There was layers of nastiness in every corner of the lobby, elevator and hotel room…especially the bathrooms. The hallways were lined with air fresheners, obviously trying to cover up a smell but so many to give you a headache. This is not the hotels fault necessarily, but at arrival there were people who appeared to be living in their car right outside our window. I do not recommend this hotel.

The hot water did not work. The refrigerator in the room didn’t work (freezer did). This was the only available hotel for a last minute one night stay. If we had booked for longer, I would have moved to a different hotel. The price of the room seemed steep since the place was dirty and outdated.
