Categories

Cleanliness
1.2
Multiple reviews report roaches, bed bugs, dirty tubs/sheets and strong odors (including marijuana). Cleanliness is a major recurring negative.
Service
8
Mixed reports: several guests explicitly praised staff/people, though others reported poor attention and refund/deposit issues. Positive staff interactions were common enough in reviews to justify a higher score despite inconsistency.
Location
7
Some guests described the area as not ideal (riff raff, loud late-night arguments), but location was not universally criticized and is typical for budget options in the area; scored above average to balance strongly negative cleanliness/room issues.
Room Quality
3
Numerous complaints about broken fixtures, sinking floors, furniture falling apart, electrical hazards, clogged drains and generally poor upkeep.
Amenities
3.5
Guests reported missing or nonfunctional amenities (no pool, no ice machine, no trash can) and overall lacking facilities.
Value for Money
4
Several guests requested refunds or felt the stay was not worth the cost due to unclean rooms and poor sleep; inconsistent value perception.
Food and Beverage
4.8
Standard quality for this hotel tier
Overall Experience
6.9
Overall stay was negatively impacted by cleanliness and room condition, but intermittent positives (helpful staff, a working shower in one review) and some guests noting only people as pros moderate the overall score.

Glad I made it out of there with nothing bad happening. Definitely not a good night's sleep!
Pros:

The water pressure in the shower was pretty good, and the shower head was decent. It's almost like it does not belong there and that the water pressure being great was an accident somehow.

Cons:

The place was not in the best area and there was rif raf staying there. People were arguing outside my door at 3 in the morning and playing Jamaican music and slamming doors. I was surprised my Expedition was not stolen. The light over the sink could not be shut off so I took the cover off to remove the light bulbs and one was burnt out and the part that the bulb sticks in was melted. When I took the bulb out that was on, it sparked and flared fire for a second and I thought the place was going to burn down. It stopped and I did not replace the bulb. Definite fire hazard. The cord for the ac unit was sticking up through the floor, and the floor was split and messed up. Pretty shotty job. The front door does not sit right in the frame. Sink would not drain when I brushed my teeth.
