I left this property at 3am because there was roaches on the shower curtain and the ceiling. Also bugs all throughout the bathrooms towels. Management was awful and did nothing to assist the situation.

Dirty

The walls were dirty. It looked like they had food splattered on them. They were also scuffed up all over.. With the first room we were assigned, it was so bad there was no way we were staying there. We asked for a refund and were given a second room. The second room also had the filth on the walls but it a lot less places. Our second room also had carpet instead of vinyl flooring. This at least gave us the illusion that the floor was clean. There were showers without a tub. in the bathrooms. The bathroom tile also looked very dirty.

This is definitely a budget hotel, however we found it wasn't worth the cost savings. The room was very dirty, we kept our shoes on the entire time. The tv was broken, which required the front desk to come in to repair (over an hour later from the time they said they would fix it). The walls were covered in filthy splatter marks, mold in the bathroom, thick layer of dust on everything. There was a fair carpet of hair all over the bathroom and shower, the personal little shower soaps had been used prior to us as the bottles were half gone. We can say the bed sheets and comforter were at least clean, as we black lighted that to check for grossness. The room was nonsmoking, yet the comforter was covered in prior old burn holes. But the most alarming part of our stay was when what I assume and hope was the cleaning staff trying to open our door WITHOUT knocking or saying a word. The door clicked open from a key card, but we had the safety metal door locker on at the top of the door and that prevented it from opening all the way. A word was never said after the door was then slammed shut. We were still in bed and we woke up to that. Was it a cleaning person? Was it someone else? There also was not a do not disturb sign in the room, we had to go down to the front desk to ask for one. After we had put it on our door when we left for dinner, we came back to the sign being taken off from our door and laying in the walkway. We didn't feel safe or good about leaving stuff there.

The bathroom was dirty and gross dirt and filth on the floors looked as if someone fought to get out of the bathroom as there was handprints up and down the door it was gross
Filth in corners and gloor
Handprints and dirty smears it’s like they never wipe them down

This property is extremely close to down town attractions. It’s about a 15 minute walk to the convention center and near a few eateries. The bus comes right in the front of this hotel. The staff were extremely helpful and presented me with an early check in. The facility was clean and there was always someone present cleaning. My linen wasn’t dirty my fridge, microwave, air conditioner, television worked just fine! I’d give it perfect ratings if the ice machine was working. People complained about a temporary shortage of hot water. The weather was 90 degrees and hot water was not a priority to me for the few hours that it wasn’t working before they had this issue repaired. I would stay at this space again. The area is not safe at night to walk around in and it has less to do with the hotel and more to do with the area of downtown not being safe to walk around. The hotel is near the fire station and this provides some deference of crime. WiFi was strong. I’d stay again. : )
