My first interaction with the management of this location was to ask about a late check-in as we were landing at 1am. We were forced to book a whole other night for a few hours. Fine. Then, the day before our check-in, I had to reach out to the property to find out what was going on because I haven't heard from them, nothing had been communicated or anything. The room booked was a queen room and was NOT how it was pictured and advertised. It felt like a cell block with NO windows, a small dingy bathroom and not a single surface to place any personal belongings. The dehumidifier was emptied by myself about six times during the stay and knob to the shower was found under the sink, after the fact. The bed felt like stacked blankets, though I know it wasn't because the bed sheet kept coming off and I had to keep fixing it. It sank-in at the middle of the bed and my wife and I kept sinking into it while sleeping, making it SUPER UNCOMFORTABLE. Whichever "cleaning" staff was on would leave the supplies laying around blocking stairs and passageways. We left the room mid day and returned at night to find the same supplies laying in the same spots along with garbage bags. The location wasn't bad, its on a dead end street and there was decent street parking. Not far from a lot so access to the island was pretty easy. My wife and I feel like we got catfished with this stay... it's good for young persons who plan to only sleep there and do nothing else in their room.

I recently stayed at this hotel, and unfortunately, it was one of the worst experiences I’ve had. The biggest issue was the fact that water was literally dripping onto my bed all night—it felt like Chinese water torture, making it impossible to sleep. On top of that, the room had huge gaps in the door, allowing light from the hallway to shine in all night, which only added to the discomfort. The bathroom had no windows or fans, leading to poor ventilation, and the towels provided were already damp, which was unpleasant. Overall, this stay was far from restful, and I wouldn’t recommend this hotel unless serious improvements are made.

Staff is not available or seen on premises. I didn't receive my code to check in until 3:44pm, check in time is at 3pm. According to instructions I was supposed to receive this code at 2:30pm. This suite is run down bathroom lights wasn't working. Walls are due for a repatch and paint job. Door locks are broken you cant tell if you door is open or locked. They are rundown and need an overall upgrade. Towels and bed linens are also worn and dingy.

Communication was horrible. We stood outside the property for 2 hours until we were given the codes to our rooms (which were wrong). I had NO HOT WATER and had to take cold showers every day. There was NO WIFI. They gave a wifi code, but their wifi didn't even show up in the rooms. There was no phone reception in any of the rooms. We had to go outside or up to the roof to get wifi and phone reception. There were multiple different puddles/leaks in my room that leaked onto my clothes. The soap dispensers in shower and by the sink were filled with water, not soap. The blanket on my bed was not cleaned. Grass outside of the facility was severely overgrown. Mosquito infestation. The facility was not taken care of. I texted them every day with no resolution and no response. I wanted to pay to stay somewhere else

Don't let the bargain price fool you! There was no wifi, therefore also no working tv with netflix/hulu, etc. They blamed it on the temp blackout, but even after blackout it still didn't come back. Common area with microwave, etc was closed off. The room itself has no furniture besides a bed & chair, so no desk to rest anything, not even anywhere to rest phone or put clothes. Poor room ventilation caused the floors to remain wet/damp around fridge throughout whole stay. Bed overly soft and not comfy. Personally, I wouldn't recommend staying here longer than a few hrs. It looks nothing like the pics and not comfortable. I also badly injured my foot on the front of bed, so be careful of that area.
