The price was the cheapest but the one bed smelled like pee, the ac didn't work and there were weird stains all over the floor.

The hotel overall was clean and had everything you needed. However, carpet was dirty and comforter stained. Worse of all bed and pillows were hard as rocks. I would still recommend to people on a budget.

They need to update their photos. I’ve included photos to show the stains on the towels, some kind of liquid running down the walls, the shower head coming out of the wall, and so much more. The lamp pic alone will make you wonder when the last time it was cleaned. It was quiet. The breakfast was simply mediocre. Expected more.

Our 1st room was on the second floor and they did not have an elevator and the room was dirty and furniture was broken. They ended up giving us a room on the first floor which was in better condition but the furniture was dirty and there was poop on the bathroom wall.

The place wasnt bad for the price, but it definitely needs some actual cleaning done. The carpet needs cleaned desperately. The pool itself was decent but the bathroom/shower area was absolutely disgusting. The sheets/towels in the rooms were clean but were very worn out. The couch in the room should just go to the dumpster. The toilet and shower drained very slow. The breakfast was very basic and the milk was expired previous day. The yogurt had a couple days left. The food license had about a month left and i never saw the actual hotel license which is supposed to be posted in a visible location. But overall they need to actually clean the place. But was greatful for clean towels and bedding.
