Magnuson Grand Desoto

Truly terrifying and filthy. I've never left a review before and am totally fine in cheap hotels/motels but this place just was so awful. Incredibly filthy, dusty, stained, dirty, smelly, garbage in bags in the hall, what looked a lot like bloodstains in the hall, one sheet and no blankets, flickering lights, broken doors, empty pool with green slime in it, oof, I just felt totally unsafe and unclean here, stayed because I got in so late and couldn't find another place after midnight. The guy at the front desk asked for $100 cash deposit and when I went to get it back in the morning he made me wait while he went and checked my room. Whaaat happens here that they do that??? As a woman alone or just anyone, this place really was the worst.

AVOID! Upon entering the hotel the smell met us in the lobby. The photos on their website DO NOT match the current conditions of the hotel. Manager was very rude and tried charging us an addt’l $100!!

This place has BED BUGS!! Stay far away from this place as possible it’s GROSS and the entire building including the rooms smells like mold/mildew! I also received sheets with blood stains in which the front desk hassled me exchanging claiming it wasn’t blood… Altogether horrible experience. Cheap price but one of the nastiest hotels I’ve stayed in a while.

This hotel is seriously sad. It’s right out of the 70’s. The outside looks like an old run down building. Then you come in and the lobby has run down furniture that I wouldn’t dare sit on. After you check in we come around to what is a wide open area that has lights in the center that don’t work. A empty swimming pool that who know when had water in it and a children’s play gym that you can’t get to along with a room that looks like it was workout equipment. It’s all taped off with yellow tape. Then you come around to the elevator oh and I forgot the hotel is hot with no air conditioning. Everything is outdated. In the bathroom they put a rectangle of another piece of wallpaper up that doesn’t match what is already up. The curtains are dirty and the valance is dusty. There isn’t a real comforter on the bed it’s some thin piece of material. The chair is dirty and dingy. I wouldn’t sit on it even with clothes on. I did sit on the desk chair as it looked clean. I will give the bed was comfortable. There was only one plug on the lamp to use and that was it for plugs in the room. The only other plug is in the bathroom which is inconvenient when there are two adults in a room that need to plug up and charge phones. Oh and it took us forever to get the door to open. We had to stick the key cards in the door multiple times to even get the light to turn green. I don’t recommend this hotel to anyone.
