Pros:

Staff was very helpful, made exception they did not have to because technically I didnt live far enough away for them to rent room to me. There was storm that knocked electric out and had 2 babies with me under one year of age and extremely cold temperatures outside.

Should have spent more money.
Pros:

The staff was very friendly.

Cons:

The room was cold and I couldn't turn on heat. There were no extra blankets. There was hair on one of the beds. The main door and bathroom door wouldn't close without force and the bed was very noisy when I moved. The continental breakfast was subpar at best. We didn't eat there.

Felt very uneasy and gross and scared to be there.
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Everything. It was next to a nightclub. The place stunk. There was debris and trash everywhere. I felt gross and uncomfortable. Things were falling about. The people in and out seemed like they were on something.

Pros:

Location is it’s only advantage to this hotel

Cons:

The room and bathroom both were disgusting! Mold around the window and ac/heat unit, carpet was nasty, the toilet wouldn’t flush wreaked of cigarette smoke and we booked a non smoking room. The sheet wouldn’t stay on the bed bc the elastic was so worn out. We stepped off of the elevator and the smell of people smoking weed about knocked us down, people were out in the hallway arguing and cursing at one another. We could only use the front entrance bc they kept the back door locked 24/7 for the safety of the guests.

This place sucks.
Pros:

Literally nothing.

Cons:

It smelled like cigarettes and dog poop. The rooms were dirty and tore up. Night shift staff was really lazy and rude. The price was way overpriced for the quality of the place.

Cons:

The beds weren’t comfy, each bed only had 2 pillows and I had 5 quests.
The extra bed had no sheets, also uncomfortable, springs were about to poke through.
The bathroom looked like it may have had mold. The whole hotel smelled like smoke even though it was a non smoking hotel and two of my guests left with bug bites on them.

Pros:

Nothing it was the worst experience ever!

Cons:

Booked through Booking.com and when I got there to check in they charged me more! The bed covers were stained and the whole place smelt like Marijuana. It was horrible. I will not go back. No matter how great the price is! I will pay the extra 40 bucks for a better place or not go at all. I will just stay at home or sleep in a tent!
