This is by far the most dirty hotel I have ever seen or been in. Smelled like cigarette smoke. Cigarette burn holes in the blankets. Ice machine was broken. Back door of the hotel did not lock, very sketchy area. Felt unsafe. Felt unclean the entire stay. 0 out of 10, would not recommend.

This place is absolutely disgusting and my family refused to sleep there! There were cigarette burns on both beds/comforters, cobwebs, blood on blankets, and clearly hadn’t been cleaned in no telling how long! This place would be the spot if you were looking for a place to take a hooker!!

Safety

concerned about safety, the rear motel entrance door,where we parked,was always unlocked. Usually 2-6 guys were hanging out in the rear parking lot. Maybe they were on break? But uncomfortable walking into building.

Easy to access to various restaurants and shops on foot. Hotel room stinks and filthy, so I had to spray two bottles of deodorants. My door lock opens even without a card key, so I had to carry my note book in my sack bag whenever I step out of the room.

Chose this hotel based on price alone -- site said "recently remodeled rooms" and that was true. Unfortunately workmanship was shoddy -- bad paint, stains, grout with a curious pink shade, toilet seat peeling apart, bare wire hanging from ceiling (fire detector missing?) and la cucarachas. In the hallways, nasty carpet and rooms curiously blocked open and banging late into the night. In short -- I would not recommend staying here.
