The room was pretty okay. It was tiny but got the job done. There were stray hairs in the bed prior to sleeping in it. The door itself was filthy. The walls and doors are not sound proof. I could hear EVERY door slam and every conversation in the hallway. Also, big con is that there is no security latch as an extra protection so I was kind of sleeping on edge because I didn’t have that extra internal security. The area is just like any other city. I didn’t feel unsafe, the street lights were on and there were always people outside. No complaints there. If you want to walk around after checking out, there is no secure place to keep your stuff. It just sits out next to the counter leaving it to anyone to take your stuff if they wanted. Last, they do not answer the phone so don’t bother trying. Overall, I’d give it a 3/5 with all things considered.

This was the absolute worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at. The bed was dirty. The mattress pad had blood stains on it. I went downstairs and told the guy after we had came back in for the night he was so passive aggressive. He acted like he didn’t care. I explained to him that it was a health hazard and refused to stay in that room and on that bed. He then lied and said there were no rooms available and after going back and forth for 10 minutes he finally decided to switch my room. His customer service is horrible! I highly do not recommend. It’s run down and needs to be shut down.

We stayed two nights and the room wasn't cleaned. The walls were covered in little drawings—not art, but like when you leave your child with a crayon and they start painting the walls. The hotel feels abandoned.

Don’t book here

I wish I could give them 0 stars, everything was dirty and gross. Pubic hairs in the bathroom stains on the mirror, everything reeked of smoke and cigarettes. They don’t even have an ice machine. And when I asked about the patio to get some fresh air was told it was closed. This place just sucks

I am a frequent traveler and am VERY forgiving when it comes to hotels, but I was very disappointed in this hotel. When we arrived, we weren't sure that we had the right location because there is NO SIGN on the outside with the hotel name. We got to our assigned room but it was not cleaned. We went back down to reception and got a different room, but it was a queen bed instead of the king we had paid for. There was also a loud clanging coming from the bathroom every so often, likely due to the elevator being right next to our room. They said they would address this but never did. There were also many features the hotel advertised but does not provide: -No complimentary breakfast -No fridge or coffee maker in the room -No alarm clock -If there was a gym, we weren't made aware They do have a smart TV, towels, and small shower toiletries. The one real saving grace was that the a/c worked well. They additionally let us leave our luggage in the lobby after check-out, but without any tags or accountability system, which made us nervous. Upon checkout, the staff said the hotel manager would call us about a room credit for the bed size issue, but they never did. I attempted to call the hotel three times after our trip but they never answered and there is no voicemail system. Unfortunately I have no choice left but to leave them a lousy review. Such a bummer because I could have forgiven the shortcomings if not for the total lack of communication from the staff.
