I got a room for 2 nights. The AC sounded like a freight train and I wasn’t able to sleep, the cupboard doors in the “kitchen” were coming off and the toilet need a good scrub. I asked for a different room for the second night. The sink wouldn’t drain, again, the toilet could have been cleaner and there was a dead cockroach in the tub, but the AC was quiet. The breakfast bar is mostly Ok—a bit spare and the eggs are an abomination. The bathroom by the breakfast room was not clean and poorly maintained.

Horrible Experience – Do Not Stay Here! This was by far one of the worst places I’ve ever stayed. Everything in the room was filthy—the bathroom, the sheets, the coffee machine, the floor—literally everything was super dirty. The pictures online are completely misleading; this is not a hotel, it’s a rundown motel. To make matters worse, the entire room smelled strongly of weed from the moment we stepped in and lasted the entire night. It was unbearable. This is the second terrible experience I’ve had booking with Expedia, and I feel like my money was completely wasted. I would never stay here again or recommend it to anyone. Avoid this place at all costs!
