Gentlemen at checkin was unprofessional and unethical. I checked on the possibility of an early check in the day before and was told it was $30. Upon showing up and mentioning early check in the gentlemen told me it was $40 "today". When I proceeded to ask if I could just leave my luggage he found me a room. This interaction is the basis for my low overall rating. The lady at check out was friendly - the guy at check in needs to be replaced.

The place is a dump with roaches. I was turning in a remote that did not work and they got mad at me. I told him about roaches in the room and he started arguing. Worse he sprayed my room when I was out and I got sick with congestion. Very unhealthy and disappointing place.

For none smoking room , it definitely smell like someone’s been smoking when I walked in first time. I looked around the whole room and found cigarette butts in the shower drain. Being so disappointed I was already so tired and hungry. I just removed them from the drain and threw them outside trashcan I was too tired to fight it with the hotel rep.

Sheisty

Charged $100 cash deposit for the room kept referring to "him" even though her name is on the wall as manager. Charged $25 more cash because of temporary ID. Threw us out after I video the cash transaction (no receipt given) called the cops and then kept the $25 ID fee.

No microwave, when they brought one it sounded like a jet plane taking off. Shower worked poorly. Skimpy breakfast and staff didn’t seem to care about replenishing bread which was the only bread thing offered other than waffle maker, no fruit but did have juice.
