Run Run Run.AWAY FROM THIS DUMP

This was the worst place I have ever stayed in. Parking was nonexistent. The rooms looked NOTHING like Hotels.com website. If I had wanted to take a shower I would have had to literally climb over the toilet to get to the shower. I had to do my business and literally had to sit on the toilet sideways because there was not enough room between the toilet and the wall..

First off Eff Expedia as they wouldn’t refund me. I spent over $120 on what was a 7.2 rating for this room. I pull up and immediately I notice the parking lot is full of drug addicts and no parking as advertised. Shirtless homeless people all sitting outside doing drugs. I was scared to get out of my car and immediately took off. Expedia would not refund me as they said it’s the hotels policy. DoNOT book here. Scam artists
