Find a DIFFERENT Hotel

It was a hotel in disrepair, in escrow, and I believe the check in crew knew that and passed off most complaints or concerns. Room key did NOT work on multiple occasions. The check in agent told me he would finally after 2 or 3 strikes, show me how to open the door. MY 2 keys did NOT work, his Master Key also did NOT work. He said he would upgrade me to a better room, which was really just a different floor. We got upgraded to the 3rd Floor, Not a better room, just a higher floor. Of course there was NO working elevator.

Horrible experience

My stay was horrible! The curtains had fresh blood on them, there was what appeared to be powdered drugs on my desk as soon as I walked in the room, and the floors were dirty. No pool, no elevator, and one ice machine on the 3rd floor surrounded by transients charging their phones.

I did not stay. Looked like a drug house with duct tape on some windows and dust in backs of computers and finger prints on mirrors. Homeless people walking around outside, looked like an abandon parking lot with broken down cars

Located in a seedy part of town. Was afrraid to go outside. Was nervous that car would be damaged. Noisy. Guests in upstairs room arrived around 3am and talked very loudly and stomped around the room for about 45 minutes. Refrigerator in room did not work. Floor was coming apart. Not very clean. Bugs in the room. Would not recommend.
