Do not stay here. No staff. Exposed wiring in room. No working smoke detector. Bloody sheets. No towels. No toilet paper. Screaming people outside our windows all night (windows did not close). I feared for the safety of my family. Graffiti on the walls in the room. I would not recommend anyone ever staying here.
Smoke detector removed from wall and used to prop up the window….
Light switch that was broke and you could not switch the light.

You get what you pay for. Money was tight for me. If you a heavy sleeper and don’t wake up to the receptionist arguing with the homeless at 3am that are right outside the hotel and just for a place to sleep and completely ok people under the influence coming in you should come here. I grew up in that kind of environment so it’s whatever to me. Be warm the reception wakes up at 11am in the back, so if you need to check out early chances are he won’t be there.
