The staff was generally very helpful and nice. The main factor that prompted us to leave early was the strong tobacco and marijuana smoke in the hotel. It was obvious there was active smoking inside. I even saw someone vaping in the elevator. Our room's air wasn't as bad after I opened the window, but the smell on the bed sheets, coverings, and pillows was still quite noticeable.

The staff was the best part of this stay however my door would not properly shut or even lock for that manner i feel that this particular property could use some tlc or an owner that actually cares to maintain and remove the roaches. In a pinch there handy however for a ling term stay at 375 a week accordingly to there sign with all the security risks that number seems expensive

Honestly. I was a little scared at first, but i also dont judge people based off of looks. Yeah it was a lil run down and yes it was a lil scetchy, BUT we stayed. Beds were cleaned no crazy bed bugs or stains. It was a place to stay and i am very thankful. The one female worker!! Appreciate you and all you do!

Too much uncontrolled rif-raf just outside the lobby. Rooms smelled like nicotine. One could say that those things are to be expected because of the price.. but every place of business should have minimum standards. I will say, the staff was clear and concise about the rules, and was friendly.

Required $100 refundable damage or $25 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit. Roof was filthy (with visible footprints all over floor, bathroom door was severely damaged. In all fairness, the bed seemed clean and I could smell the bleach. Avoid at all costs.

Didn't like it

The entrance and check in was fine. The front desk person was informative and easy to work with. The problems were once I got to my room. There was no trash cans in the room. The toilet paper was sitting on the sink. The holder was missing the rod. The shower curtain rod was not flexed outwardly. Instead if was bowing downward. The tub looked gross. I pulled the sheets back on the beds and found random small pieces of stuff. The TV remote was missing the back to hold in the batteries. Plus all I could hear was kids yelling and playing in the hall. The people next to me had children and they were moking the whining child very loudly. I thought I would go downstairs and take the stairs not elevator. When I pushed on the breaker bar door handle my finger came in contact with some sort of black caulk. I went back to my room and cleaned my hand off of caulk. Grabbed my bags took elevator downstairs and checked out. I told the front desk that the room had no trash cans and it was loud with children next door. I did not feel I was going to be able to have a relaxing stay or feel clean in this place. They charged $100 fee when I checked in for any incidentals. I did receive that back on Monday morning.

The hallways and rooms were dirty. Broken, uneven tiles in halls and fake eyelashes stuck to the floor. The first room we were put in had plants growing out of the walls. Second room we had bug carcuses splattered on the walls and not cleaned, mold in the shower, and the floors looked unswept. There were no fridges or phones in either rooms which was uncomfortable as we were unable to call and alert the front desk when there was a commotion in the room next door that sounded like a physical altercation. The staff member at the front desk was very kind and understanding and helped us into another room when the first one had foliage coming out of the wall. Do not recommend if traveling with children as there were clear signs of prostitution on the premises. First night we stayed there was an unruly gues who broke out a window in another hotel room.
