The staff I met upon arrival was very kind. However, the area surrounding the property made me feel unsafe. I didn’t end up spending the night because of this, but I could tell that they do their best with the property, all things considering.

The rooms are old and smell. The refrigerator didn’t work, The air didn’t work neither did the TV for the little time we were there. Upon check in the staff was extremely nice.. the next day I asked a lady if we could get brochures from the lobby since it’s always locked and she told me NO .. people were loud at all hours .. it seemed more like a hang out spot than a resting place but you get what you pay for..

There were pimps and prostitutes doing business out of the hotel the first night i arrived with my child. The hotel has homeless people living in the property and the parking lot has cars with broken windows and cars with boots on. If i could have gotten a refund i would have never checked in.
