It was so bad. The walls were thin, there were roaches in my shower, rust on the hangers, the shower knob was not attached. I had to Jerry rig it just to use it. A couple in a screaming fight woke me up at 630am right outside my door. People looked like they were living at the hotel. There were Halloween decorations and pumpkins in the window.

I told them my tv was not working and they said they would send someone to fix. Never happened and when I told front desk guy he just shrugged his shoulders and said I don’t know what to tell you. Very rude!!! The other guest were shouting and fighting and when I told another gentleman that I would not give him a ride anywhere I was screamed at and called names. I use to be a manager at a hotel and if I could put no stars I would do that. This is the worst hotel experience I have ever had and I would not recommend it to anyone. Pay a little extra and get a better place. If you are going to end up paying that anyways, go somewhere where the service is friendly and you get your money’s worth.
