People talking until 2-3am obviously on something. They say no smoking, but my room was covered with the black stain from smoking weed or cigarette smoke. Front desk is closed off except for a credit card slot. See pictures on Google for more.

There was a lot of unsavory people lingering around the property and in the lobby. There was people walking up and down the hallways all night being very loud. The hallway and lobby smelled like marijuana. The staff was kind though and the place looked as though it had been recently remodeled. The room was clean.
