Waste of money.
Pros:

Nothing. Most disappointed

Cons:

Staff is unprofessional, smell is unbearable, beds and sheets are rotten, washroom stink, corridors smells awful,
Ac/heeter doesn't work.
In total don't waste time if this place is $10/ night. I don't know why booking. Com let them have in their portal. Shame for this app as well

Pros:

The room was damaged, stains everywhere. It had a very strong oil inhibitor odor. The guests next-door were fighting all night smashing the room and the police had to come. There was no staff on site to report the incident. Couldn’t change rooms. I was with my two young daughters and they had to endure that for the entire night. Worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at and I would never recommend this or stay there again. The vending machine in the lobby took my money and the staff knew it wasn’t working, didn’t notify the guests or put a sign up. When I spoke to them, they just got argumentative and rude. Rolling her eyes and raising her voice.

Pros:

The one and only person that tried to help me that is a person that lives there.

Cons:

They are extremely rude for turning parents and a child down because they were 10 mins late for check in due to getting lost and took a wrong turn absolutely terrible service. Do not goto this place find another the ignorance is unreal and heartless so how is the service going to be if it starts that way!

Pros:

Worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Had to ask for a remote for cable and a plug for the bath. Our bath resulted in a flood to the suite below us. Condoms found in the tv stand. Entire place smelled.
