“Keep going regardless of how tired you are.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 November 2012

This place is a dump. I never leave reviews, but this one is worth leaving. I couldn't even get a partial refund. Once they take your money they won't give it back. If you do stay here look at your room before paying.

Dear Guest, We are unaware of your situation as your stay occured during the month of August when this hotel was a Travelodge and the Guest Services manager was not the same. The ownership has converted this hotel to a Budget Host Inn and there have been changes in management. Hence we do apologize that we are unable to verify... More

“Good stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 September 2012

While the hotel is very basic it is clean and the people were very nice. Only complaint was the room was very stuffy and had a musky smell. Left the door open for a few minutes and it helped.

“Pass this one up!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 September 2012

This is one place I won't return to, We got in late and it was not very clean. The sheets did not/would not even stay on the bed, which was hard and extremely uncomfortable. I don't think the bath vent fan actually vented, it just made noise. It was difficult to connect to the WiFi. The free "Bear Bites "... More

“Can't rate, didn't stay.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 September 2012

I made a reservation to stay at this hotel at the end of June/beginning of July with the understanding that there were "no restrictions" regarding change or cancellation. Well to my surprise, this was NOT the case. When the time came and people in my group began cancelling and changing travel plans, I called the hotel to make changes accordingly.... More

Cancellations were accepted 72 hours in advance. We regret that you had cancel the rooms and we lost an opportunity to extend our hospitality, which is always our intent.

“SEVERLY overpriced! Would never recommend.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 September 2012 via mobile

$126 per night!! I should not have paid half that much. The bathroom was clean, but that was the only plus. Property poorly maintained, beds (full) very small, uncomfortable, pillows none the same, lousy foam pillows - nasty stains on leaks in popcorn finish ceiling (attemp made to paint over). Was a true disappointment - but no other options.. Would... More

“Rate hikes on game day”

I want everyone to know this hotel should be your last resort. In fact I might say you may be safer sleeping in your car on the side of the highway in the middle of the Bronx. We never got to sleep because all the noise outside. When we woke up we found several cars vandalized and the hotel was... More

We do apologize for the actions of some of our guests which made this situation inconvenient for our other guests.

“Mice and mice droppings. No management concern.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2012 via mobile

We checked in our room this evening to find mice droppings in both beds. Upon further investigation we saw numerous mice thoughout the room. Management offered to find another room, which due to the football game in town we thought was our only option. Upon further reflection we asked for our money to be refunded as we were uncomfortable with... More

We had a lot of issues with this guest and had to call law and security to facilitate their departure from the property. The guest was in the lobby and verbally abused the staff and made other guests nervous and apprehensive.

OK, this property is past its prime! Enough said. It is clean, comfortable and safe. It is old? Yes, but clean it is and if you expect and get a discounted rate you will be very pleased.

This motel is so run down, I think it's well past the renovation stage. I'm thinking a bulldozer is the only solution to all of their problems. AC didn't work...replacement unit didn't work either.

We had no unpleasant surprises during our one night stay. Our group had two rooms, and we had no complaints. It is clear that the motel is run down, so the obvious wear of the bathroom tile, sink, and TV did not bother me. If you must have the newest amenities, this is not the place for you. Everything was... More
