Though i appreciate the effort to "update" the rooms, they were dirty, blankets had questionable stains and residue left in the freezer. Also, the shower curtain had mildew stains.

This place is horrible. Stay away at all cost. You have people who live there hanging out harassing you wanting to do drugs and hook up hanging outside all hours of the night. The staff doesn’t care about anything. First room they gave us was filthy. Black mold covered the shower curtain. Went back to front desk said something. They got an attitude but gave us another room. This room was just as bad. Filthy. Dirty sheets dirty towels. Mold in the bathroom. We ended up cutting our losses and leaving not staying there. We didn’t feel safe due to the harassment of the guys who lived there and it was just too dirty.

the staff was half dressed and barefoot and looked like he came from his bedroom with dishevled hair and half asleep. ( we did check in very late at almost 2am as we were traveling.) The room had a roach, the furniture was broken, both beds had an unpleasant odor, and the only lock (in this unsafe neighborhood) on the door was the electric key card lock. Never again!
