Great location if you’re attending any events at the expo center. The room wasn’t the cleanest but I went in thinking it was going to be much worse based on other reviews. No problem checking in/out. Saved a ton of money by staying here as there were many events going on and lots of other hotels had much higher rates and rooms sold out. Wasnt the worst place I’ve ever stayed.

Smoke detector was dangling from the ceiling, wires were coming out from the wall, paint peeling everywhere, chunk missing from the floor, leak from the ceiling in the bathroom, and the sink was completely clogged with random red substances coming up from the drain. Pretty gross and unsanitary feeling place overall, but it was a bed to sleep in I guess

We saw used condoms and drug needles on the ground near the stairs. Used bars of soap still in shower. No refrigerator in our room which was no good as we had refrigerated medicine that we needed to keep cold. When we needed additional toilet paper we were not able to get it as there was no response. We will not be staying at this location again.
