To be honest, policy at this hotel are very odd.. they kept the deposit because of vaping? First of all how do they know we were vaping? Are the camaras in tge rooms? Front desk treats you very poorly, no respect. Our room was ok.. the bed was vey low to the floor... Breakfast bread was hard milk was bad... No security its surrounded area in not the best... i did not feel safe i would not go back to this hotel. Thus us a personal opinion its my experience anyone might have different. We never stayed in thos hotel we thought it was great but we would not go back. Personaly I thought it woukd be good but no. We lost almost 300 dollars and it was extremely exhausting staying there..

Hell nah... Terrible area of town, broken elevator buttons, shower in room did not work. Receptionist was very courteous, although she was new and inexperienced. I checked in and immediately checked out and went elsewhere. Avoid the headache and book elsewhere. The 1 star is for the amazing receptionist, the facility would receive 0 stars if possible.

I was very disappointed. The room I paid for seemed to be not available , and be prepared for roaches to visit. This made it difficult to sleep and feel comfortable. I hope management addresses the cleanliness issues soon, as this location has potential but needs major improvement in hygiene and maintenance.
