Checked in on Christmas Eve the room was horrible. You can smell the mold as soon as you walk in the room. It was built up in the ceiling of the bathroom. Walked in the bedroom crumbs and dead roaches all on the bed skirt sheets and pillowcases full of stands. Asked for another room that room was the same went to another room it was a little better then the first two but still bad. The shower was full of mildew barely no towels the toilet was dirty. Try to sleep but all you hear is door slamming people outside of the room running in the hallway and talking loud on the phone and this went on all night so definitely didn’t get any sleep I checked out Christmas morning. This hotel needs to be closed down this was the worse experience I ever had.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The staff was great very nice but the room needs to be cleaned better, the bathroom still had old used towels still in the bathroom when I arrived, and of course the shower was not clean felt slimey had to purchase shower shoes, the bed sheets need to be washed better or purchase new sheets if the stains on the sheets can’t be removed. The floors were really dirty turn the bottom of my feet black and the curtains over the air conditioning needs to be change or taken down often because it looked like black mold growing on the ends of the curtains. If the room wasn’t so dirty I would have given 5 stars.

Front desk guy tried to charge me again after I already paid, we get to the room and the sheets are filthy. They are covered in stains and red liquids. The soaps were the smallest I’d ever seen. The drink cups were unwrapped and just sitting in the bathroom. I did not feel comfortable using them. All night there were kids running around, which appeared to belong to the staff.

The entire lobby smells like indian food. Air conditioner didnt work. Bed was springy, loose, and squeeky. Wouldnt provide extra bedding for the third guest we included on the reservation. They use the breakfast area as thier own personal kitchen and the lobby tv as their own personal living room. Argued with us over the air not working and didnt want to give us a different room. Whole tv screen was blue. Shower curtain did not even meet the rim of the bathtub. Not worth the price charged.

The room was dirty. The linoleum floors had something black that ruined my wife’s white socks. The white towels and wash rags had black in them. The whole building had a cigarette odor. We got two nasty towels and wash rags, no hand towels, no shampoo, one tiny bar of soap and the white shower floor was covered in a black stain. Nasty is the only way to describe this place.
