This hotel is not a place to take a family to for a stay. This place is geared toward a single traveler or like-minded travelers who are not picky about being around beat up furniture and dirty grout in the bathroom.
The room did fulfill my conditions: the three Ss-sleep, shower and shave. It was economical for my budget. It beats sleeping out in the cold.
Full of weed smell all over the building. Ripped carpets in elevator.
Mold in the bathroom. Holes in the bathroom wall. TV was flickering all the time.
Worst hotel I’ve ever been to. This hotel should be rebuilt.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
if you want somewhere to rest your head for one night while traveling somewhere else, this will get the job done. Otherwise... the sticker price kinda tells you all you need to know.
Some greatest hits of my stay include:
-literally EVERYWHERE smells like cigarettes
-staff was fine (didn't really experience the rudeness other reviews mention) but took like 10 minutes to check me in
-door took forever to recognize the key card and open
-toilet didn't flush properly
-the two lamps on either side of the bed are not plugged in and are also nowhere near any outlets. Were they just for decorative purpose?
-bar that holds shower curtain was falling off
-wifi did not work the entire time I was there
-when I went down for breakfast (5 minutes after the stated start time for breakfast) nothing was set up. There was an employee sitting in one of the booths on his phone who started to set things up when he saw I was standing at the entrance, but I was in a hurry so decided to just leave with no breakfast.
Everthing is broken and moldy. Peoples cars and rooms get broken into constantly. Parking loy has more holes than swiss cheese. Stay here cause its cheap but just know its a high crime ghetto hotel
Guy was very nice and with a big smile when check in- bad smell from the old rugs all over the place even in the elevator too, bath tub was broken and flush wasn’t working properly.. last thing about a lady at the counter was not helpful not even a smile on her face when checked out…
