The floor was actually filthy and the laminate coming up. The bed mattress didn’t fit properly on the box spring. Not enough towels and refused to provide extra. Water running out from the fridge and all over the floor. Grease stains and unknown debris slathered on the curtains. Abandoned trash on the property. Dog 💩 left all over. Real filth pig place and zero pride. Worth less than a 1 star rating.

I reserved a room for me and my buddy. She noticed that he was black and went into the room solo. Unbeknownst to her I was out Getting lunch. She called into the room and told my buddy to get out. She then made up a couple lies and stating that she saw three homeless go into my room. I said no, it was the room five doors down where the staircase starts. She told me that there was one black homeless guy. She then switched our room to the opposite side where I noticed it was predominantly minorities. And the other white. Unfortunately, I have heard many, many stories from others stating the same thing.
