Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Property is in a convenient area, easily accessible. The condition of the rooms is very poor. The furniture, sheets and towels were all stained. The toilet seat was damaged and the shower handle was very loose, so it took a lot of time to calibrate the temperature of the shower. The room was over all depressing to be in.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff were nice but the room was filthy. Stains and scum all over the grimy tub, old towels from previous guest hanging on the bar, dust all over the tv stand. Not only is the property in need of major renovations, the staff and or owners certainly don’t care about cleanliness. Tv also didn’t work

Shady
The beds are stiff. The box springs have animal hair all over them. The shower does push out hot water it’s like warm. The housekeeping and front desk don’t communicate because if they did they wouldn’t have banged on our door three times to clean our room after telling them no thank you. Seemed like they really wanted to get us out of our room so they could come in and snoop. This place is shady and there’s always sirens and cops out. Never again.
