Hmmm...where to start 🤔🤔 this should be called the WORST MOTEL 😕 FIRST- this establishment is located across the street from Parkway Gardens which are project based housing buildings and they have 24/7 security so you might feel a bit safe🙃 SECOND- the amenities SUCKKKKK. There aren't any microwaves here(also none in the office), there aren't any mini fridges in the room and there's no Wi-Fi...like none at all, the cold water doesn't get cold and they don't have an ice machine if you want colder beverages, and lastly no vending machines. There are some places within walking distance but be careful when you go out because the community isn't the safest 😕 Also if you're on the first floor be prepared to deal with leaking ceiling in the bathroom. Went to two different rooms and they ceiling was leaking while I used the toilet. Smh. Also you have the critters...roaches and bedbugs but more so roaches who are out in the daytime and nighttime. Haven't seen any mice but they're probably there lurking. Room service sucks because the housekeepers don't speak any English and they barely have clean towels and the ones they do have still looks dirty. Overall I would never stay here again. For 100 a night smh it ain't worth it at all. You'll be better off going to imperial on 103 and Michigan...even tho it's further they have better amenities and...

Update april 7 (I will be filing a chargeback if I don't hear back soon)

Update with the same information from the 3 emails ive sent.

The ceiling light didnt work and almost fell on me last night I'm lucky I didn't roll under it asleep. The tv didn't work payback error for everything i tried watching no matter what channel or app, no free wifi so i couldnt cast from my phone to the tv at least and when i connected my hotspot it didnt connect either. My partner went out to ask front desk for assistance and got no help. The shower has low water pressure and barely trickled out, you had to jiggle and play with the handle and you could only choose scalding or freezing because the handle seems loose or falling off. If theres a way to get a partial refund im looking into it, chose to leave at 7 am rather than deal with it. The towels also smelled funny. I at least fixed your tv after doing some more research online, since I couldn't sleep due to noise disturbances. Construction people seemed to be working at 4 in the morning. Not the worst stay I've ever had in any motel, but definitely not worth the money I paid for. There was only 1 towel in the room for two guests as well, im glad i asked for extra before heading to the room. Not autism friendly. Also charged differently than the reciept i was...
