Major leaks in the ceiling, bugs, horrible smells, dirty floors, beds, and bathrooms with poop stains, graffiti on the walls, holes in the walls, light not working, or flickering. This place should be condemned by the health department.

Room was dirty, and there were bugs in the room. We are not very picky about about rooms being mismatched or not fancy, but this was dirty and the door lock did not properly work, etc. We ended up finding elsewhere to stay it was so bad.

Broken TV, not on a stand just leaning against the wall. Hole in the bathroom wall and charged a $100 deposit. You get what you pay for.

Absolutely crap hole!!! Doesnt look anyting like the pictures. They want $100 security deposit for what is beyond me. No soap, no toiket paper, no tissues. Room is run down. Tv hanging off the wall with a big gash in it and didn't even work. Bags of trash ripped open outside the door. Ice covered by the exits. If you go out you can't come back in you have to walk around the whole place to get to the front. Wouldn't return our money because we wanted to leave because it wasnt like what was online and not safe. Could hear the person in there room. I think people lived there. wanted to leave because we didnt feel safe.

Not sure how this hotel has 10 stars for reviews online. Mold on the ceiling, tv didn’t work very well, sink counter was cracked. Bed and sheets were clean at least. Other guests were quite.
