1st of all the pics are not justice! This is a run down place with DSS residents, in a horrible area! We saw a dead roach directly in front of the check in desk! Thank god they “accidentally” booked up all the rooms with residents from the community so we got a refund and the heck out of there.

No staff member available for check in. No one answered the phone. Did not check in or stay due to the condition of the property. It was actually a homeless shelter. You should remove it from your site. I would be glad to expand on this during a phone call. Probably the worst I’ve ever seen.

No one should book this hotel. We booked this place through Expedia thinking it’s a good deal. But at the time of arrival they said no rooms are available contact Expedia to make some alternative arrangements. Although it says free wi-fi but signal was so poor we couldn’t even use the browser to contact Expedia. Lobby bathroom didn’t even have soap. It’s a rundown place. Carpet was very dirty. Many people were turned around while we were there. The receptionist was telling 70 people were over booked but not a single room available. How could this be even possible We drove more than 10 hours to stay two nights. Luckily we were able to book another Hotel in Nashua for much higher price. We didn’t have any other choice to shop around last minute. Either this hotel or Expedia has to take the responsibility to compensate for our struggle. Expedia refunded hotel charges and some credit to use Expedia in the future bookings. We ended up paying mush more for last minute booking. The total experience iwas very unpleasant.
