The room was clean but smelled like cigarettes even though it was labeled non-smoking. Staff were very friendly. There was homeless staying in the parking lot but kept to themselves.

The room was filthy!!! There was hair in the sink, months of dust on the top of the tile in the shower, and the floor had not been cleaned (at least not with clean water) probably in a year. To walk across the floor with damp feet was to have thick black dirt on them after just a few steps. The walkways around the hotel were disgustingly dirty as well.

The room was in okay conditions kinda beat up and snelt like smoke but it was clean. We only stayed one night and wanted to just sleep but that didn't happen. There were people yelling and screaming all night. One crazy lady even ran up to us yelling asking where a guy ran off with her room jey. Called the front desk at 3am because a guy was right outside our room singing very loudly. Someone smoking crack or some sort of drugs not weed under the stair case by our room my kids saw. In the morning as we were leaving we saw multiple homeless parked around some with flat tires looked like they have been there for weeks. Even a few ladies that looked like prostitutes. I did not feel safe their with my kids. I reported to the front desk and was nice about it and explained i usually don't complain and can deal with a lot but this was ridiculous . She took my number to hace the manager call me to see if I could get a partial refund but I never got a call. The staff was friendly though.
