Smoke marinated room
I checked in and was told they gave away my nonsmoking room to someone else, and that all they had was a smoking room. I asked if I could get a refund since I didn’t book for a smoking room and was refused the refund. I was like, if I am going to be charged anyways might as well take the smoking room and not make a scene. I had the worst night in the room where the cigarettes smell must have infiltrated the room’s quantum physics dimension because everything that touched the bed smelled like cigarettes-my body/hair/bookbag/clothes. My childhood asthma acted up and I don’t know how I didn’t die because I really wanted to, in this cigarette marinated room. Never again. Even after opening the window, fanning out the room with the door and blasting the AC on high. Nothing seemed to help this poor room.

Bedore entering there was a large spider hanging right in front of our door with a huge web that appeared to be pretty old. I Requested a non smoking room upon entry the room had an almost chlorine smell to it. The floors were damaged and every piece of linen had a burn hole in it. The bathroom ceiling also appeared to have black mold. I checked out in less than 30mins of walking into the room i wouldnt recommend this place to anyone!
