Even A Shelter Would Have Been Better My name is Jonneshia Doss and on 7/19/2024 I checked in this motel. I became homeless recently and needed a stable place. Upon check in the first room had roaches running from the door when we opened the door, the second was filthy with a broken sink. And this one had old food on the floor behind the lamps, mold in the refrigerator, roaches walking around, stained curtains, and the hallways were not clean either. The broken sink was in the second room offered. This place should be inspected and closed down. We still have 3 days left here.

Weak Wi-Fi / Noisey Halls My friend and I decided to try out the motel 8 since we were in the general area. The parking lot looks fairly repaved. Check in was a breeze and didnt have to wait in a long line. The lobby looked fairly clean but the stairs leading up are very dirty looking or worn out. The carpet and overall decor seems outdated. The halls seemed quite busy with people making noise and walking around at various times of the day and night. We got a double bed motel room. The room is a bit small, the TV had no overlay on channel numbers so if I say wanted to watch my favorite show at 9pm, I had to flip around guessing where the channel was instead of just entering the channel number and jumping to said channel. The channels were mostly not HD and local channels were fuzzy looking and hard to watch. The ac / heating unit in the room worked well but the switch on the unit was loose and didn't land on the specific spots properly (low fan, high fan etc) so you had to guess which spot it was on. The wood laminated flooring in our particular room was raised up and was prone to us cutting our feet if we weren't careful. The wifi is pretty weak with tons of buffering when watching any type of social media video (not watching a movie) and when the front desk was informed via calling from the noisy phone in the room, their response was they were "unusually busy" and when I asked them to perhaps rebooting the router to fix the issue I was told "I'll see what I can do". Well it didn't work nor did they reboot the system since you can tell on your mobile phone or device when a wifi connection is offline and back onliien and I saw no evidence of a reboot of the router. This wifi is by far weaker then any establishments I've been in this far this year and the front desk was a bit rude in how they handled the conversation I regards to the wifi. Breakfast is continental which is basically bagels and cereal with weak coffee. Nothing to brag home. their is a warming sign about bringing food up to your room is grounds for evicting you from your room losing your deposit. This by far was a first I've ever seen from a chain of hospitality across my US travels. We walked some of our stuff down to our vehicle the day of checkout roughly around 9:42am and we hear the housekeeping down the hall say "done??, done??" I responded huh? because I couldn't hear her and didn't understand what she murmured and she repeated it again like a canary. If you want to be bugged by housekeeping asking if you're "done??? done??" then this is the place for you. This was truly aggervating. We should not be hassled by anyone since the keys are not turned into the front desk and we were not even close to the 11am checkout time. Bottom line: You get what you pay for. If you're there to have a room to try to sleep in, then this is the place to be. The price is below average rates around the mile radius of other bigger and well known hotels that imo are better since I have reviewed them. No amenities, very weak wifi, drug interactions, archaic carpeted dirty floors and decor, no HD TV, beat up looking bath tubs and barely any cctv for protection just to name a few from the long laundry list of cons for this place. The noise from other guests is enough to knock a star rating down let alone the smell of weed, the carpet has a funk to it and people stomping down the halls and witnessing drug deals that took place in the parking lot. This wouldn't be the first spot that comes to mind for a hotel / motel. The parking lot isn't bad though & that's the real winning take. Not far on van Dyke are a vast selection of hotels both high and low priced all with pros and cons.

Filthy and Foul Smoke Odor In my top 3 worst hotels I’ve stayed. First room smelled like a trailer, from the 70’s, that was home to 25 chain smokers. My son wanted to sleep in the car. They changed our room to another that smelled slightly less nauseating, but still like a dank, stale ash tray that was left outside in the rain. If the smell wasn’t bad enough, someone generously left 2 separate pieces of gum smashed into the bed cover. We were also fortunate enough to have a toilet seat that was held together with masking tape. The shower looked like it was last cleaned in 2001, with a large gap on the bottom side filled with a Petri dish of fungus, mildew and most likely housed the owners cousin. The remote was sticky. I don’t even want to speculate what the substance was, it it turned the wash cloth black from cleaning it. Lastly the hallways, all of them, looked as though someone poured motor oil on every square inch and then sprinkled it with food crumbs, dirt, and who knows what else. Needless to say, I won’t be going back, and will not recommend.

Max The room was clean the service was on point check out was quick and easy and I would stay here everytime.

Never again Building smells of pot. Book the jucizi sweat they had planing on it being a nicer room. Filthy never cleaned. Over all disgusting. Front desk not helpfully at all. People living in building full time. Ended up with headaches all night. Never stay here
