Do not go here tv dont work ppl hanging out smoking drinking , fights it was the most horrible stay and service on the out side never had a tv they tried to move me next to some crack heads horrible place then on top of it all you have to give extra 100 dollars
I checked into the hotel. The room I booked wasn't available so they "upcharged" me for a room that was available. The TV in the room didn't work. I went back down to the office but there were other customers with problems. I went back to the room and tried to call the front desk but the phone didn't work either. I went back to the front desk in the moring and they said they would check the TV and fix it or move me to another room. They didn't fix the TV and did not offer to move me to another room. I had to ask twice. I was finally moved to another room. The rooms are at best OK. The fixtures in the shower in the second room were pulling away from the shower stall. I won't stay here again.
I didn't like the $100 security hold that I won't get back for a week. Also the elevator did not work when the desk person said it did. The stairs were covered in some kind of liquid. And it was filthy overall. The only good thing was inside the room. And we did not feel safe
It’s not the most attractive place to stay. The exterior of the building is in rough shape and dirty, but the rooms were okay. The rooms look like they were remodeled at some point in the last few years unlike the exterior. When we first arrived, we were pretty concerned about the stay due to how sketchy and unattractive the exterior looks.
We asked the employee at the front desk if we could take a look at the rooms before we fully committed to the stay, and they were very understanding of it and without a second thought, showed us the two rooms. Considering the price we paid, I expected more from this property, but it was the only choice we had for last minute booking that was within our budget.
The hotel doesn’t provide free breakfast but there are multiple diners and stores surrounding the building.
The bathroom in our bedroom was not very clean, the toilet bowl had not been brushed well and the shower liner was very stained and looked like it hadn’t been replaced in who knows how long. The toilet itself didn’t flush well, we kept having to flush multiple times in order for waste to fully flush down. It seems like getting that fixed would save the hotel money in the long run.
I give this property a 3/5 mostly due to the customer service. All of the employees at the front desk were very kind. I really hope they’re being compensated appropriately because I witnessed multiple customers treat them poorly and they fought back with kindness - good for them!
There was no working smoke detector in our room. Im actually checking into the legal side of that because i believe thats illegal. It was hanging from the wall. I took pictures. Also, they went in my room in the evening (I only stayed one night) and called me during Summerslam and questioned me about whether not i was staying at the hotel that night. They should never be in room on the evening i check in. I didn't need housekeeping because i had just checked and everyone knows housekeeping occurs during the day. This hotel is going to facing several legal repercussions.
The room I stayed in had not been cleaned of the soap from the previous guest. There was no shower curtain. The neighbors were loud. There was an odd smell in the room.
The only plus was that it was smoke free.
One of the worst places I have ever stayed. No wonder it was the only place in the area with an available room.
The room was not very clean. They smoke detector constantly was beeping after I informed the front desk about it. Internet quality was not very good. I was itching from the time I went in the room till the time I left.
I did not even check into this hotel. Upon arrival, I waited for what seemed like forever at the desk. There was screaming and yelling in the parking lot and cops outside. I was not putting my son and I in this environment.
Floor wasn’t washed before my stay and smoke alarm kept going off randomly through the night.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
We had a handicapped room whose shower leaked clear through the bathroom. There were three bath towels two face clothes and no hand towels at all. No blow dryer, no coffee maker and enough flies to drive us crazy. Also being a handicap room toilet seat should have been higher, it was standard size. Will not return to this property!
The room a/c sounded like a jet engine,no trash can light above sink doesn’t work. No bulb,bathroom exhaust fan doesn’t work,toilet filled all the way to top before draining. Finally clogged. Was still clogged when I checked out. Room key card wouldn’t work when I left for a few hours then came back. Had to go to office and get it reprogrammed. All 3 days. No TV. And this is supposed to be a deluxe room. Also the sign outside says 59.99 per night and my price was over 100 per night. What a disappointment.
