Worst place i have ever seen! I have no idea how it is still listed on expedia. Checked in and immediately checked right back out. Blood on the sheets, filthy clothes everywhere room was not clean, dirt in the floor, roaches. Outside the room there was dirty clothes panties bra’s, trash, beer cans. Looks like homeless are living on the stairs and people actually living in the rooms. Requested a refund and have not heard anything yet. I would not recomment anyone to stay here it was god awful. Was only there 10 minutes..

The cigarette smoke was very strong in our room until 2am so it was coming in from another room somehow. There were questionable people around the front door asking for money. It was scary!

Very dirty, very disgusting mold smells of cigarettes many broken or missing items. So bad that even though I checked in at mid night I booked and left for another hotel getting there at 1am after a full day of travel. Should of gotten a full refund but didn’t even want to stay any longer than I had to.

So on my way up to Indiana i stayed here and really enjoyed, yes it was dirty..not in the best part of town but for the price i could handle it so on the way back i stayed again..total different experience..people that live there started asking for cigarettes, money and to use my phone, im disabled didn't want any trouble so i played nice. ..the evening before i was scheduled to leave as i was packing my car..a group of four guys came out and yelled hes leaving, 3 more guys came out and surrounded my car..i knew i was in trouble..i ran(as best as i can run) to the office..they wouldn't let me in until i said i would call 911, they let me in, walked with me to my room, the guys were still around my car..as i got a few more of my items the employee was laughing with the guys, so i left things that i could replace, got in my car and left, the next day i got a phone call from the owner he stated that if i wasnt back to pick my stuff up that they would give it away and charge me for another day..i was still shaking So no i didn't go back and got charged for another day..remember i said i let one guy use my phone..I still get calls( i guess they saved my #.. ) PLEASE BEWARE!!
