The room was not clean, it had a bad odor I had to buy a lysol and put all over the room, there were insects in the bathroom, no trashcan in the room or the bathroom, the furniture was damaged and the restroom wall like they made some repairs and they look unfinished, very bad experience… there were also people like living in the room nextdoor and we could smell cigar odor all night…and a lot of noise.

Completely outdated, I felt like I was catfished. The room looked nothing like the pictures shown here. The shower had no shower handle, no curtain when we used the shower the bathroom looked more like a wet room bc water was everywhere. The parking smells like urine. I was very disappointed

We arrived right at check in time; were asked to wait 45 minutes for our room. Finally the former “guest” vacated with several large totes and bins and a police escort. THEN the carpet shampoo guy went in THEN cleaning staff. The room was rundown, very stinky and not that clean. The beds were uncomfortable and felt and smelled damp. The shower is a safety hazard—the bathtub floor literally moves under your feet causing immediate dizziness. Finally, the outside/landscaping was also rundown—there was a used syringe right outside our door.

This hotel is very outdated, needs some major upgrades, the room was clean for the most part, staff was nice when checking in. But did not feel safe as there was odd looking people around the hotel just hanging around, someone was also playing music in one of the rooms next to us all night, people talking right outside our room at night. We almost left to go stay somewhere else where we’d feel safer. Overall, please pay a little bit more and stay somewhere else!
