This hotel was extremely poor condition. The whole place smelled like mildew and was very dirty. Our room specifically had holes in the walls, unpainted patches of drywall from previously fixed holes, there was hair all over our shower, the shower curtain had mold all over it, the area the hotel is in was rough, and the staff were extremely unapproachable and rude.

One of the worst hotels I’ve ever stayed at. There was a plastic bag tied around the smoke detector (which is illegal, unsafe, and not up to code). When we asked about it they said yeah it doesn’t work. The sheets were dirty and stained, when we asked for new ones they handed us a pile of sheets to change them ourselves. There were holes in the walls, trash in the room from previous guests, the floor was sticky and squished under you when you walked, and there was mold everywhere. The air conditioner in particular was covered in it. When we asked for a new room they told us that was all they had. Terrible experience.

Seemed like a sketchy area, no houskeeping during the day, staff was constantly on their cell phones speaking in another language even when assisting me with getting new towels because ours werent changed, orange juice was basically water, door was hard to open as it always got stuck on the carpet both opening and closing (it should not be a workout to open a door), the facet dripped the entire time, there was a dried substance of some sort on one of the headboards - i really dont want to know what that was......all in all I would pay 25-50 a night if i ever have to stay in a place like this emergently. Even though its concidered cheap its over priced when you dont even get basics like clean towels every day.

Details about our stay
They had a very nice pool. There are many things that could be updated, fixed and replaced. For instance the grab bar in the bathroom was not fully attached. The carpet had a spot like an upheaval in the bathroom, the faucet would not turn off without a lot of effort, we could not open the window because the hinge wasn’t on properly. However it did seem fairly clean, decent breakfast, convenient location, friendly desk people.

Stayed once, would not stay again.
Staff was friendly at check in. Had requested pet friendly room, was charged an additional $15 at check in that was not mentioned during hotels.com booking. Room was in disrepair and not cleaned to hotel standards. There was a graham cracker under the bed, beard trimmings around the sink, and surfaces seemed wiped down but not sanitized. The second sink in the room did not work.
