Worstplace i have ever stayed

Horrible place to stay. People hanging out in the hallway all night long. Broken furniture, tv did not work, it smelled weird, neighbors were loud,. The pictures on hotels.com did not match the rooms at all.

Would not recommend, and frankly I’m not sure how this hotel passes inspections. Felt unsafe and didn’t even spend 5 mins in the room to know that my family was not going to stay. Photos are deceiving!

We were surprised to find only three pillows on the king sized bed, but we were given another one when we requested it. The bed was comfortable, but the head of the bed is across from the sink area with a noisy old refrigerator and a bright floodlight beaming in through the uncovered window above the fridge and it was very hard to sleep with this shining on our faces all night long!

This place is a complete dump. DO NOT STAY HERE!! Walking in the room several big holes in the walls that have been freshly patched not even painted, smelled horrible and in plain view a nasty long hair on the bed was the final mark to get us out.. we did not stay and they would not approve my refund trough Expedia.
