Room 114 was horrible. The laminate floor was coming apart everywhere, the a/c did not work, old outdated furniture, bathroom door had holes in it and the paint was stained, etc. The manager was hard headed, not friendly at all, and treated his employees rudely and poorly in front of guests. Raja, the man who checked us in was polite and helpful to the best of his ability. After staying at over three hundred hotels and motels in my sixty seven years, I can say no to this one.

This was the most disgusting place I’ve ever been to. The floors seem like they’ve never been mopped, mold everywhere, uncomfortable beds. Too expensive for a room that doesn’t even get cleaned between uses.
