The kiosk was interesting for a desk clerk. But there was no staff to make breakfast, so I asked if I could dig through the cabinets to get cereal or oatmeal. They said yes. The bedroom coffee machine had old water and bacteria in it. I didn't like this place.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was largely vacant, with several areas boarded up. The entrance had dirty floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and there was no attendant at the front desk; instead, a kiosk was available for assistance. Inside our room, we noticed a few hairballs on the floor, and the mirrors were dirty. When my daughter accidentally spilled her water bottle, I used a towel to dry the floor, but the towel turned black after wiping up the spill. It was clear that the room hadn’t been swept or mopped in months.

On the website it said for $76 a night and you guys charged me 100. I think that was a little outrageous for your property and your hotel stay. On the website is it Continental breakfast and we did not get that so we got ripped off.

Upon arrival, there was no staff present, nor did I see any staff the entire stay. A virtual agent appeared on a kiosk after about 15 of waiting. The room was filthy. Dirty sheets, smears of white stuff on the mirror and the bathroom was the worst. “Continental Breakfast “ was toast and dry cereal. 0/10 recommend
