You get what you pay for

The stay was okay for the price. The beds were comfortable. However, the carpet is very old, dirty and it smells. They need to also do a better job at cleaning the restroom. It looked like the floor was not mopped and some of the baseboards were dirty.

For the price of $150 a night this establishment is very horrible. Front desk receptionist kitchen staff were very friendly. However, the room not only smell awful cigarettes, there cockroaches, and the bed sheets and pillow cases were not replaced with new ones. There were stains, hairs and possible bed bugs due to bite marks I sustained during my stay. I had to despose my clothes that used during my stay due to this incident. Sorry not recommending this place at all for the price. Very disappointed!

"this and that or lose your deposit"

Management has this thing about not returning deposits... Things get more complex if you're using a 3rd party I.e. hotels.com and in respect to deposits. We stayed here under my wife's name around 5 yrs ago and we're still waiting for that deposit. They also use the deposit as leverage to get one to agree to certain things for example: be in the office by 420pm or "lose your deposit" - don't let your dog bark or you will lose your deposit... Etc etc... It gets old...

Did not enjoy my stay

First the pictures on here need to be updated. That place does not look anything like the pictures. The area was dirty. The room was dirty. I'm pretty sure the young women there were engaging inappropriate activities. The clerk was rude to my child when she requested new towels.
