Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We didn’t have the breakfast, the room was dirty. The staff was very unfriendly and antisocial, especially at the front desk. The fire extinguishers are not up to code. The cases around them are broke and there’s wasps nest in them. The elevator has no permit or anything from the city where the fire department and it needs to be updated and worked on. I would not suggest this hotel to anyone.

Anthony

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
First room was dirty and had a used rag and used bars of soap in the tub along with hair and crumbs on and around the bed, and unit smelled of urine. The second room ( which we took because we were tired after driving 8 and a half hours) had no soap, conditioner, or body gel, and very little shampoo. Asked the front desk for some, she said that house keeping would be up the next morning to refill the containers.... That never happened..... Drywall mud covering a water damaged wall (seemed to be covering mold or mildew) water damaged ceiling tiles, warped ceiling tiles which opened up to the open area between floors, crumbs around the bed, door chain broken off and missing, water leaking outside the door from above unit. And the pool was green and full of algae. Room 129 was the second room can't remember the number of the first room
