Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
People not saying at the hotel gathered outside in groups. Just eyeing you down as you park and smoking outside. Our car threatened to be towed because we had no where to park so parked in a spot apparently apart of the other hotel directly next door in the same parking lot. The smoke alarm randomly sounded at 12 am in our smoke free room and we were terrified that we would be charged $200 for it going off. Incredibly dirty. Toilet didn’t want to flush after going #2 or sometimes #1 if you used slightly too much paper. Super unsafe area .

The room was clean and all amenities were available for a comfortable stay. The people at the friend desk were friendly and sweet. The hotel itself though is a bit rundown. The walls need a paint job and carpets could be replaced with some other maintenance.

Sticky floors and more

It didn't take very long for my feet to turn black from the nastiness in the carpet. The walls were so thin. You could hear the hyped up music and the people talking from the floor above me. There were holes in the wall. The floors were absolutely sticky. There was a 1 to 2-in space Gap between the door and the floor that is supposed to keep all Intruders out of my room. I was not comfortable and was genuinely afraid for my safety.

I paid way too much for what this property provided. Luckily I only booked it for one night, as I was not willing to shower in the room. From the moment I opened the door to a pitch black room, I wanted out. Then I checked out the restroom and there was what I can only hope was a cola that had been spilled and dried to the tub. I’m far from a fancy man, but I got instantly grossed out by the room.
