The beds were un comfortable. If you're short bring a step stool. And if you're elderly, i advise you to look elsewhere. Very hard to get into the beds. Couldn't get a handicap room, because we needed 2 beds and all the handicap rooms have 1 bed. Management was great as Expedia messed up our reservation.

All around TERRIBLE AND UNSAFE

Not only did our AC not work, but it smelled AWFUL. I think I am due a refund for the AC not working. The bathroom was filthy. And guests were drinking and smoking outside all night. And the poor girl at the front desk had a customer coming in with a knife. Severely unsafe. I am still baffled by this stay.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The rooms lack cleanliness. The hotel room / bathroom smelt of mold and urine. There are no amenities. The beds were small and very uncomfortable. There were strange stains throughout the walls and definitely could use some cleaning. The room did not look nor feel clean. I am pleased though that the house keeper nearby came with no hesitation to give our room another cleaning. Towels provided were extremely small meant more for a child. Our stay was 2 nights and 3 days and asked for room service which we did not get. Will not be coming back.
