The property itself is very dark at night. The rooms are clean but there is a language barrier as I had two people just walk into my room and turn the lights on while I was still in bed one morning. The hallways need cleaned daily and do not receive that. The fridge and microwave work as should and the TV is a nice 50" fire TV.

Unsafe

Many of the outlets in the room did not work. Cleaning staff attempted to enter my room hours before check out. The room smelled damp and mildewy. If there has been other hotels with vacancy I would have left.

The price point around half of what the Marriott and Hilton Hotels charge compared to this one seemingly fit the bill. It took two days for staff to actually get me a tv that works, never mind that I never did get cable working. In addition 3 of 4 lamps were not working, and the fridge died overnight. 5 day stay, since checked out but I’m still waiting for additional pillows from the front desk. Don’t bother using the hotel room phone, no one answers. While the hotel says no smoking, maybe that wasn’t enforced until 2022 because it sure smells like it. Parking lot - lots of odd characters, trash everywhere, not one space feels fully safe to park. Bathroom - remember this ain’t the Hampton Inn. If you’re over 6’ tall good luck standing in the shower. And don’t worry, the spots on the tile outside the shower, or the spots under the sink were always there, no need to worry. Bedding - at least the bed was soft, and it was odd that only the morning of check out did I see the blood spots on the main blanket over the bed. Fun times!!

Horrible mattress on the bed Overall condition of the facility was old and decrepit! Very unprofessional checkin service! Charged way over what the room was worth for the physical condition things were in! Based on how electrical appliances were plugged in, it did NOT appear safe! Multiple lights were missing bulbs! Some electric outlets did not work at all!
