Porperty looks run down. You are required to leave a $100 deposit ($200 if with cash). No remote to control A/C, staff was not very helpflul in resolving the A/C problem. Never came back with a remote for the A/C. Hotel wqs noisy. Thge only think I liked was the area where the hotel is located.
Checked out earlier than scheduled because the water was turned off twice during the 24 hours we stayed. I asked for a refund on the two nights we didn’t stay. I have yet to get my refund over 7business days later.
Its a good place for the cost. Some sketchy people but for that area its normal. The room was nice. Decent size fridge. The air worked well. Nothing I could really care about. You get what you pay for really. I really thought the room looked super nice though.

Nice clean bed and good customer service clean restroom n basic needs .
And a lovely receptionist Alyssa 😍
As I walked in the room smelled like mold and every day I have to go to the office to get my keys to work.
There was one person who seem concerned..I think his name was a Antonio.
When I checked in they charged my card 3 times ,the guy keep saying it didn't go through ect.
Honestly I was late 11pm at night checking in because of flight delays and had no choice but to stay there.
There was loud noises late at night next to my door and seems like homeless folks and and mental guy walking around with his short over his belly back and forth mumbling. As a female that was scary and even two of my Uber drivers ask me why am I there to be careful. The advertised place is not true..no phone in the room.
So I had a room to lock myself in after my meeting over there and thats all I am thankful for.
That place is creepy
Very dirty! Hair in bathroom, red and brown smeared on bathroom walls. Side of bed had multiple dirty spots. Pillows were different color whites. Tv had so many cords going into a serg protector, it looked disgusting like covered in black mild. It also looked like a fire hazard. Foot prints on the doors like someone kicked it. Walls looked like they hadn't been cleaned in months. Would not recommend. Rating for this hotel, pictures and descriptions were not accurate when booking this hotel online. Was upsetting and disappointing. Only good thing I can say is after seeing the room and going to the front desk, it was easy and non confrontational to get my money back. The lady was very nice.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Close to restaurants. Hotel was run down with broken tiles and chipped paint. Bed was okay, but my legs are itching.? Smoking receptical was right out our window, yuck, with noisy early morning smokers.
Terrible check in service, we first paid $25 to check in early (totally fine) but then got to our room which was smelly and dirty, but also had NO water, we went back to the front desk to get a answer when it would be back on. Not only did the front desk lady slightly ignore me, we got several different times when and if the water would be back on. I explained we were there for a wedding and would all need to take showers to get ready. Water took a couple hours, but turned back on.
The room was smelly like damp smelling and very dirty, by one of the beds there was a old water bottle and dirty Q-tip. There was a live roach in the bathroom. Bathroom had hair in the shower and what looked to be dried blood on the shower wall. We were very happy that we only had one night booked at this place.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Saw hair and bugs in our room and experienced some technical difficulties with staff. Other than that the place is nice.
