Very dirty, very disgusting mold smells of cigarettes many broken or missing items. So bad that even though I checked in at mid night I booked and left for another hotel getting there at 1am after a full day of travel. Should of gotten a full refund but didn’t even want to stay any longer than I had to.

The cigarette smoke was very strong in our room until 2am so it was coming in from another room somehow. There were questionable people around the front door asking for money. It was scary!

Terrible Room and Terrible Service

This "non-smoking" room smelled of cigarettes, including the pillows. No top sheet, no phone, no hot water, no soap or shampoo and a carpet that defies description. No view and no coffee pot in the room, no coffee in the foyer or anywhere nearby to purchase. A staff that was rude and scary. I was actually threatened when I asked for assistance with the television.
