So first of all they "sold out" of the room type that I had RESERVED 2 months earlier. That should not be possible if they understand what a reservation is. Then they charge an additional $3.25 "Incidentals Fee" that is not disclosed when making reservations via Expedia. It is not much money, but it is the principle of it that is wrong. Then the "lock" for the room literally had no catch, just a smooth metal plate so the deadbolt couldn't stop anything because the bolt literally has no receiver. The A/C also could only run for 10-40 seconds (not kidding) at a time between 1-2 minute rest periods all night long. I stayed here approximately 4 years earlier and it was quite nice, but has gone down hill tremendously since then.

Where should I start? Methheads all around the place with access to the back of the hotel property. The halls and elevator reeked of cigarette smoke, when there are multiple signs stating this is a 100% smoke free establishment. The shower was absolutely disgusting, the drain was clogged and there was a dead fly hanging on the top of the wall. We couldn’t use the coffee machine, microwave, or fridge due to bugs. The only visibly clean thing in that entire room were the fresh towels. The police came to arrest one of the methheads and found $2 worth of meth. There were multiple occasions where we had to either run to our room or sneak out just so that no one would see us, as everyone was sketchy. The only reason why I’m not giving one or zero stars is because the staff were very attentive and friendly. I thank God that our stay was only for 3 nights because if it were any longer I would have slept in our rental car.
