Disliked: Cleanliness
The room was filthy. Blood stains on the sides of both of the beds. Yellow and brown smears and stains on the walls near the vanity area and bathroom. Walls looked like they’d never been cleaned. Tub looked like it had never been cleaned. Comforter on bed was dusty and stained. Pillows seemed clean, but they were extremely cheap and uncomfortable. Tv worked but it was very small and old. Room was quiet. Parking was easy. The outside of the property looked nice, but the inside was rundown and not well maintained. I would not stay here again.

This property was my worth experience in staying at hotel. All furnitures were broken, we reserved room for three people and there were not even enough soap for one person. I complained to hotel manager and he said, they are going to renovate the place soon, but don’t understand why hotel terrible condition was not mentioned as part of listing.

I guess you get what you pay for. This facility was extremly run down. Rooms had paint chilling, AC was extremly loud, sheets had stains and hair on them, large gaps between the doors and Ac unit so you could see outside, no privacy curtains.

The blankets had holes because they were burnt, the lamps were broken, the deteriorated furniture had burnt marks of cigarettes. The trash bins around the property were overflowing. I was afraid the beds could be infested with bedbugs but apparently that didn’t happen.
