My room was filthy and smelled disgusting. There was drug activity and prostitution everywhere. It was so loud I couldn’t sleep at all. I felt very unsafe and left 3 days early. The manager/owner “AK” was extremely rude and unwilling to help when I expressed my concerns. I would NEVER recommend this establishment, save your money. I would rather pay for a campsite than sleep here.

Unsafe Area but Fine Place

I booked this place so I could walk to downtown. However, there were tons of homeless people and others doing drugs right next to the driveway and on the road, thus the whole point of going here was ruined. Should’ve done my homework.

It was a pretty good place other than the toilet would get clogged and dirty water would come up the bath tub and they couldn’t tell us why. And they never changed our sheets all they would do is flip it around which is weird to me

When I arrived to the hotel you could tell it was in a sketchy area but nothing crazy the room looked clean but at night when I went to get in the bed the sheets were disgusting and looked like they hadn’t been washed. There was other peoples hair and dirt on them and they were stained. I ended up leaving in the middle of the night I was too scared there might be bed bugs.
