Not a great hotel Esp for well over $100

Pretty crappy conditions. It’s a little insane that it costs $140 for a night to stay in a room that should cost $40

There was no breakfast and no one at the desk in the mornings But the bathroom and bathtub was extremely dangerous. I’ve never been to a hotel where the bathtub was almost 3 feet from the floor you had to climb in. I slipped getting in and hurt myself getting out have black and blues all over my knee, and my husband almost fell in the bathtub as well when I try to complain in the morning no one was there at the reception . Very horrible and scary experience. I would like to send photos of my bruise.

We arrived to find a couple of other frustrated guests that had apparently been there for an hour calling the front desk, they left in frustration. Someone finally appeared while we were about to leave. The rooms were motel style open to the outside, and daylight was clearly visible around the door. The bathtub was dirty. We stayed to sleep one night and left early the next morning. The included breakfast I cannot comment on but it certainly did not look promising.
