Stay away

This was easily the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The building was disgusting. All of it. elevator making huge noises and stopping mid way going up. People hanging around with doors open. Smells awful. I literally left and got a different hotel that night.

ZERO stars if if could! DO NOT believe the pictures! It’s severely run down, carpets are properly original to the place and don’t look like they have ever been cleaned. The whole place smells like stale cigarettes, even with a non-smoking room. Mold, dirt, grime on so many areas of the room, looks like they just pulled the bed linens up and didn’t put new sheets on it. He put us in the back on the 1st floor - we immediately turned around when we saw the room condition and there was a drug dealing going on. NO THANK YOU! We immediately turned in the keys, didn’t even get our bags in the room, he refused a refund… We went and stayed right down the street at a nice, well lit, very clean hotel. Where you wouldn’t be afraid of catching some disease or bacteria just from looking at it.

The smoke-free room still smelled like cigarettes. The toilet was not bolted to the floor. It was otherwise fine for a night stay.

It was close to an event I was attending and it was quiet for the most part. I did have someone knock on the door in the middle of the night but I’m sure it was kids just playing around. It was a good place to relax.

Check-in experience was fine even the lobby is absolutely filthy. Our sheets had cigarette burn holes in them when we got in the room. We asked for new sheets and the guy working acted like they were fine. He gave us new ones, also had cigarette burn holes in them. I had to buy my own blankets which i think is sad. I tried calling the following morning for new towels and the front desk guy kept hanging up on me. I eventually got some news ones after flagging a housekeeper down around noon, glad i wasnt in a hurry to go anywhere. The breakfast was a joke. Cereal and waffles in a REFRIGERATOR, so they were soggy. I understand now why this hotel requires payment up front. Not worth a single penny.
