Police and ICE at location on arrival. Went in to see if it was ok inside. Nope Scary location. Looked like an abandoned hotel with squatters. Did not stay. Did not even try to cancel reservation just got out of there.

The building needs to be condemned! Shower and sink completely filthy. Holes all in the walls of the room. No tv, the ac unit didnt work only blew out hot air!! The photos on the expedia website is completely false!! Trash everywhere including outside. Sure there was bed bugs also but was afraid to touch the bed! Walked in saw condition of room and turned around and walked right back out! Went to front desk and they said that was only room available..probably cuz the other rooms were worse than that one!! Asking for a refund from Expedia. But have not heard any news about my request!!! DO NOT STAY HERE AT THIS HOTEL! WOULDN'T EVEN HAVE THE DEVIL HIMSELF STAY IN THIS PLACE!

When I arrived at the listed address I found a large overgrown, fenced-off area where I can only assume this hotel once was. There was a building somewhat nearby that looked sort of like the hotel in the pictures, but it also looked severely abandoned. I tried to contact the property to see if they were still open at the location and I received no response. Don't waste your money unless you're looking for ghosts.

Staff was neglecting the ongoing problems with rooms and tenants. Building is falling apart, busted windows in the rooms and the uncleanliness is canny.

This hotel does not deserve a single star. Honestly, it should not even exist. Calling this place a “hotel” is an insult to hotels. It feels more like a shelter for homeless people than a place meant for travelers. The reality has nothing in common with the photos online — those pictures must be at least 20 years old. The ceilings are leaking. The building is in terrible condition and feels unsafe. Police were coming to the property almost every evening. There are drug dealers and random suspicious people walking around at all hours. The room conditions are shocking: • No door in the bathroom • No shower curtain • No toilet paper • No towels • No lamp • No basic amenities at all The walls are completely damaged and dirty. There is zero sanitation. The bed is almost falling apart. And the worst part — cockroaches and bed bugs everywhere. In the bed, on the bed, crawling over your belongings. It’s absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. I genuinely do not understand how this place is still operating. It should be shut down and demolished. Staying here is a nightmare and a health risk. Avoid at all costs.

This property was shutdown by the Memphis police back in 2024. Reopened with sane issues. Gang activity, staff incompetent. Resistants clean rooms. Dont stay here if you value your life. Please liok up this hotel on Google
