The most disgusting place I have ever stayed. Carpets all stained, bed bugs, and as soon as you opened the front doors the smell of marijuana hit you like a brick wall. I will never stay here again and have told many of my friends that were with us on this field hockey tournament to never stay.

Yuck!

If your hotel goal is to be greeted by the smell of stale tobacco and marijuana smoke, as you walk to your room, bedrooms with cracked ceilings probably from water damage and a dirty wash cloth left behind (presumably) by a recent occupant, this is the place for you. The black mold in the bathroom is another nice touch. This place needs a lot of work. My family and I will never stay here again.
