Worst place ever

This is the worst place I have ever stayed. Picture a hotel where crack heads hangout. It look nice on the website. We tried to check in at 3 but the room wasn’t ready. In fact it wasn’t ready until 8pm. What ever they used to clean the room burned our eyes. I was going to say screw it and go to another hotel but nothing was available. I can’t believe you guys would have something like this on your website.

The room smell like cigarettes the toilet was loose. You couldn’t even sit on it. There was no remote control it. The mirrors weren’t even clean right the curtains were hanging. Didn’t stay more than an hour and I left. I went to a better location and comfortable I do not recommend this location unless you are a drug user drug seller or hooker because that’s what the hotels about.

In a pinch.

There was a drifter harassing people in the parking lot. Then he kept following people back and forth. Running around the place. Unsettling. He saw me and got spooked cuz I saw a girl he was trying to get in her car. So I went to pretend I was her boyfriend. He left her alone. Room was decent. Bathroom was dirty. Mainly the sink and under toilet lid. Ladies have pepper spray or don’t go alone.
