I will never stay here
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Everything, it was dirty, unkept, and the staff was horrible. I didn’t even stay a night. Not even sure if I’m getting a refund.

Terrible part of town and ragged facilities. Don’t do it.
Pros:

The property was close to where I needed to be.

Cons:

The facilities are ragged and only very surface cleaned. There are absolutely no amenities. This place is still rolling out ‘Covid protocol’ as the reason for not having amenities such as continental breakfast or even an open lobby. The lobby was mostly locked because the amount of houseless and vagrants hanging around the property is insane. Panhandlers, houseless, working ladies…..crawling. This place is in a terrible location. The homeless have broken glass all over the parking lot that no one cleans up. My room didn’t even have a security latch on the door. The floors were dirty. The bed looked like it has been remade with used sheets. No hangers for use. No microwave. Heating unit was filthy. Never again.

It was so bad I didn’t stay, choosing to drive home exhausted in the middle of the night.
Pros:

When we pulled in to the driveway we encountered a group of people blocking the entrance who were zombie people. They were junkies who were standing up while passed out. Approaching the building really didn’t make me feel any better. People were passed out in cars, and the property was run down. The staff was unpleasant, but nowhere near as bad as the smell in the rooms.

This place was so bad, that after the event we decided to drive home in the middle of the night rather than stay at this dump. As a parting gift, while exiting the premises a new group of people were in the driveway, one of which was laying unconscious in the road, with his pants down to his knees… and no, he was not wearing underwear.

Cons:

The smell was horrible. I was shocked that this place received 4 stars. This is a -5 star crackhouse if I ever saw one.

Pros:

Staff was friendly and helpful

Cons:

A lot of homeless and drug addicts in around the building. Roaches in the room and ceiling cracked and water stains. Toilet lid did not fit toilet. Bed was u comfortable and TV doesn't change channels. The place looks condemned overall.

Should have picked a better place
Pros:

Close to several restaurants

Cons:

Loitering and just didn’t feel comfortable.
Probably just not a good area of town.
