Clerk was very nice and friendly. Lobby and room furnishings were dingy. The room to which we were first assigned stunk of marijuana. We were moved to a new room, but it did not make a good impression and my partner wanted to leave.

Horrible. Filthy. Anyone can walk into the hotel off the street after hours despite sign on doors saying doors are lock between dusk to dawn. They are not. They send customers to rooms that are not cleaned by the maid…beds unmade , dirty floors, etc . Then found us different room after saying they had nothing else . Beds were made but floor was sticky, room smelled of cigarette smike, and refrigerator was dirty and did not work. They refused to issue refund because they got their money already..

Gross, unacceptably gross. Stained sheet, black mold on the window AC unit. Breakfast which we would have skipped after noticing the flies, was non-existent. The entire experience was awful.
