Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
We did not stay here. The property was run down and dirty looking. Outside, a number of people who appeared to be vagrants were standing around smoking. Inside more people were sitting around the lobby. It looked like a place for homeless and/or recovering addicts. Does not look at all as it appears on your site.

Horrible experience
When I got to the hotel the front desk had no record of me reserving a room. They were very rude about accommodating to me getting another room and at charge me an extra $10. When we got into the room we found out there was no hot water. Behind the bed was trash and most of the linens hadn't been changed. Very poor facility

Our stay was very good. The TV in our room did not work and when we asked the desk clerk about it, he came immediately and said that one hasn't worked and they were waiting for repair. We were given another room and it was bigger and better!

Simply awful. Stained sheets, inoperable doors, broken shower faucet, housekeeping didn’t make up the bed for 3 days, questionable folk hanging around the entrance 24/7. Clearly zero expenditures on maintenance/upkeep. Rude/apathetic staff topped off the experience. You get what you pay for; cheap in every sense of the word.
