Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The place felt old and poorly maintained. Guests were drinking and blasting loud music from a car right outside their rooms, which were also double parked. The elevator reeked of beer and had empty bottles scattered inside, giving off an unclean and unsafe vibe. While the room itself was relatively clean on the surface, the furniture was ripped and worn down. The bathtub had visible stains, and there was noticeable mold in the shower area. On top of that, the air conditioning didn't work at all, which made the stay even more uncomfortable. Overall, this hotel felt more like a party hangout than a place to rest. It’s in desperate need of repairs, better maintenance, and stricter guest policies. I would not recommend staying here unless major changes are made.

Horrible manager. Dirty rooms worst ever beware!

Horrible staff and a terrible manager at the front desk! Beware travelers, he is a lair and will not refund any cancelled trips there even though he says he is he will NOT issue any refund you must contact whoever you booked it with to get the refund because he is a fraudster and con. The place is run down entirely in every way and is in desperate need of total renovations and repair. Just filthy with broken mirrors off the walls, broken lights and no working in room Phones or tv Channels! Bad disgusting carpets and wall paper, barely flushing toilets, just horrible service and overall experiences ever. Worst breakfast ever as well, disgusting.
