I ran out, I immediately found another hotel to stay for the nigh. I am never ever staying at these cheap hotels to save 20 or 30 bucks, just the breakfast option, a good breafast option alone is worth the difference. Not worth it at all.

Hood life!! Love it or leave it!!

Kind of a rough looking area. People outside talking outside my room well into the night,. Random people hanging around the hotel all day and all night, they were harmless but it's not what you want to deal with at a hotel.

Dirty rooms, loud surroundings with people yelling

Dirty, rundown room. Smelled like smoke. Bed sheets didn’t look clean. Dents, cracks, and patches all over the walls. People were hanging around outside and yelling / talking loud.

No phone cord attached to the phone; no desk chair for the desk. I am hoping that Danny Brown from OP Live doesn't stop by as there are some shady folks around here... Other than that, all is well.

The lobby was locked at 7:45 pm when the sign says it closes at 8. There were cigarette buts stuffed in my sink drain. The sink leaked onto the floor. The bed sheets and shower curtains were stained too. The area was surrounded by people smoking and loitering in the parking lot and did not feel safe. The only positive I have to say is the lady was very kind and helpful when I checked out. Great service from her... the rest was awful.

I arrived after mid night after a long flight of over 30 hrs from Africa. No one was waiting and no phone contacts. I got stranded and almost slept on the streets. I was saved by a good Samaritan who helped me locate another hotel 5 miles. I had no money for Uber to facilitate my movement to the next location. Very unfortunate and high degree of negligence. They put my life in danger.
