I could not stay there and cancelled my reservation after the first room didn't have a functional door lock, then upon walking to the 2nd room which they switched me to, the entire floor reeked of marijuana and the entire facility was extremely unkempt and filthy and was in dire need of intense maintenance throughout.

Biggest dump I’ve ever seen
The place was the biggest dump I’ve ever seen. The pictures on Hotels.com don’t even match with the rooms. Complete false advertisement to the point that I didn’t even stay there and went and booked another hotel

Keep going
This places needs fumigated, new carpet,new bedding and a new cleaner. Beds weren’t properly made and the general location feels very unsafe. When I ask the clerk if the area was safe I was told “we make it safe” like they put special work into making sure your car didn’t get broken into. I never got my money back for the room-I was in it less than 5 minutes-but that’s okay. It was worth a loss to learn never to reside here again. The staff were friendly though not very professionally dressed.

Pay the extra $ and stay at an alternative. We’re not picky by any means and stay at inexpensive hotels frequently, but this was just so gross. Very outdated, the beds are old, uncomfortable and I’m pretty sure our bedding wasn’t washed either. The lady working was sweet, not the owner, so I don’t blame her for the horrendous condition of the property. However, whoever owns the place needs to be ashamed. I honestly didn’t know places like this still existed.

Disgusting!
Worst place I have ever stayed. Cigarette burns on the sink. Carpets were disgusting, stained, not vacuumed. Homeless people outside the doors as we went to check in. The entire building smelled like cigarette smoke. The a/c unit had towels/shirts shoved in it. Room was not cleaned!! I had cleaning wipes and cleaned the bathroom myself. Seriously, if you're ok with drug addicts & homeless people then you'll be fine here. App is not letting me add pictures.

I’m a little disappointed in the room. It doesn’t look anything like the photos on Travelocity, and the wi-if isn’t very strong. The deadbolt also doesn’t lock.
