Unfortunately this hotel seemed to have a lot of unsettled guest. Loud noises people up and out at all hrs. Guest revving bikes in the parking lot. Seemed to have guest that were possibly selling drugs or other substances. I don’t feel comfortable leaving my car in the parking lot. Unfortunately I couldn’t get a refund upon arrival so I had no choice but to stay. I barely got any sleep but I made it through the night.

Disliked: Amenities
Extremely basic room. It did not have a microwave or a coffee machine and no coffee was available in the lobby. The room also did not have hangers to hang up my clothes and when I asked for some at the front desk, I was told that they didn’t have any. The water in the shower was hot but very low pressure but the sink had no hot water. The bed was comfortable and the a/c worked fine.

Room is pretty Dirty,towels have lipstick,TV don’t work,room smells and dirty.They have a sign in the lobby that if you give them 5 star review then they give you $5 off per room so I think that’s why they have good reviews and stars.

We weren’t expecting anything five star, we just needed a clean place to sleep and shower as we planned to be out most of the days. After having an issue at check in, we contacted Expedia and they resolved the issue. Once we got to the room we couldn’t believe how poor condition it was in, cracked toilet, graffiti everywhere, the smoke detector was on the dresser. The bathroom had a used soap bar. Loud music playing until 3am. On the day before check out, we noticed the curtains had been opened when we got back, when we entered our room we found all of our belongings gone. I went to the service desk and the receptionist said she “thought” we had checked out since we left the hotel early that morning even though we were to check out the next day at 11:00am. We did get most of out belongings back but it was such a bad experience. If you want to stay at a run down, dirty, and want no sleep this is definitely the place to stay.

It started with their was no rooms available since I reserved a room that Friday morning. I got a room that wasn’t part of my reservation. So the night staff, he give me a room with 2 beds. The next day a lady took over and told me that if I wanted to stay in that room with 2 beds that I have to pay extra or take all my stuff out of the room and wait 2 hours to get my room that I reserved. I took the 2 hours and when I got back to the hotel I was informed that I had to pay an extra $31 yes my total was almost $172 but it’s not my fault that the night stuff messed up. I end up paying the remaining balance and continue my stay
