Not like the photos.

The hotel didn't quite match the photos. They had baggage carts but no elevator. Stairs only. It was dirty. The bathroom floor hadn't been cleaned in quite some time, especially behind the door. The carpets were dirty, and I saw an earring back in the living area. Breakfast was just as questionable. There was butter but no bread or bagels or anything. Yogurt cups & dry cereal. With a gallon jug of milk that everyone handled and shared. Kinda gross. The lids didn't fit the coffee cups. Nothing else for breakfast. The personnel were friendly and kind.

Fine if you're desperate

Overall, hotel was dirty and worrisome to stay in. Did not find bed bugs; did find homeless sleeping on couch in the entryway. Breakfast was available in the morning and waffles were good.

Terrible. Do not stay here.

The photos are entirely misleading. The toilet was broken and wouldn't flush. I was given a pencil to dip into the tank to dislodge the flapper for a flush. The hairdryer sparked and smoked, and I was afraid the smoke alarm was going to go off. But then I found that the alarm had been removed. The floors in the room and hallways were not vacuumed, and there was litter on both.

We did not check in, and because we weren’t within the 24hr notice we lost our money. The look and feel of this establishment along with front desk service was not satisfactory.

I arrive at 8:00 am because my flight was delayed I checked in for a 2 night stay. I made it until 4:00pm. I checked out because it was so bad. Carpet was dirty and stained, I found garbage on the floor that was not cleaned up. Shower was old scratched and rusted. Molding falling off the wall. I did not expect a lot for what I paid but I did expect clean. It was worth the loss of the 2 nights I paid and the d yea I paid for a new hotel to leave early.
