No trash bin in room. No smoke detectors. Bathroom door lock was broken. Fridge was leaking. No microwave. Place is a dump. One of the worst places I’ve ever stayed. Walls were damaged and very poorly repaired. No room cleaning services so we didn’t get fresh towels or sheets. I would highly recommend not staying here.

the room was terrible. i’m not one to nit pick hotel rooms often. but this one was definitely terrible. please save your money and get a different hotel !! the window was broken and didn’t even seem like they tried to fix it. the smoke detector was ripped out of the ceiling and so were the two light fixtures. so we had 3 HOLES in the ceiling. the shower head was broken and the water sprayed literally all over the bathroom. the tub had a crack in it so it was flooding the bathroom. there was paint all over the tv and the mini fridge. paint was in the holes to the outlets so we couldn’t use them. the bedding they had on the bed also had holes and rips in them all over. there was a huge spider problem in the room. the ac was blowing out a nasty smell, as if there was a dead animal inside of it. the peep hole in the door wasn’t in there, it was literally a big hole drilled through the door, someone could easily just look in at you. the door didn’t shut completely so any slight breeze, or when you shut the bathroom door, the front door opened, even when it was locked it still opened quite a bit. the employees were very rude and disrespectful. if i could rate this 0 stars i would.

The front desk people are super nice, but the room was gross and there are alot of shady characters on the property. When i was walking to my room there was a guy smoking fentynol on tin foil when i turned the corner, the only thing good about this hotel is the location, Ive stayed here alot in the past because of close proximity to my family members but im not doing it again, this is what you would expect if the room was like $50 but for more then double, im good.

Filthy, disgusting room, I needed a room just to sleep couple hours before I head to work as I live couple hours away and didn’t want to drive at midnight, the room was absolutely filthy, and at 2:50am a homeless person was knocking on my door, and I couldn’t sleep anyway since the place was just loud and full of homeless people.
