Easily the most disgusting place I’ve ever stayed in. We had to change rooms due to roaches, a backed up tub, and no hot water. Someone from the front desk called our room at 3:30 in the morning, looking for somebody.

I was in room 188 which was a suite and yes, it was clean but over the four nights I had three cockroaches visit. The adjoining room next-door on Friday night was spanking his partner and she was moaning loudly and this went on for about 30 minutes, which I actually quite found quite amusing with the finale was the head board hitting the wall furiously for the grand finally of the performance

This was by far the worst place I have ever stayed at. Infested with cockroaches, desperately in need or repairs, dirty rooms, lazy management, and shady public that would smoke weed and would not stop the noise through the night. Air conditioner worked, but then it was not hot days to begin with.

I believe it’s a shelter also. There were crackheads hanging near the entrance asking for cigarettes. I was locked out of my room after returning late; and no I didn’t have my key near my phone. The bathtub was rusted bad and the water pressure in the sink was very low. The early staff was great; females by the way. The men that worked late were real scared and fidgety which means the property is really not that safe if you operate through a glass window and act cold to the customers.
