The Hotel is in Terrible shape. What they have in the pictures on the website is not even close to what they have in reality. I can understand that the situation is getting difficult, but cleaning is not a good option. The covers of the tables are kept dirty for days. I am sure because I dropped a bit of coffee, and the exact shape of the coffee was there. Breakfast is also terrible; the coffee tastes horrible. Honestly, this is the worst hotel I've stayed in in years....

Got in late. The room was dingy and furniture worn. TV remote was dirty, sticky and missing the battery cover. In the morning/this morning I seen a cockroach on the floor by the room refrigerator. When I used the shower I discovered what looked like dried blood stains smeared onto the shower curtain. At check out time, I reported it to the front desk staff. They just asked if I told the night staff about it and said “I’m sorry for any inconvenience, I’ll let the house keeping staff know about it”.

Do not stay here

Do not stay here, the pictures do not match in person at all. Hotel is so old and out dated. Carpet was ripped all over, water damage in walls. TV did not work, lights flickered and some did not work at all. Large cigarettes' burns in the sheets of non smoking rooms. Bathroom ceiling looked horrible. I felt gross staying there and unsafe. Elevator smelled disgusting. Carpets dirty and hotel room had a bad smell. Wall to room next door felt like it was coming down. Just did not feel safe or comfortable did not sleep at all and will never stay again or recommend.
