I don’t leave 1 star reviews but this place is a hazard to public safety, I have a duty to warn people 😂 Entire place absolutely reeks, bugs and hair in the bed, walls are genuinely just filthy with all manner of unidentified stains. Bathroom was even worse, literal piles of dirt and bugs in the corners, lots of stains in the tub. Everything is filthy, moist, and smells horrible. Very noisy. Was unable to stay even one night. Met some roaches and rats who were on their way out, warned me it was unfit to stay there 😂

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
While the staff was friendly, what really counts in lodging was lacking. 2nd floor room, no elevator. Bedding was clean but the flimsy metal frame it day on was loosely assembled & made a banging noise every time you shifted weight. Provided internet was non functional as was the cable tv attached to the room's tv. Bath fixtures were loose & in poor shape. Bedding was good except for that bedded... no sign of bed critters. Room smelled as though cone insence was their room deodorizer when cleaning. Rest of the place smelled like weed & people. It appears to be a flop house for people receiving housing assistance.

The site told us the room is for 3 people, but at the front desk, we were told no. First room had chicken bones on the ground. Second room was worse than the first one, but at least there wasn’t chicken bones again

Bad Experience

First, they do not respect the payment upon arrival service, they charged me before arriving at the hotel, they lied that there was no room with 2 beds, when I said I was going to cancel they charged me an extra fee and gave me a DIRTY room.
