It is in a really unsafe area of town, which is why it (and other places around) are gated. It makes it a little inconvenient going in and out. Our first room (smoke free) REEKED of smoke. Since I'm allergic, I asked for another room. It also smelled of smoke, but not as bad. We went to the store and bought some spray, but it didn't help. I coughed all night long, and couldn't sleep. The TV remote didn't work, we had trouble logging onto internet. The guy at the front desk was very helpful, but it was aggravating to spend an hour trying to get things going. Also, the ice machines don't work, and apparently haven't for years. Overall, it had a dirty appearance (probably because of the smell) but I couldn't really see anything dirty. However, the sheets and bedspreads had multiple cigarette burns in them. The breakfast was ok, but not over abundant. I would never stay there again, especially for that price! (BTW, I usually try to give something positive, but couldn't find much here).
