Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Has deteriorated signifcantly since last stay
I paid hotels.com extra to select a room with a refrigerator. On check-in, I was told that they don't have rooms with refrigerators. The heat in the room wasn't working and the window wouldn't close. There was mold on the window sill. They changed my room but the replacement wasn't much better, The particle board furniture was badly in need of repair or replacement, there was mold in the shower, the shower curtain was tattered and torn and a lot more.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The property wasn’t that bad . My room was dirty and my sheets had holes . I showered one day there and left . The towels smelled like old cheese and sweat . The worst part about this place is the Customer Service . The guy working the front desk is the worst . I have never seen anyone so rude to people checking in . I was supposed to do a late night check in and the person on the phone told me I needed to get there soon because they’re are not staying all night . I was actually scheduled to spend the whole week and canceled after one day .Hotel was ok but the people were rude .
Terrible hotal,:
homeless lives in the hotel l by government support money.
smell the pee in the room(so our clothes can smell too) .
Hair and dust on the floor
Dusty and dirty all the room.
Dirty food in the fridge.
Beddings not clean.
Only one of the staff service was nice.
Problem is that we don't have time to change to anther hotel. It is very bad experience.
The bathroom came with no shower curtain. I was given towels that were stained. The mattress was very uneven. It had a deep gap. Very uncomfortable to sleep in. I found trash from the previous stay a dirty sock and a empty soda bottle
Due to the the mattress being old and uncomfortable. I couldnt sleep.
