This "Hotel" is in the middle of a homeless village with a group of them hanging out right outside out door. Broken tolite paper holder, towel rack, and the bedspread definitely was not clean. Thank goodness the manager gave us a refund for the nights we could no longer stay there.he seemed to understand we just did not feel safe there. Thankful for that.

Do not stay here, this place is terrible. Booked a king bed “suite” because I have a newborn that needs to be in the middle but was given a room with 2 beds. That won’t work with a baby. I asked the staff up front about it and they said that it was the only room they have left. Why would they let you book a certain room and then give you another room? Sounds like a scam to me. Room was also dirty, fridge didn’t work, the sheets had stains and holes. I asked Expedia for help with a refund and basically told me to kick rocks only half would be refunded. I paid and wasted money just to inspect a dirty room that wasn’t even my room to begin with. Thanks for nothing.
