Not all that

It was okay the bed did have some stains, the toilet would not flush so I went and complained to the front desk and they told me they would get someone to take a look at it and they did make the necessary changes. The area is not the best and I don't think I would stay here again I only stayed one night thank goodness

As soon as we opened the door to our room, the smell of marijuana was so strong! The people in the room next door sounded like they were having a party and, even into the night, it was extremely loud in the hallway. The halls had trash and food on the floor

The room was clean and comfortable while the building overall would benefit from cosmetic improvements. Breakfast was ok, but you had to present a ticket which you had to acquire from the front desk every day. Never experienced that anywhere else. Only real complaint is that I could frequently smell pot from my room which was right next an outdoor stairwell.

While the staff was nice, I didn’t really feel safe as a woman traveling by herself staying at that facility. In my room particular, when I got there and went to look out the window, there was a homeless man with a bunch of trash and garbage bags right below my room. The rooms air conditioner did not get very cool, the coffee maker did not work, and most of the outlets did not work. And although I was offered to change rooms, I had just unloaded all of my stuff, so did not go with that. The sheets Are of the cheapest quality, the kind that make you sweat. I think a lot of people who do not have homes stay here, a lot of construction workers, so while a man might feel fine staying here, I am a traveling registered nurse and I did not feel fine.

Stay away

Not at ALL what was depicted on the hotels.com website. When we arrived, there was a banner hung on the side of the building instead of a regular sign. There was nefarious characters milling about the property as we entered the lobby. When we arrived at our room we smelled pot as we walked down the hall way. Then right next to our door was a stairway exit door that had see though glass. There was a man outside on the open area at stop of stairs smoking. The door was propped open yet it was a way to get into the hotel. We went to dinner and came back to the same scene of nefarious character milling about. Then we arrived at our door to find the same man sitting on the top of the stairwell now smoking with a bottle of liquor at his feet. You could hear intermittent shouts and cries. We called and reported this to the front desk and asked for the manager. The clerk said manager will not be on property until the morning...it was 8 pm. He said he would come up and talk to the man on the stairway landing. Then, I checked my bank account to discover that not only did the hotel charge my debit card/bank account for a $100 incidental charge but also charged $205 for the rest of our stay. I called to the front desk seeking to talk to the manager, but not in a nice way so the clerk hung up on me and said i could not talk to a manager. We left without spending the night at that property. Also, the free breakfast would require us to present a ticket to enter.
