This hotel was closed for prostitution. New people bought it and opened it as the Real Value Inn in May 09. It appears the only renovations being made are in the lobby which explains why it's $34 a night. No more by the hour rentals?? It is in a terrible neighborhood with weird people lurking around. Gentlemens Club is located... more

Not to mention, the toilet was not working properly. I will never stay here again and was disappointed that Priceline and... more

The hotel is absolutely unclean and unsafe. Upon checking in, friends and I discovered that the bathroom was filthy, mold was growing around the walls in the bedroom, and the sheets, as well as the pillowcases were dirty. We asked for another room, and found that one to be in worse condition, and the toilet did not work, nor did... more

We were shocked when we checked in to see a sign saying, they accepted no responsibility for anything that happened to any cars that we parked in their parking lot. It was at our own risk. We got to our room and it was horrible, walls, room was dirty and smelled, literally, the bathroom was dirty. Very unsanitary conditions. There... more

First I want to say, the owners were very nice. But, that is the only good thing I can say. It is on a road full of strip clubs, it was dirty and falling apart. AND, the next morning when we were checking out it was robbed and the robber walked away. more
