Please make it known $20 cash deposits are due before customers arrive. No one likes being inconvenienced. The hallways smell. That carpet needs to be pulled up. Mattress was flat on 1 side, needs to be flipped. It's old. Everything is old & run down.. AND THEY DID IN FACT, NOT LEAVE THE LIGHT ON FOR ME!

The service was horrible. The young lady who checked us in gave us the wrong type of rooms (smoking instead of non-smoking). The shower had no shower curtain… I found a bed bug on the bed!!!!! They also didn’t tell us a check in that the elevator was out!!!!!

We were on the second floor and had to use the fire stairwell because the elevator was not working. The halls and room stunk. The staff was the only good thing about this place. We didnt sleep well because if you moved on the bed you felt like it would fall apart. We slipped and slided in the shower.
