Nobody should stay here period. The place looks like it’s a halfway house for the homeless. The bed was disgusting and we were forced to go buy new bedding just to sleep on the bed. We threw it away when we checked out. Do not stay here!

I got a non smoking room that reeked of tobacco smoke. I had to ask one of the nice cleaning ladies to spray the room with a deodorizer. The property was in a very scetchy area. I dont write reviews but I’ll never go back

The woman at the front desk was very understanding and helpful, however the property is run down and quite frankly gross. There was a blood smear on the wall and hairs and disturbing stains all over the beds, save your money and book somewhere else
