2/10 Poor

Didn’t even stay there and the attendant was rude.
Anthony, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I would give them negative stars if that were an option, and recommend that Expedia make that an option. There were bed bugs and a dirty rooms when my guys arrived, and when we they went to front desk they were not offered another room or refund which either would have been great, but again they are not worth the risk or money, stay away.
Margarito, 5-night trip

2/10 Poor

The parking lot was difficult to get into but the main problem was my reservation was canceled when I arrived to check in due to a sewer leak.
Sheila, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The staff there was rude AF. I booked a non refundable room and when I got there to check they refused service for no reason and threatened to call police if i didn’t leave the property so I got charged anyway. Worst ever

Very comforting and convient..very pricey for this area.
Lonnie, 7-night trip

2/10 Poor

When I arrived to check into my room, I was told that they were unable to check anybody in because of a sewage condition. I was not alerted of this before my arrival. I had to scramble at the last minute and find another place to stay.

Lobby was closed at 10pm we had to booked another hotel. Don’t book there.
Jesus, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Couldn’t even check in, even though I called two days ago to confirm my reservation. Got there at 1:00pm, doors were locked. Went back at 2:30 and was told there were no rooms left despite having a reservation.

Awful service

This was awful, I couldn’t even get checked in. I called the number listed with no answer.
Jacob, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

No room. That’s all
Brad, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

First, it’s not a hotel and barely can be labeled as a motel. You’ve seen similar looking places on episodes of Cops, The First 48. $50 CASH deposit required at check in. She send us to the 7-11 but someone had stole their ATM. Candy bar wrappers in room and blood in the bathroom. Beds were sitting on what looked like church fellowship tables without the legs. We went to the concert, skipped the alcohol and made the 1.5 drive home. Motel was $85 and parking would have been $65 so we needed almost even.
Jeremy, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Bad hotel

Did not get to stay, system issue and overbook rooms
Michael, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Bad experience

When I got there, they told me.I did not have any reservation even though I had my confirmation.
Roy, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Impossible to find no overnight staff

Directions to the property were unclear, the property was not visible from the interstate and after driving around in circles for well over an hour we were greeted by a locked door and a NO VACANCIES sign with a phone number that went unanswered. I finally got a room nextdoor at the Roadway Inn, with an overnight staff, a very comfortable room and plenty of parking. To add insult to injury they charged me for the room at the OYO even though we were unable to stay there.
Karen, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I booked and paid months ago. Arrived today 2 hours before an event (3 pm) and without warning they cancelled my booking. I am having to sleep in my car because there is nothing else avaliable and it reached nearly 100⁰. After an hour of talking woth Expedia I was told Im sorry and you have $25 towards your next booking. As if Id ever risk something like this again woth Expedia or OYO. Thank god my child is not with me.

Avoid this hotel!

Several of us could not check in. There was no one there. We called for help and got none. I then read some reviews where others had to sleep in their call. Fortunately, I found an alternative hotel
