Disliked: Staff & service
When we arrived, we noticed one of the bed frames was broken and we were quickly accommodate without a hassle. I did find it odd that most of the lights were not on for most of the night. The property was mostly lit by street lights. What I did not like was witnessing the front desk clerk racially profile a gentleman asking for a room. I witnessed the clerk blatantly lie about having no vacancy. Many curtains were open and obvious that no one is in there.

DO NOT STAY

Pay the extra 20 bucks to stay a few blocks down the street. I’ve bargained some hotels in my time, let me tell you this is the absolute dirtiest, stinkiest, and worst hotel I’ve seen. Mice running around the halls, mold in the shower, terrible AC. Take my word, wouldn’t be worth it to stay for free.

DO NOT STAY HERE, SCAM

Stayed 30 min. They require a deposit in cash and if you say no they don't let you stay there and no refund. They tell you to use their ATM, which charges a fee and for all I know steals your card information. Cockroaches, black mold, walls disintegrated behind the wallpaper, stains everywhere, chairs were sticky, door had gaps around it, the pictures posted on this site do not match the room in the slightest. Holes in the walls. They check the room before you leave and charge you for everything, hence why they never fix anything. Room smelled like someone was cooking chemicals in it combined with urine. Front desk lady didn't understand what was wrong with the room and said she couldn't do a refund because there was "nothing she could do" and I demanded my deposit back and she gave it back thank God. Do not waste your money here. This is a health department nightmare, a police department nightmare, and just a general nightmare.

Interestingly average

No food, which is ok, plenty of options within 5 minutes. Fit and finish was all over the place. Several upgrades like flooring, tub/shower, good water pressure and bed was clean and comfy. The rest was meh. Cockroaches. And, $100 cash deposit, they will check your room as you check out before giving it back.

My first room I was given, the bathroom was disgusting. The shower didn't even have a faucet. The inside of the shower was falling apart. I would love to attach some photos. That being said, The mint shift front desk worker gave me a much better room! He apologized and i really appreciated that.
