We stayed in room 206 and it was pretty decent and comfortable for 1 night. The a/c unit worked great all night, the room does have hardwood floors and it was clean. The lampshades were outdated and dirty. It does have a desk to work on and there’s a TV. No small fridge . Bathroom was cleaned. There’s only soap bars, no shampoo in the shower.

Worstplace i have ever stayed

Horrible place to stay. People hanging out in the hallway all night long. Broken furniture, tv did not work, it smelled weird, neighbors were loud,. The pictures on hotels.com did not match the rooms at all.

Would not recommend, and frankly I’m not sure how this hotel passes inspections. Felt unsafe and didn’t even spend 5 mins in the room to know that my family was not going to stay. Photos are deceiving!
