Pros:

It's just an old ran down hotel that smells like cigarettes and weed. Locks in hotel door don't work properly. They don't accept Google or Apple pay. I didn't see any bedbugs but saw one roach.

Pros:

Do not stay here unless your Tetanus shot is up to date. The entire hotel though labeled no smoking/vaping smelled like an ashtray. The room carpet was so dirty that it turned my feet black. There was crusted food on the wall and table tops. The only thing this place has going for it was the friendly front desk staff that had no idea how poorly housekeeping was performing.

Don't go here. Ok for homeless folks
Pros:

This place is a dump. Filthy and smelly. It's says non-smoking, but it is not. The cleaning person was snagging as they came out of another room! There is a coffee pot, no coffee or other items. The bathroom was so filthy that we had to clean it out small curly hairs! The beds were a torture device.

Pros:

Pictures for this property are completely misleading. Everything is damaged or dirty or altogether missing. TV but no cable. Everything was very very dirty. Holes in the walls. Cigarette burns on the comforters and the floor and the furniture. And everything smelled like smoke. Kitchenette was disgusting but not that we could use it anyway there were no knobs. The air conditioner was broken so it was so hot in our room. The windows opened but there were no screens to keep the bugs out. The carpet looks like it has never been shampooed and there were so many holes in it. Even the mirrors were foggy from never being wiped down. Some of the sheets and pillow cases were stained yellow. All of the lamp shades were broken and the drawers for the side tables did not stay closed. I can forgive a lot. Things can be old that doesn't bother me but the level of gross was something I have never experienced before. I feel like they should have paid me to stay there.

Pros:

Staff really nice. Laundry is clean and smells good. Guests are smoking in rooms and we can smell right away. Neighborhood doesn't feel safe at all, had to park our car across the street in fear to have it broke in...
