No real bathroom door. It has a slide door that doesn't close properly or lock. It's pretty easy to hear every door in the place when they close.

The property is disorganized. I booked the rooms over one month in advance. When we arrived, the staff assigned us to a room the is already occupied by another guest. We were luck that the person did not meet us in the room, we would have to proof that we are not thieves and intruders or robbers. We could have been hurt if that person has a weapon or we could be explaining ourselves to the police. The staff at the hotel had no remorse or regret for the mess they created. We were told to go and look for another hotel after we flew about 7hrs for an event the following morning. Smoking was everywhere despite promise of a smoke free property. Worst hotel experience - The place should be black-listed.

Very subpar on cleanliness.

Our room had not been cleaned/vaccuumed in a long while nor had the hallway. The old linens were still piled in the room. This is an older hotel that could be revived to a nice hotel....but it needs some pretty big renovations and new cleaning crew!!! Carpet is old. Drapes are barely hanging. Breakfast was not so great and the front desk lady touched the foos without washing her hands after being at the desk. Shall i go on?

Absolutely horrible!!!

Upon arrival the front desk agent let me know that host hotels.com had actually overbooked the property. She then told me that there were no rooms available. I had already had my credit card charged and was not about to leave without a refund. She then lets me know that she found a room. However, the room hadn’t been cleaned. I was only on a shopping trip with some friends so we made due with it. The place is right next to a strip club and I’m fairly confident that at least some of the rooms are used hourly. This place is simply nasty, throughout.

Our hotel stay was horrible. The first room they gave us had a dead animal smell so they swapped us rooms. The next room the bathroom didnt have a light in and the clerk at the front desk told us we were out of luck unless we did it ourselves. There were homeless ppl coming in and taking food and who also kept bumming cigarettes off of us. There was other ppls dirty laundry underneath our bed so they obviously didnt fully clean our room. Very unhappy

Cheap place to stay.

It just wasn't a very clean nice place now the people that work there were very friendly and tried their best to be helpful they just seem to be out of clean towels blankets and things like that. The carpet was old and stained and definitely needed a good shampooing and vacuuming. The whole place had a bit of a musty smell to it.

Pure disappointment.

Upon checking in we got our cards and took the elevator to the third floor to room 309. The cards didn't work on the door. I left my boy friend in the hallway while I went to go get another card. I got another card and went back to the room and the new cards didn't work. I went down to the desk again and a worker followed me up to show me how to open the door with the card only the master card didn't even work. The worker went back downstairs and got new cards to a different room and we got in. The air conditioner barely worked. Cigarette burn holes in the comforter. Nothing was plugged in. And the coffee pot was filthy. The shield to the bathroom exhaust fan was tore down. I want a refund.

Find some other place! ANY OTHER PLACE!!!

We got into room 223 to find 2 towels, 1 washcloth and 1 handtowel for 2 people for 2 days. The carpet was dirty and old, no place to hang anything and there was small trash everywhere that wasn’t open space and easy to vacuum, there was patchwork in the bathroom and other issues and too top it off, no heat or air!. We got moved to 227 where it was only slightly better and we were afraid to shower due to smudges on the wall there. We opened the fridge that had so much ice build up in the freezer area that the door to it had no chance of closing and it caused the fridge door to be hard to close. My husband made the mistake of opening the microwave to find that something red had exploded inside (yes, it was on all 4 walls ans the ceiling as well as the floor) and quickly closed it. The heater worked, we found no evidence of bedbugs, and the white bedclothes were clean. We later went to a business basically across the street to find out that this hotel rents out by the week to drug pushers and other such people. Now you are probably wondering why we stayed! We arrived later in the evening and were tired and decided to stay till morning at which time we found a lovely place. My advice: don’t believe the pictures because they were taken 25 years ago and the filth has been there for at least 10! Sorry I don’t have pictures but I have a lovely 5 minute video!
