Please never stay here!!!Code and card would not open my room door. We changed cards 3 times. Every time we came back to the room we had to go to the front desk to have them open it up for us. Water draining from the walls and under the bathroom sink. Shower looked like it was never cleaned. And all towels and wash cloths looked dirty. We will never stay there again. We tried to get another hotel but everything was booked due to many things going on around town. Pictures online are not what this place looks like.

Check in took over and hour and half. Only one person working. Was late for a concert because of check in. Then a deposit was required that wasn’t on the website. Other people complained about it and the person would lower the deposit for some but not others.

The guest before me come back, while im waiting for them to find out if my room is even cleaned, there is someone already in the room they were just given.

It was a run down dump. The carpet was dingy and sticky in spots. The walls had hole and spots where the paint was peeling. When I turned on the water, roaches came up out of the drain. And there was no bodywash in the shower. The bottle was long since empty.
