Stay was ok

The room was clean, but the room was extremely hot when we got in it which led to a smell. There was constant sirens from police. It didn’t feel like the safest surroundings. Overall the room was nice but spilled water and when I cleaned it up, the towel was black so they need to mop the floors.

Checking in was smooth and easy the parking for $5.00 was unexpected. The hotel was fine for a one night state for a concert at a cheap rate. But needs some updating bathroom was a bit small, bedding and towels where some what stained/ discolored. Elevator I had to hold my breath due to it pausing a few times thinking it was going to stop and not be able to get out. Free breakfast was wall mart cheap pastries with a weird pan cake maker. $100 a night was way to much for this property. Again in a pinch for a a concert and not caring about the say its a good spot.

Bedding was dirty and had human hair on the blanket. Pubic hair was in the shower and some bugs crawling in the tub. We requested fresh bedding but wasn’t able to provide because it was already locked up. The blanket was filthy. The exterior door had light coming through from the door knob to the floor. I’m surprised Expedia had this hotel as a choice.
Dirty spot on the blanket the size of a hamburger.
Small brown spot in numerous places
Human hair in many places on the blanket.
