Pictures and description on the internet totally misrepresenting.. We travel pretty extensively and this was one of the biggest disappointments we've had.. not very clean, amenities were at the minimum..not very well maintained.."see pictures" sketchy part of town with a lot of stragglers.. we won't be visiting here again.. The staff was awesome and totally took care of everything that they could for us.. but the complex left us feeling unsafe and dissatisfied..

Don’t stay here.

Whole place reeks of cigarette smoke, inspite of signs saying no smoking. Littered in and out with cigarette butts. The room was dirty, mystery white substance on the headboard and brown stained sheets. The water pressure in the shower was basically a trickle. We opted to leave at 3am the day after we checked in because it smelled so bad it was making me sick to my stomach. My advice, pay a little more and stay anywhere else.

Our room was not ready well after 10:30PM. I could not check in and I was told I couldn’t check in because there weren’t any keys to check us in. The supervisor had not provided the night staff with the proper materials to check in guest. Furthermore this hotel did not have any kind of elevator so if you have a lot of luggage or ADA disabilities, they are not within a coordinates of the ADA. The lobby smelled terrible and I had to call Expedia to get a refund and wait for them to contact the front desk And wait on the approval before I could leave. Meanwhile, there were people in the parking lot talking to things that didn’t exist although mental health is important , this was a problem for the safety of the guest and the police probably should have been involved. We did not feel safe at this establishment and we didn’t even get to the point where we could check into our room well after 10:30 at night. The hotel agreed to a refund however it will not show up for 10 to 14 days . This property looks nothing in real life like it does on the website although I booked from my phone quickly I expected the purchase to look exactly as the intent was released to the public. This place is merely false advertising. The owner / supervisor wasn’t even near the establishment and the staff member at the front desk did not have what they needed to take care of the guest.

I stay at a lot of hotels and this was far and away the worst one I’ve ever been to. The pictures need to be updated - hotel no longer looks like them. It’s run down, dirty and the staff pretended they didn’t notice. They offered to move me to a new room which was somehow worse than the first. 0/10 recommend. Awful.

Not the greatest

Convenient location as it was close to the arena in which we were attending a concert for. The smell of marijuana was very very harsh in the lobby along with the rest of the public space in the hotel. The sheets were clean however the comforters were stained with what appeared to be an oil type of substance. The floor was not swept but could be overlooked. The surfaces were wiped down and semi clean. Would not stay again but for a one night stay it was an ok experience.
