tripadvisorFirst off, I want to compliment Melissa who worked Saturday afternoon, she was wonderful. If you go make sure you do not allow them to give you room 136. There is an active German cockroach infestation. Not only did I kill several grown roaches, I found multiple in the nymph stage on the ACTUAL BED. After killing the 1st scurrying across the floor I went to the front desk and asked for and was almost instantly given a can of roach spray. It's almost as if, well you get the drift (not the poison spray drift). I was excited!! My exterminator internship had begun!!! I mentioned it again to the night clerk and she just kinda smiled. Needless to say my total time sleeping=0 minutes. Also as you can see there's a just random roach superhighway in one of the baseboards by the cleanout. Even better than the public health concerns was Paul the manager or owner or something. They claim to be affiliated with Budgetel, but we'll see if the people in Atlanta at corporate are as flippant as him or not. Definitely some MCL violated all I can do is tell the right authorities ♂️. Believe me I understand why motels like this have to exist but there are far better options at a cheaper price do you research unless your in to cockroaches then by all means
MoreI have stayed here several different occasions,this particular Sunday I saw a huge roach running in my room,when I asked for a refund I was told I had been in the room for more than 15 minutes and was offered bugspray!I will never stay within this company again,and find the black woman whom worked the desk to be very rude and ob actions. This same woman called me a month ago as I returned to my room(alone) ,and told me Noone is allowed and when I told her I was allowed and tried to ask what she was talking about she hung up on me. Amanda has been a blessing and if it wasn't for her I wouldn't have returned after that incident, but add the bugs and nope never again. It would be appreciated if I could get a refund without taking any further actions,I have a picture of the roach if you doubt what I'm telling you.
MoreSuper clean motel. Very friendly staff. I felt like family while staying here. Amazing weekly prices and three day special. Bed are very comfortable as well. Also Jacuzzi rooms are so nice . Would recommend to anyone. Great location as well. Plus outside grilling area
MoreSo disgusting the realms and the roach activity at the front desk has a case of roach spray for people to use upon request who does that?? In one visit I seen a dozen drug deals go down cops in and out, 90% of the hotel is long-term stay for the homeless and they make them work on the property to live for free, let alone a lot of black market business is done silently in the rooms including infectious tattooing, this place should be shut down and doors closed please heed warning... Discuss is unimaginable and a huge health concern for anybody who comes in contact with the place.
MoreThought saving money would be ok. Room smelled of smoke and you have to pay extra if you want to be able to use the room phone. Don't forget to pack your iron if you want pressed clothing because they don't have any irons at all. Worst hotel experience i have ever had. Wifi never worked either.Staff was nice but unfortunately I wont ever vo back here again.
