So so for the money

It’s very dated and not very clean. The bathroom floor had a soft spot and you feel like you’re going to fall through to the room below. No one cleaned our room in 4 days or emptied the trash. The tv is hung on the wall above a tall dresser so if your on the bed you have to stand up to change the channel.

This place is a dump. I closed the door and put the chain on for extra security and the door frame fell off. Bathroom door has a hole in it plus is cracked at the bottom making it difficult to open and close. Mold or something on the bathroom ceiling. Black cob webs in the bathroom.2 towels for 3 people. Heating/cooling system was either broken or hard to understand. Slept in a 63 degree room. The only thing good was the beds were soft and cable tv. Falls under “you get what you pay for”

Do not book

This hotel was absolutely not as advertised. The pictures on the sight are not at all what this property looks like. The room was very dusty. Beds very uncomfortable. Only 3 small towels in the room stains on the bed spread. The room has not been thoroughly cleaned. I bought my own cleaning supplies to disinfect and clean up the room. The outside of the hotel looks horrible broken windows, trash outside of other rooms. It’s very gloomy, the fridge was nasty and old. The phone dirty carpet dirty. I’m very disappointed and feel that I was duped. Beware of cheap hotels. The price may seem good but it’s definitely not worth it. Fuzzy tv. Thin walls. Dull lighting. Very much false advertising.

This was the worst hotel, ever. It was the only available one for that night and our flight got delayed so we had to stay overnight. The blankets had holes in them, the bathroom had a big slab of what appeared to be poop on the wall. There were holes everywhere. You could hear the people in the next room and above you, loud and clear. The people upstairs were up the entire night!! Horrible, horrible hotel. Absolutely disgusting!!
