RUN

Front desk was very nice and the pool was clean. Thats the only thing bice i can say about this room. The building smells like weed, cigarette smoke and different foods from people cooking, the hallways were sticky and the rooms look like a ton of landlord specials and half done work. The beds arent beds but metal springs, its outdated and looks nothing like the photos online for almost 1k for a week i expected way more. Do not stay here its just a bunch of rif raf.

The location is great. The rooms and furniture are old. It appears that they have long term undesirable people living there.

Not enough towels given for the amount of people in the room. When we asked for more we were told that they would have someone bring them up, but we never seen any. I had to buy wash rags and towels. Room was decently clean.

The rooms were great, and. Ed were comfortable. However the hallways and stairwells seems shady, dirty rugs, and outdated railings. The hotel lobby is also poorly maintained and feels like a motel. I was not expecting this at all. The room looked like the pictures but the other hotel grounds were just okay.

Stayed 1 night. Stained and worn sheets and towels, lights not working at the entrance to the room, sink was clogged, musty smell, curtains with holes, noisy air conditioner, walls, interior looked shabby, everything looked outdated and stale. I still wonder why they charged me almost $200 a night, will never stay there again.
