I found two roaches in my room had to be replaced into a different room. After being replaced into that different room, there was a privacy issue with the curtains, not being able to close. I didn’t complain about it because I felt like roaches are a bigger issue. The area outside of the hotel had a lot of garbage laying around and there’s a lot of prostitution

The carpet in the room made the bottom of my feet turn black. The area is rough, and the hotel is just another rough old dirty element in the area.

I did not like how I was charged $100 security deposit that I still have not had returned to me even after checkout. They advised me that it should be put back on my card within 48 hours. I have never stayed in a dirtier or more unsafe hotel in my life
