Sheets were dirty and staff was not helpful at all. Mold was in the tub and there was no microwave so I had to go to the lobby to warn up my food. The TV remote didn't work for the TV so I couldn't watch anything

I'm very skeptical when it comes to this hotel because there's too many cons versus prose. When it comes to safetiness, cleanliness and comfortability service was well below average, there were blood staines on the comforter and damages that were poorly repaired.The new carpet that was installed in the room was horribly installed.You can see the seam in the middle of the floor. No, no.I'm not going to lie, nothing matches in the room . The couch cushions don't even sit evenly . The refrigerator was not plugged in and wide open when we got in here. The t v mount was poorly assembled and didn't have an extension cord so that the t v could move accordingly. Honestly I want my money back... horrible place. One star on average

They false advertise the breakfast. There’s no continental breakfast. There’s no toilet paper in the room. There’s no telephone in the room. The comforter is all blacked up. Nobody at the front desk. This place is just boo-boo.

The staff that work at this place are lunatics. They were trying to scam me out of money and tried to tell me I had to leave the hotel because I had 2 people in the room with me. When I checked in I put it would be 3 guest. I ended up leaving in the middle of the night because the owner was so disrespectful and imposisble to talk to.
