Please walk threw your room before committing
Pros:

Location was good area

Cons:

Hotel pictures are deceiving, we were placed in a separate.room not on main hotel, it was like a physiology ward/ Prison. Another building it smelled like urine in the hallways of the 3rd flood and multiple rooms all had bad smells to them. Beware!

GROSS
Pros:

DO NOT STAY HERE — Absolutely Disgusting

We stayed here for ONE night on August 29, and I honestly regret it. This was easily one of the nastiest hotel stays I’ve ever experienced.

The second we walked through the front door, there was a horrible, overwhelming musty smell. The carpet was literally damp, and there was a dehumidifier/carpet dryer running in the lobby trying to dry it out. That alone should have been enough for us to turn around and leave.

Then we got to the room. The concrete walls made it feel like we were staying in an unfinished prison cell or an insane asylum.The room was a decent size with two beds that appeared to be somewhat clean, but there was a loveseat/couch that was absolutely revolting. It had what appeared to be blood stains, bleach stains, and numerous other stains that I don’t even want to imagine the origin of. The lampshades were stained and filthy as well. How does something like that make it through housekeeping?

The nightstands and TV stand were covered in dust and clearly hadn’t been properly cleaned. The bathroom lighting was practically nonexistent, and the shower/tub had visible rust.

And if the disgusting condition of the hotel wasn’t enough, the hotel is directly next to train tracks. We were woken up throughout the night by extremely loud freight trains. So not only were we sleeping in a filthy room, we barely slept at all.

But the absolute worst part happened the next morning.

I woke up with bites all over my hands. I was so concerned that I made a doctor’s appointment, and the doctor confirmed that the bites were consistent with bedbug bites.

Now, after staying here for ONE NIGHT, I’m having to wash and dry everything we brought with us and worry about whether we potentially brought bedbugs into our home. The amount of stress and disgust this has caused is unbelievable.

I have stayed in plenty of hotels over the years, and this was by far one of the most disgusting experiences I’ve had.

Probably the worst location, dirty room, they call it “historic”
Pros:

I generally don’t post anything negative but this site was pretty bad.

Cons:

I understand the location being right next to the train the worst thing was the actual room. There was a cockroach in the bathtub, visibly dirty walls, a broken sofa bed
