Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The pictures are extremely misleading. The worst hotel I ever stayed in. One of the blankets had a whole in it. There was a face towel left on the shower curtain rod. It smelled like smoke. The floors were peeling. The walls were damaged. I wouldn’t even invite someone to come see me and sit in the parking lot. I kept checking my vehicle to make sure it was damaged because of the other guests. It looks like a place you go to have shady dealings. Not judging but looked like it was full of crackheads and prostitutes

The price was very good and the bed linen was clean and comfortable. Unfortunately, the room and facilities were quite worn and several things were broken (sink, fridge, bathtub running, cracked toilet, damaged floor). It worked for one night, but overall not a place we would choose again.
