No water pressure. Shower head was very old and disgusting. Told front desk I did not want service. Employee could not have cared less what I was saying. Sure enough came into my room while I was gone. Door would not open all the way-broke. Don’t book, this place is a dump.

“You get what you pay for” is definitely how’d I’d rate this hotel. I usually check the sheets before getting into our beds, but we were so tired we just kind of fell into bed. In the morning, I noticed blood on the sheets of the bed near the top, so it was next to my child’s face. She had no blood on her which tells me the sheets were bloody. I will never not check the sheets again. Also, breakfast, if you can even call it that, was disappointing. There was bread, frozen waffles, juice, and some prepackaged cinnamon rolls.

The room was very clean and didn't feel old like the rest of the hotel like the lobby and the elevators. The price was very affordable. The breakfast was slices of bread or frozen eggos that you could toast, or cold cereal. It was kind of pathetic. But we only stayed one night so for the money and the clean room, I think I would stay here again if I was in the area again.
