DO NOT STAY HERE! I booked the room through Expedia because it was close to the Hard Rock where we were going for a concert. The room was absolutely DISGUSTING! There were flies, every surface (including the walls) was covered in a layer of filth. The sheets were stained and there was only a thin sheet covering a ripped, disgusting mattress. The door handle/lock was loose and didn't feel secure. There were 5 police cars out front. We couldn't stay there it was so terrible. The owner refused to give us a refund even though we didn't even stay. Oh, they charged $20 to park there too.
