Totally disgusting!!!!
I was highly disappointed with my room. It was so disgusting and filthy. Left right away. However, I got there at 5:43 PM on 10/05/2024 I went to the front desk to demand my money back because there was no way I could sleep there nor could I breathe because of the foul odors and residual smoke odors. I was told I was in the room longer than an hour so I couldn’t get my money back. I wasn’t aware of any rules that states if I was in the room for more than a hour I couldn’t get a refund. The reason I was in the room too long was because I had to find other arrangements or I was going to sleep in my car. I left at 6:46, three minutes too late. I am disputing this lost of funds. I did take videos and pictures of the room. The dirt, bugs and the disgusting towels, sheets, pillows, rags and spiderwebs with bugs.

I wasn't expecting anything great but the location was so convenient for where I needed to be the following day. Check-in was smooth. It wasn't too busy (perhaps because it was a Sunday night); I didn't hear any noise outside while in my room. My only gripe is that normally I can take the smell of smoke, but it was pretty strong, as if it wasn't aired out once in a while.

Very bad experience, the worst part is the staff are very rude and unprofessional. They did not change the bedsheets from previous guests and they said that it’s not a 5 stars hotel to expect the 5 stars services. I asked them to change the bedsheets from previous guest they refused and was very rude to me. Room was very smelling and dirty, I will never book this place again.
