with someone screaming help while being pushed into a wall. On the rest of the nights we had what we believe was a pimp crew on one side of our room and thier workers on the other side it was wild. Lots of back and forth between them. ALL IN ALL if you are on a super budget and I mean super, then stay here. I would personally steer clear of the place as I will never return. The front desk staff were very nice though that's the reason it was not a 1 star review.

Hard bed with flat pillows, bit worn. Hard bed with flat pillows. Things like the toilet seat and paint coming off the shower made it feel worn. Had to go to marshals to buy a couple pillows to make it work. Not sure what else to say her to get to 200 characters.

BEYOND DISAPPOINTING Dont’t even bother trying to find a reason to stay here unless you dont mind it really being a 1.5 star hotel. Honestly I don’t even know why this place has 4 stars LOL. If I was able to get a refund I would have immediately but unfortunately I couldnt. Just my luck! America’s Best Value is better than this and thats sad considering this place is “4 stars”. The reviews are definitely fake. Really so disappointed i like hotels that have a theme and this one decided to just get like a hundred of the same picture and hang it up to make this place seem fancy. Honestly I would consider this a scam. Especially the front desk giving me a hard time about me “booking the wrong one”. The title of the room is “Double Room Deluxe” so I assumed it had two beds. Then I get there and they say only one, I then ask “So since it’s called double room does it have two rooms at least?” And the guy has the AUDACITY to say YES!!!! Get into my room and is a run down poorly constructed one bedroom. SO MAD!!!!!!! DONT STAY HERE UNLESS U WANT TO BE POORLY TREATED AND WASTE YOUR MONEY!

IN NEED OF REPAIR The room was missing a lot of amenities like toilet paper, soap and towels. Did not have anything like hand soap either which is concerning since we’re in the middle of a pandemic. The toilet was not working properly. Overall the room was in need of repairs. Parking was very limited. Would not recommend staying here.
