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.

You get what you pay for, maybe less.
This wasa no frill place. Shower did not work, effort had to be done to close the door, a little worn down, and the location is a little inconvenient.

This place should be reported to the Health Department! We left immediately, it was beyond disgusting. Extremely filthy, bugs, stained walls, furniture, carpet....everything! The urine stained stairway was so strong my eyes were burning and I nearly vomited. This place should be raided and condemned!

This is a place that if you are driving in the middle of the night and need a place to crash with your hoodie tied tight and your pants tucked in your shoes. Sketchy

Horrible
I’m not from the area so I should have researched the area better, horrible place. If all my funds weren’t tied up from there I would have found a different place to stay while I was in town. We had to go get our own cleaning supplies to clean the place before taking our belongings in.

It was a run down dump. The carpet was dingy and sticky in spots. The walls had hole and spots where the paint was peeling. When I turned on the water, roaches came up out of the drain. And there was no bodywash in the shower. The bottle was long since empty.

Please never stay here!!!Code and card would not open my room door. We changed cards 3 times. Every time we came back to the room we had to go to the front desk to have them open it up for us. Water draining from the walls and under the bathroom sink. Shower looked like it was never cleaned. And all towels and wash cloths looked dirty. We will never stay there again. We tried to get another hotel but everything was booked due to many things going on around town. Pictures online are not what this place looks like.
