They moved me to another hotel before I got to this hotel and the other one was dirty and very nasty it has a lot of roaches infested and dirty bed sheets I asked to move and they moved me to a smokers room with blood on the walls I left and paid for a different room it was too terrible.
This place is a complete scam. The photos online are a joke compared to what you actually get. The area is filthy, loud, and feels genuinely dangerous. You will not feel safe here for a single minute, let alone trying to sleep through the night. Do yourself a favor and stay far, far away from this dump.
Mold and writing on the wall was in my first room , it was so gross , cigarettes and batteries under the bed. I asked to be moved. Got moved to a “upgraded” one which was just how a normal hotel room should be. With the exception of the shower looking like a horror movie. And every other room looked destroyed.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff upgraded our room to the newer section free. Was clean and comfortable.
You get what you pay for. Cheapest in the area, and some smells of smoke in a non-smoking room. Upgrading doesn't improve much & doesn't get rid of the bug problem, so better to stick with the lower cost. Lobby was stuffy & hot, so it wasn't a great place to hang out. Computers were slow to boot & terrible for browsing the web, so better to have your own.
Place look really good after years of not being renovated l! Although I made a reservation for myself and my husband, I selected one guest and had to pay an additional $12 at check in which seemed a little extreme. They lady at the front desk was kind though and had exceptional customer service.
I was charged for a bed when I booked a queen room with two beds and was only given one bed and when I asked for the proper accommodation I was charged extra
Front desk will proposition you with a better rate in exchange for a good review, then lie and say you already are after you held up your end.
Every towel you receive will have a long hair on it.
Dont expect any actual cleaning.
Your AC unit will likely not have an appropriate outlet for use.
Check in and out are according to Eastern Standard. Instead of the zone they are in, Central standard, and post nothing about this major difference other than the 1 clock in the lobby.
This was the most disgusting most false advertised hotel I have ever stayed at.! It had the worst smell so very pungent it burns. Your nose sheets was very dirty along with the walls & flooring. My room door looked as if it had been broken into previously the door did not close properly. This hotel should be SHUT DOWN
