Low price, but not worth it

Very uncomfortable due to the cleanliness of the hotel itself and the state of the lobby. Locks on the building also were not reliable and I was able to open the door to the hallway of my room without the key.

We had roaches, our toilet was leaking all on the floor, we had WI-FI for a few hours. No help getting it restored. We wanted to watch our show after dinner and just relax. Management was no available. We only stayed one of our two nights! We want a total refund!!

Horrible!! Beware!

Horrible experience! Our first room the heater did not work and woke up very cold. We are traveling from Texas and definitely aren’t used to the cold weather. We asked to be moved into a room where the heater was working and then our 2nd room had a water leak in the bathroom on the ceiling. The breakfast was cereal and wrapped danishes. The hallways smelled like weed and the hotel is very outdated. The bathroom in the 2nd room smelled like urine! This has to be the worst experience ever!
