Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This property is absolutely horrendous. It looked really sketchy upon arrival but we still went ahead and checked in, got the room key, but upon entering the room…we immediately did a sweep and was like hell no. Place is falling apart. Literally part of the wall in the bathroom was missing. Black mold questionable. I honestly think this place could be condemned.

It’s fine if you’re just looking for a cheap place to sleep for the night. The property really needs to be updated. The worst part was my room reeked of cigarette smoke, which was absolutely disgusting. Maybe they have non-smoking rooms, I didn’t ask. They could definitely use new beds, mattresses, and bedding as well.
