It was FILTHY! The bed had some large identified stains on it that we did not realize were there until the morning, there was someone’s hair all over the under blanket. The room was not clean and the bed creaked really loud.

Terrible Place - Do Not Stay Here

I wish I could give this place 0 stars. I left after 3 hours because the place was a pigsty and absolutely disgusting. Everything was dirty and the bed felt like it was going to snap in half the second I sat on it. Management is equally awful, as they would not even give me a partial refund. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!

Refrigerator was very loud constantly. No carpet anywhere so noise carries from outside room. I was also told by police that this hotel is known criminal area (i was pulled over after leaving).

I don’t leave 1 star reviews but this place is a hazard to public safety, I have a duty to warn people 😂 Entire place absolutely reeks, bugs and hair in the bed, walls are genuinely just filthy with all manner of unidentified stains. Bathroom was even worse, literal piles of dirt and bugs in the corners, lots of stains in the tub. Everything is filthy, moist, and smells horrible. Very noisy. Was unable to stay even one night. Met some roaches and rats who were on their way out, warned me it was unfit to stay there 😂

While the staff was friendly, what really counts in lodging was lacking. 2nd floor room, no elevator. Bedding was clean but the flimsy metal frame it day on was loosely assembled & made a banging noise every time you shifted weight. Provided internet was non functional as was the cable tv attached to the room's tv. Bath fixtures were loose & in poor shape. Bedding was good except for that bedded... no sign of bed critters. Room smelled as though cone insence was their room deodorizer when cleaning. Rest of the place smelled like weed & people. It appears to be a flop house for people receiving housing assistance.
