Pros:

The front desk worker tried their best to help.

Cons:

dirt-stained bath tub, hole in door, exposed light bulb, smell of weed, dirty carpet, bed missing legs, peeling walls. Not worth $150/night. We asked to change rooms and were put in a room that someone else had just asked to leave. We asked for a refund and left.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

They claimed that last year 2025 I stayed there and had drug trafficking etc so im band. Ive stayed there atleast 5 times under my name since 2025 for work. This makes no sense and the hotel staff was completely rude as I tried to explain they have the wrong guest. I asked for a card to call manager and was told we dont do cards.

Lesson learned
Pros:

The only redeeming quality this place had was that it was close to the mall.

Cons:

The bed frame was broken and felt like it would collapse if you moved too much, the mattress itself felt like a slab of concrete. Everything just felt very run down and dirty, I think I would have been better off sleeping in my car. I was also harassed walking to my car by people just hanging around outside of the hotel which was very intimidating traveling as a solo woman. Even at the low cost it was not worth staying here and I will definitely not be returning to this location.

Terrible, never coming back. Guy was nice though!
Pros:

The man at the front desk was very nice! That's it.

Cons:

The place itself is extremely trashy, unclean, every single thing about it was uncomfortable or concerning. No toiletries in the bathroom, smells of heavy smoke/weed, stains everywhere, people clearly doing drugs there. I'm not trying to be mean, but holy crap it was a nightmare.
