For the price we didn’t expect much-we could deal with the area and the company around the other rooms—but no heat at night —no no no. Had to sleep fully clothed in shoes to try to keep warm! Staff was super nice. It was run down — but the cheapest

The front desk clerk was rude and very disrespectful. I guess he was having a bad morning before I came, but he was totally out of line. He called me the N word and that struck a nerve with me so I responded with how I was feeling. Very disrespectful

I found two roaches in my room had to be replaced into a different room. After being replaced into that different room, there was a privacy issue with the curtains, not being able to close. I didn’t complain about it because I felt like roaches are a bigger issue. The area outside of the hotel had a lot of garbage laying around and there’s a lot of prostitution
