STAY AWAY!! THIS PLACE IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST HOTEL I HAVE EVER STAYED AT. I ACCIDENTALLY GOT A SMOKING ROOM AND THEY WOULD NOT CHANGE IT UNLESS I PAID 55 bucks extra per night even though they had room. This place should be shut down, nothing worked in the room that was disgusting. I have a video, will try to post. STAY AWAY!!!!!

If I could rate this place a negative 10 I would. Dirty, cracked sink, cracked toilet, duck tape holding broken window together, non working blow dryer. When checked in was told tv service was out. I now see that this has been the case for months! Do not stay here! Pictures on line show a simple but ok place. They are a lie! I only booked here because everything else in the area was booked. We actually considered sleeping in the car! I went to Walmart and bought garbage bags and lined the bed and pillows in plastic and refused to sleep under the covers. It also wasn’t inexpensive. AVOiD, AVOiD, AVOiD. PS I also noticed that the outside elevator hasn’t been inspected since 2023 according to the certificate. Should be shut down!

The hotel condition is horrible. Cigarette burns all over the bathtub, burns on bedding. Wet and sticky dirty carpet. Covered up holes in bathroom door, and sink counter had parts broken out. The front of the hotel had massive chunks of concrete that were missing with exposed rebar. Surprised this place is not condemned. It is pretty rough.

I give it 3 stars barely

The room was clean. But the tv did not work. The coffee was only set up for one person but there was two beds and four of us. The breakfast was not that great either. No gluten free options for my daughter. The checkin was pleasant but that was about it.

Horrible

The building is disintegrating, the ceiling is falling down, walls crumbing, dirty bathtub, door knob and lock were loose. This place should be torn down. We walked in and booked another hotel after seeing how horrible this place was.
