Do not stay here.

This place is old and in need of serious repair. Holes in the walls, furniture is old and beat up. Bedding had cigarette burns in it. TV is ridiculously small. Bathroom was old and beat up.

Staff is super nice and helpful. Quick check in, really easy. But the conditions of the hotel are abit left to be desired, but you get what you paid for. Rooms are abit stuffy and hot, even with the AC pumping. The beds are big and spacious, abit stiff. Shower has strong pressure, but would benefit from in-room body shampoo gel. But again, on a budget and mind your business, easy place to stay.

The property was dirty and smelly when checking in. I was going to give them a chance. We made our way to the room and there was garbage laying in the hallway. We opened our room and the smell was atrocious. It was a musty moldy smell. It must off been an adjoining room, but they had that door duct taped around the edges. I wouldn’t even set my suitcase on the ground. We turned around and walked out. There were some shady people hanging around and we couldn’t get out of there fast enough. My note to SEL is always stay in a reputable chain hotel. Never again!

Room from Hell (65)

Smell was horrible. Room was supposedly non-smoking but the smell of cigarettes was pungent. AC did not work properly. Spent the weekend in 100 degree heat with a barely usable AC unit. Bathroom sink was coming off. Smell lingers on everything. I’ve been home for a couple of days and I can still smell the horrid smell. DO NOT STAY HERE!

The room was filthy. Blood stains on the sides of both of the beds. Yellow and brown smears and stains on the walls near the vanity area and bathroom. Walls looked like they’d never been cleaned. Tub looked like it had never been cleaned. Comforter on bed was dusty and stained. Pillows seemed clean, but they were extremely cheap and uncomfortable. Tv worked but it was very small and old. Room was quiet. Parking was easy. The outside of the property looked nice, but the inside was rundown and not well maintained. I would not stay here again.
