The biggest scam in the city. There was a lot of mystery stains all over the walls, lipstick on the rod to open the curtains, pieces of hair found when untucking the bed sheets on the first day. Not even the furniture was wiped down, it seriously looked like all they did was make the bed and wipe down the restroom sink faucet. When I used the restroom, I noticed the toilet paper was stamped and thought it was to make it look fancy… until I realized it was reused toilet paper from the stay before and there was indeed a poop stain in the side of it. Then to try and relax and turn on the tv, the most recent searches were “sex” and so many other inappropriate things. To top it off, every time I left the hotel, there was homeless people just chilling on the stairs playing music until 2 in the morning. Just spend the extra money if you want safety and cleanliness. I only lasted a day. That place definitely made me a germaphobe.

The rooms were very nice and clean. I liked how cool it looked inside like homie. The only thing is the view of the homeless outside but besides that it was nice. They had lots of tv channel options. Will stay here every time i come visit from now on.

Checked in late, my key did not worked. Room front door frame broken, looked like it was kicked in and couldn't latch and secure my door. Homeless camp right next to my window. I had reserved three nights, needless to say i checked out the very next day and went to another hotel.

The price is good for what you get the only thing is that if you look closely some of the towels are dirty the mirror was so dirty and full of spots that I didn’t know where the came from and the parking is not the best two cars per parking space so if you were in front and there was a car behind you. You wouldn’t be able to leave until the person behind you left if your able to spend a little more money than I recommend it but if you need something for 2 or 3 days this hotel will do

Room was dirty, our sheets were stained so we asked them to change them which resulted in them not cleaning our room for 2 days. We understand you get what you paid for but as we were going to be out all day all we expected were clean sheets and a clean room and didn’t even receive that.
