Pros:

This place is ran down, and honestly unsafe. Door wouldn’t lock, dirty throughout. We stayed 20 mins and left. Couldn’t do it. Probably one of the worst hotels I’ve ever stepped into.

Pros:

The whole building needs to be remodeled and the administration needs to keep the building with the a/c turned on because that area is too hot. Rooms are outdated and lack of comfort.

Pros:

This place is an unsafe dump. We checked in. It was sketchy. An older man was sent upstairs, to vacuum quick and turn on the ait conditioner, we later learned. Door locks were broken, fire alarms missing with wires hanging, dirty linens, no light or fan in the bathroom and disgusting vanity and mirror. I immediately contacted expedia to inform them. Before leaving they agreed I would be refunded if I stopped at the desk to inform them of my issues, which I did. I have yet to be refunded and Expedia claims the hotel must approve the refund. Never again! So disappointed and not refunded 6 days and at least 7 contacts later.

"My stay at this hotel was comfortable overall. The room was clean and the staff was courteous and responsive. The location was convenient for my travel needs. However, I did feel that the breakfast options could have been better, and the Wi-Fi was a bit slow at times. Apart from that, it was a good stay, and I would consider coming bac
