Elevator didn't work and my room was on the fifth floor and first door I see when coming out of the stairs was a broken room door, one the side doors to enter the hotel was broken, homeless people hanging around outside where the working side door is at. Pretty sure I was close to getting robbed by one of the homeless guys outside because he hid behind one of the cars and walked quickly towards me but i entered the building before he could catch up and then heard him say "f***"...anyways didn't have a problem with roaches my room was clean. This place shouldn't even require a deposit.

It was the worst hotel I ever stay in.
This was one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in. The towels and bed sheets had holes and stains. I had to go and buy some towels, and thank God I brought my own blanket. The chair in the room was filthy and full of stains. The carpet was dirty and full of stains. Customer service was deplorable, they had young people working at the front desk, and they never no anything also the elevator was not working which made it worse for our entire stay we had to go up and down the dirty stairs. Please do not stay in this hotel. Not worth a penny.

The elevators were not working, they only had bread and waffles for breakfast, no protein or anything else. They hold your deposit for one week before they reimburse you again. We woke up with a police officer looking for 2 people on the room next door. Terrible experience, and the shower had some dirt coming out of the bath tub water

This was the worst time i had at a hotel in years. I call earlier that day to check on my reservation not at one time did they tell me the elevators where broken. When i made it late that night they tell me its to late to go anywhere else. They showed no concern. My wife have bad knees and hip so you can understand the pain she was in. Don't recommend this location.

We came for a birthday weekend , the hotel was nice however outside the hotel there were homeless people that could easily access the pool they had all their belongings and baskets of junk just piled in a corner and then the worst part is someone jacked my friends car up and stole all 4 tires off his car , and the staff was very unhelpful the police were called and they could care less as well, so don’t expect to have any help if such thing should happen
