Photos of this property are deceiving. This hotel is in desperate need of renovation. Our room was dirty. There were pubic hairs in the tub. Hair was all over the sheets of the beds and the carpet was dirty. The worst Comfort Inn we’ve ever stayed in!

Rats in the Garden out front
When we arrived, there were many people hanging out in the parking lot lingering. On the first night when we returned from dinner, three large rats ran down the sidewalk in front of the main entrance into the bushes in the garden, and it appeared there were more! The next morning, we decided to check out early and one of the large rats was dead in the flower bed right outside the front entrance.

This hotel is in a prime location - there are lots to do around it; plenty of restaurants, stores, etc. The hotel itself is very old and outdated. The room I stayed in had the bathroom door bubbling due to moisture and goodness grief, they stuck me in a room next to the gym! I would've asked for a different room but the person that helped check me in was so unpleasant, I didn't even bother. The bathroom is small, like only room for one person to be in because the door closes so close to the toilet. You can see rust at every corner of the bathroom. The faucets are so old. The carpet is dark and the room looks like a dreary museum. The bed springs are horrendous. You can feel it and as soon as you move, you hear everything. They advertise they have a pool but the pool is in the basement. You have to go down a dark alley to get to it, which is scary as a woman. The pool is enclosed so you feel suffocated. The pool is nothing to fawn over. It is severely old, too. This hotel says it offers breakfast but it's to take and go. There is no sit down option. You get things like a muffin and a banana to go. The front desk has zero personality. They don't say hi, they don't look up when speaking with you, and they mumble under their breath. If you're looking for just a one night stay, then this will be fine. But if you're wanting a more relaxed feeling, then skip this hotel.

Worst stay ever!
When we checked in at 4pm we found out that the pool was not heated and was probably cold. I went to see for myself and found the pool locked at 4pm when it was supposed to be unlocked at noon. Useless! The heater in our room was very loud and the TV channels kept going in and out. Overall, a terrible stay.
