AVOID AT ALL COSTS
Terrible place. Night clerk seemed barely verbal. We had requested a ground floor room. He seemed confused by this. Put us on the second floor without comment. Public spaces and the room itself were run down and dirty. Old food wrappers and other trash on the stairs. It's likely that the room had not been cleaned after the last guest. The bed linen had not been changed. The toilet had been used but not flushed. Floors were dirty. The prior guest's phone charger was still plugged into the bathroom outlet. The TV didn't work. The AC unit sounded like a garbage grinder. Worst hotel ever.

Smelled like smelly bad feet
The moment I stepped into the room it smelled like old, sweaty feet… Like they cleaned the room in their socks and got wet and it smelled or they didn’t clean with good supplies and it was just very poorly done. I had to take a shower and I was gagging the whole time.

For your money, I'd rather spend an extra $20 and go to one of the other nearby properties for peace of mind. Property is outdated and poorly upkept, poor plastering and tiling in the bathroom, barely enough towels, toilet paper holder was rusting. No actual safety incidents around/on the property but definitely did not FEEL safe.

Nasty
Gross. Spiderwebs, dirty, hair left behind, lumpy pillows, uncomfortable beds, and truly nasty. Our room looked out to the overflowing dumpster and our room felt like a dumpster.

The building is run down, things need to be fixed. An added charge of $50 was added on when checking in. And late at night, 11:39 to be exact, an employee of the hotel was talking loudly in the hallway right beside our door, I had to knock on the door to let her know to be quiet. I am not happy about this situation.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Beds were fine and staff was cordial. Some towels were markedly dirty. Sheets felt clean, but comforter kind of didn’t. Shower and supplies were fine, but toilet barely flushed (with repeated use of a plunger—already supplied… so they probably knew about the issue). TVs had cable and worked, but stopped connecting to the internet about twenty minutes after we got there. Vending machines were limited but cheap-ish. We came, we slept… we paid very little. So, it was about what I expected.
