Hotel full of panhandlers & drug addicts

My husband & I stayed here for a few days while we were in town visiting family. At first it seemed like a regular budget hotel ($45 for a queen size bed during the week, $50-$55 on the weekends). We checked in for a 4-day stay, as soon as we opened the door to our room it reeked of weed & their was a used condom on the bottom of the nightstand...COMPLETELY NASTY!!! We went back down to the front desk & after asking for our money back several times we were told by the manager David Kincaid that they do not give refunds but he would give us a different room, we already spent over $200 so we said ok... the next room we got was no better than the first, the sheets & blanket on the bed were full of burn holes & stains, there was a syringe on the floor in the bathroom next to the toilet, needless to say while we were walking to our room we were approached 3 times by guys trying to sell us weed, crack, heroin & prostitutes. We were also approached by several people begging for money. We couldn't even sleep because of all the yelling & fighting from outside & the rooms next to us. We called the front desk & they said "security" would take care of it...which they never did. In the morning we went to the front desk to complain about the situation, we were told we had to talk to the manager David Kincaid again, but he's not available to talk & they would have him call us right away, we said ok. The manager David Kincaid NEVER CALLED US THE WHOLE TIME WE WERE THERE! This is the absolute worst hotel I have EVER been to. The maids Don't clean the rooms well, management is absolutely HORRIBLE, staff is rude, & hotel is full of drug dealers, drug addicts, prostitutes & panhandlers... even though it's a budget hotel it's NOT WORTH WASTING YOUR MONEY ON THIS HOTEL... YOU'LL REGRET IT, HOPE YOU DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE WE DID

Never again

We reserved a non smoking room. We entered and the room reeked of smoke. The shower curtain rod was barely hanging on. Breakfast was bare minimum.

NO

Worse hotel I have ever been to. I am currently in my third room at the facility. Toilet continued to run & flooded bathroom, phone in room didn't work, had to go to front desk to get assistance & front desk clerk was very rude. Maintenance man was extremely nice though. Asked when GM would be in tomorrow & was told 9 or 9:30. Way too late!!! TV is half digital, half analog with very few channels. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!!!

Awful stay

We chose this motel by chance because we were heading to Chicago and wanted a cheaper room, outside town. The outside looked quite typical and fresh but it was in fact a deception.
First of all, the cashier is absolutely rude. He doesn't give a damn about you when you check in/out.
Secondly, the bathroom was not clean at all and the room had strange stains on the floor, the air conditioning and the blankets.
Last, the breakfast was very poor.
