Filthy room, in disrepair, stinky! Trash and a shoe under the bed, toilet seat coming apart, fridge is filthy, they advertised you can get dishes and then they didn’t have any available. Wasted for clean sheets and got yellow stained sheets. When I asked for the advertised amenities and services they said they just don’t have any good maintenance person to fix things. There was no accountability and no effort to make anything right or clean. The worst experience I have ever had in a hotel.

The dirtiest and worst hotel ever! WOW! Do not believe the photos of this hotel you see posted. This is not even a hotel. It’s a hole in the wall. Honestly it should be rebuilt from the ground up. Everything is wrong with it! Why are the rooms being rented out? And don’t even try to get a refund for your stay on a worn out , stained mattress. You will not see a penny! There is no management at this property.

While parking was sufficient, the overall stay fell far below expectations. The room and hallways were not clean, and the hotel had a persistent unpleasant odor. The beds were outdated and uncomfortable, and essential amenities such as a coffee pot and blow dryer were missing. The bathroom was stocked with only minimal supplies, inadequate for two guests. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this hotel.Thanks for the survey
