This is like a halfway house for unhoused that the state pays to stay here. Drug deals going down in the hallways, staff actually had a ankle monitor with a bandana to cover it. Forget the breakfast, 2 tables and sketchy items. Coffee and go. Will definitely not stay there again

The pictures online did not match the condition of the hotel. The neighborhood was sketchy. The desk staff was very jolly and nice. The carpet on the stairs were filthy and the lobby and outside smelled like weed. Surprisingly the room was comfortable. The bed was good. However it could have been cleaned better. There were limited items at breakfast.

I should have read reviews. We couldn’t get past the front door. It looks like this is truly a half way house. People are literally living here. Homeless and seedy looking people hanging outside the main entrance. We don’t even check in because it was truly gross.

The man checking us in was nice but this was by far the dirtiest place I have stayed in my life! The pictures are either photo shopped or taken somewhere else. Also, I think I smoked more marijuana that was outside my window with the people hanging outside my window talking all night! This place should be closed down!

Do not book here. Pictures are misleading. Room was not clean. Window had a board holding it. Unsafe with all the druggies around. He couldn't get any keys to work so he had to use the master key only. Never ended up staying there. Holiday Inn was wayyyy better!!!

The hotel looked nothing like the pics. It was very dirty with holes and stains on carpet. The worst of all— the stained sheets and linens. I was stuck bc I had a dog and no other options for hotels or I’d have left.

We reserved a king bed with a hot tub in the room but we didn’t get that. The bathroom and walls were stained and gross. The pictures of the website didn’t look anything like the actual hotel. I was really disappointed.

ChatGPT said: Breakfast is pretty light, but there are some great spots nearby that open early and serve an awesome breakfast. The best part though—those beds and pillows are insanely comfortable. I honestly felt like asking where they get them :) Bottom line: For the price, this place is a great deal. Perfect if you’re not planning to hang around all day and just need a super comfy spot to crash for the night. That’s exactly what we were looking for, and this hotel totally delivered.
