We arrived at the facility on July 24th. The prices are really low so that’s why we chose this hotel. The staff is friendly enough, but they don’t get the job done. Air conditioning is leaking all over the building and the toilets do not work clogged sinks. Television issues. Facility is not clean.

DO NOT STAY HERE! Entering the building there is a strange odor that is present throughout the facility. The hallways have visible damage and stains all over the walls and carpet. Inside my personal room: the safety lock on the door was removed, the safety rails in the shower were broken off, none of the surfaces were clean as there was crumbs and liquids still present. The final straw was half of the room was flooded with sopping wet carpet due to a broken AC unit. When I went to complain at the front desk, there were no other rooms available. The only pleasant part of the experience was they did grant me a refund.

Horrible. Place needs to be shutdown. The only good thing about it was the guy behind the counter. He gave me a refund without being an issue. The lobby smells of mold and mildew. The room smelt of urine and meth. There was an active drug deal happening in the room next to mine. The lock was busted off the door. The door between the conjoined rooms was “secured” with a dollar store chain lock, tape and wishful thinking. Bathroom was gross, beds were gross. It was all gross. Bugs, all kinds. It’s great place to stay if you’re looking to bring home roaches or hepatitis.

Front desk staff was super friendly, but hotel was very dirty. Our entire hallway was filled with a very strong smoky smell. We held our breath to walk through it and then just checked back out. There is a sign at the front desk that says “100% smoke free. Breathe easy.” But that is not the case.

This was the worse hotel stay of my life. The conditions were extremely unsanitary and unsafe. The water was turned off for two days. When it came back in the water was yellow. There were roaches, gnats and other pests. Exterior doors were left open at all times allowing unauthorized guest to have access to the building. There was trash everywhere. The amenities that were advertised were all out of order. There is no pool, conference room, laundry facility, or workout room.
