This location needs to be tore down. The rungs on the railing are broke off. There are big chunks of cement broken off the stairs and the second floor walk way arounf the building. The grounds are very dirty with trash all over. I would rather sleep on the groind instead of those beds.

Don't stay. Be advised.

Saw bugs crawling in room, multiple times and different kinds throughout the evening and night. Talked to the desk person and was offered to extend my stay but decided I needed to just leave. Also the toilet and sink were broke and leaking.

NEVER STAY IN THIS DUMP

The room smelled terrible, no amount of air freshener can help with it. The bathroom door had what appeared to have a bullet hole that had half way been repaired. The door had been kicked in at some point the deadbolt was loose. There was something on the wall that was I'm assuming was blood or god knows what. The curtain had been destroyed by a cat. I booked a queen bed and it was a full and the bed was not comfortable at all. The environment was something out of an episode of 48hrs and we didn't even stay the night and drove 2 hrs home. I refused to get assaulted, robbed or shot to stay there. The entire property is run down and looks awful. The paint is pealing off the doors and the property is very run down. We left and checked out and after supper and the owner refused to refund out money and there was no other rooms.

Single shower barely big enough for one person it was not clean! Hade used bar of soap still on ledge. Toilet was super rusty not clean at all. Urine around toilet. Sink was moldy not clean at all. Water spots on mirror. Hole in drywall above the sink. Tables were not wiped off floor was discussing. I don't think anything was clean before our check in. Bed was made that was about it
