Filthy dirty, sheets pillows and blankets were all dirty prior to check in. Black mold in the bathroom, not to mention the cracks in the molding allowing ants in. They tell you not to cook in the rooms, but I observed many people using electric stoves and skillets to cook.

Disliked: Amenities
Unfortunately this hotel seemed to have a lot of unsettled guest. Loud noises people up and out at all hrs. Guest revving bikes in the parking lot. Seemed to have guest that were possibly selling drugs or other substances. I don’t feel comfortable leaving my car in the parking lot. Unfortunately I couldn’t get a refund upon arrival so I had no choice but to stay. I barely got any sleep but I made it through the night.

Disliked: Amenities
Extremely basic room. It did not have a microwave or a coffee machine and no coffee was available in the lobby. The room also did not have hangers to hang up my clothes and when I asked for some at the front desk, I was told that they didn’t have any. The water in the shower was hot but very low pressure but the sink had no hot water. The bed was comfortable and the a/c worked fine.

Room is pretty Dirty,towels have lipstick,TV don’t work,room smells and dirty.They have a sign in the lobby that if you give them 5 star review then they give you $5 off per room so I think that’s why they have good reviews and stars.
