This place should be torn down and rebuilt. When I checked in I had to wait and then the guy checked us in while eating. Go to the room and there were stains on the covers. Towels were off white and still dirty. Roaches were crawling in the tub. Water bugs. This place is deplorable. DO NOT STAY HERE. The pictures are FALSE ADVERTISING

Dirty stained sheets, no deadbolt on the door, commode constantly running, no toiletries towels or toilet paper, hairs in the tub and on the floor and it had obviously not been cleaned or serviced. The pictures of the hotel on the internet are beautiful and deceiving. Hotel is extremely overpriced for the quality. Chose not to stay at the hotel…unsafe!!

Disliked: Cleanliness
Its a non smoking room but it did smell like smoke. There were some cleanliness issues. Found a dirty towel folded up as clean in the bathroom. The others didn't really inspire that much confidence either. The bed had either sand or like crumbs under the main sheet ( had to shake the bed clean. Not sure what it was. The door chain is broken. The door doesn't lock on its own you have to press the button for it to lock if not you're doors will remain unlocked. Besides that the room was fine. To be honest for the price I paid it was much better than another I stayed for almost $370 and to an extent the room was in a better condition.

I’m not one much to complain, but I just drove 12 hours all I need was a few hours of sleep. I asked to see if I can check in early. I couldn’t. I came back at three and there was still noise from construction happening in the building 8 o’clock and there’s still noise and I still have seven more hours to drive. I think coming from the hospitality industry after 3 o’clock check in there should be no construction going on.

Horrible Horrible Horrible run don’t stay

The hotel was horrible, ran down, holes in the wall, missing toilet seat, moldy and mildew, bathroom exhaust fans are missing, looks like drywall repair started but never finish, looks nothing like what’s in the picture, it was so bad I couldn’t stay then they manager/maintenance/painter told me to contact who I booked through for a refund and when I contact hotels.com I was told it was up to the property manager and he refused worst transaction I ever had in my life please stay away for this place.
