The worst hotel I have ever stayed in! I travel a lot and needed a hotel close by for college visits with my daughter! I was unable to find a hotel after the first night, so I stayed. I will let the photos speak for themselves; the police showed up at least twice, smoke lingered in the parking lot and at the hotel entrance, and the front desk staff were on their phones. There was no soap in the bathroom; instead, they provided us with faded rags as our towels, washcloths, and hand towels. The shower curtain was not long enough to keep water off the floor, the ironing board was broken, and the cover was as well. The iron was nasty. You have to wear something on your feet. The floors were dirty. The toilet plumbing was stuffed with tissue from what must have been a previous leak—cigarette burns on the top bed coverings. Just stay somewhere else!

Staff is friendly but not professional. 3rd floor is horrible a lot of open abandoned rooms room was just okay bathroom floors not clean. Bed wasn’t comfortable. A lot of possible homeless people live there or maybe weekly renting not sure. Stingy on towels called every day for clean towels. They do have complimentary breakfast stops at 9. If u looking for something just to get by stay there. If u looking for a pleasant stay go somewhere else. The only positive thing I could say is they are directly across from the airport BTR…..

One of the highlights of my stay was the exceptional service. The staff went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable, offering helpful recommendations and always greeting me with a smile. The attention to detail truly set this hotel apart.
