This is the absolute grossest place I’ve ever stayed! I had to ask for another room and it was just as bad. Dirty toilet. Trash and hair on floor! No cups and very little toilet paper. Drapes was falling off wall, men and women on front walk to lobby drinking and smoking! I deserve a refund and I’m calling the health department.

Not great.

Room had no toilet paper, no privacy signage for the door and nothing in the kitchen. When I went to ask for toilet paper I was handed a roll and told there was no privacy signage and I shouldn’t worry because housekeeping wouldn’t come by. I then went down and asked for an ice bucket and the location of the ice machine. They said there was no ice machine. I asked for ice cube trays. They said they didn’t have any. I asked if I could get a coffee maker or if they had coffee in the morning. They said they made coffee each day which was available from 6-9. There was only coffee one day between 6 and 6:15 when I left for work each day. Soi had to buy coffee and ice each day for work. Every day there was piles of sheets, bags of garbage and stacks of dirty plates in the hall to add to the ambiance. I also noticed the shower had a crack in the floor which appeared to be draining water (presumably into the ceiling or wall below me). I informed the front desk there was a hole in the shower and asked if they wanted to switch me to another room since I could see water seeping out. They said they made a note of it and maintenance would look after I left. The sheets were also super scratchy and blankets extremely thin. On the positive side, the room was clean but lacked the expected basics which they were always out of. So not a very pleasant stay overall.

Don't stay here

The pictures of the hotel on the site were deceptive. This was the most disgusting place I've ever stayed at. We had to leave early because of the filth and hotels.com refused to refund our money. Never using them again

I really felt it was in a safe and clean neighborhood. The rooms were not clean enough because the beds were made but the sheets were not clean because there was hair and spotting when my son pulled the sheets over. But they provided new sheets and pillow cases at the desk. I was happy they gave them to me, but was not happy I had to change them myself. The room was a little dusty, but I assumed maybe they hadn’t rented it out or maybe housekeeping simply didn’t do their job. Although they offered another room, at that point, prior to noticing the bed thing, we had already spread all of our stuff in the drawers fridge and closet. Because of time, and not wanting to work even more packing and moving to another room and unpacking again, we simply stayed in the room. I would recommend someone do a check before renting these rooms and make sure they are clean. Also, there was no extra toilet paper. The role they left was not enough for going two times to the restroom. I think they should at least have two standard toilet paper roles because again, we were inconvenienced to go downstairs and ask for more. Their breakfast was just pretty much coffee. Not an actual breakfast option. But other than that, the staff was polite, the location is safe. The restaurants around were great. There was saana cafe, piccorino

I am a long time guest at this location, and the reason I highly enjoy my stay here, is simply due to the staff that I have had the pleasure of interacting with during the entirety of my stay… Alvin has and continues to be more than welcoming and accommodating when it comes to any issues that may arise, more importantly… he is an all around pleasure to interact with and I can always rely on his help and support. Thank you so much for making my stay here such a wonderful experience, and the rest of the staff here go above and beyond expectations to ensure that my stay here is always positive and nothing short of incredible. Thank you guys so much for the hard work that you do day in and day out, it is highly appreciative and does not go unnoticed.

I wish I could give -5 stars. This “hotel” was disgusting. The room smelled like burned food, there was dirt on the front of the fridge, hair in the shower, dust up the wall, dirty/used dishes at the door, and the dead bolt looked like someone had busted through the door. The “better” room they moved us to still had hair in the shower, and the window couldn’t be locked. Breakfast was just prepackaged blueberry muffins and machine coffee. There was dirt and stains on the concrete at the entrance. There was dirty/used linens in the hallways. This was an absolutely awful location. We were supposed to stay for 4 nights. We checked out the following day because it was so gross and felt unsafe.

I reserved a room a month in advance for $50 extra charge to pay when I arrived. My plane was late and I didn’t check in in time. They gave my room away and charged me $133. I went next-door and never looked back.

Unpleasant experience

On the outside it looked good, just as the pictures on the website, but coming in was a whole different thing. The reception was dirty and trash around the floor. The room was run down. Had no smoke detecyor(seemed like someone pulled it out) the closet door was a curtain and the bathroom left a lot yo desire. The fink was greasy and the tub was in terrible condition
