My stay was very disappointing. The first room was dirty, the second had trash, drinks, and unmade beds, and only the third room was usable but it still smelled like cigarettes. I had to record the condition of the rooms to show the front desk. Poor cleanliness and overall experience. Would not recommend.

This is the single grossest hotel I have ever seen. We went in our room and immediately booked a room at the Hampton Inn. Plus there was no one staying there and they charged us $20 for ‘early check in’. Run, do not stay here
