Door lock didn’t work properly. We were shown in order to open the room door the last step was to kick the bottom of the door! Seriously! Room wasn’t made up properly. Two clean wash cloths was it. Bed not made, trash cans not emptied, no water cups…

Our first room wasn’t cleaned at all when we arrived, when we got a new room, our keys didn’t work. Not a single member of staff during our stay spoke English. When we got to our second room, our AC unit was disgusting, our tv didn’t work, sheets were stained, and the box spring was covered in brown stains. The entire hotel had an odor that smelled like feces, and the lobby smelled like cigarettes.

The staff was friendly. The place was ran down and old, which would be fine, but the smell and cleanliness of the room was not. The smell when we opened the door to our room was horrible. I almost gagged. Even after letting the room air out all evening and night, it was still horrible(I even sprayed air freshener)

The elevator was broke. The breakfast was coffee, cold cereal or toaster waffle. There were pallets on floor in lobby upon arrival. You should disclose that property is in restoration process

I would pay an extra $20 to go somewhere else, the train horns were excruciating, the air-conditioning unit decibel level was higher than an AC/DC concert, and not to judge, but the clientele was very interesting. I would not stay there again. It really is disappointing when the ownership is not willing to upgrade and put some money into their facilities.

When I was running water for the tub, there was some type of metal type dirt. That was the tub disgusting. There was tile coming from the side of the tub where I could see behind the tile or baseboards. It was not a very clean or maintained bathroom at all.

Hotel was filthy. TV worked intermittently. Breakfast was 6-10, by 7 everything was gone except dry cereal. Every day. Tub drain was clogged, never fixed. Calling it a dump would be an understatement

Orange/apple juice not working, but no sign for that, so each person who came to "breakfast' had to try it. Staff blamed Pepsi whom they said had been unresponsive for "WeeKS" Reported light bulb out in bathroom. Staff just looked blankly and did not write in down.
