The front desk person was nice but the property was scary. The room was gross and smelled of stale cigarettes. There was some shady characters staying and wandering around so we chose to vacate and stay somewhere else safer.

Drug dealers on site

Drug dealers +hookers in room 227 the worst day I’ve ever had in a hotel and I’m a platinum member with Hotels.com. The Front Desk girl did her best to try to bring down the noise in the property, but constant fights. People knocking on my door by mistake as they were clearly Seling drugs, and hookers next-door. I was not able to get any sleep and it was pretty late. Check out, but I left early. Don’t waste your money in this property. It’s pretty scary.

I made the mistake of not changing the number of people for the booking and when I went to the front desk to ask for more toilet paper & towels I was told they couldn’t give any due to the booking being for only 1 person. I would not stay here again
