My hotel room had a very funny smile, I had to go buy air freshener to stay. The exterior door to get into the building rarely works. The room door specifically room 136 doesn’t close easily. You have to lift the door to get it into place.

Liked: Staff & service
Pros: Cheap Cons: Cheap and smelly The room smelled like too much air freshener was sprayed. After I left, I realized why - my clothes smelled so much like cigarette smoke that my eyes got irritated. The room also just smelled like dogs or pee or both..The bed itself was almost comfortable. The AC unit was roaring loud; it was not simply white noise. If you're a deep sleeper it might not bother you. Otherwise, bring OSHA rated ear plugs. I will not stay here again - mostly because of the smells. Advise to management: aerosol air fresheners, etc, do not eliminate smoke; they simply add another layer of odor. It might be more effective to actually enforce no smoking policies.

Nasty location the washer and dryers don’t work but they let you put your money on the account that you can only use to do laundry at their facility staff is rude no sense of security it’s a security car driving around but it truly doesn’t matter because I would see people sleeping in the parking lot

Terrible place staff stole a new shopping bag with brand new items and my mail my shopping bag was found in the hotel dumpster and once I brought it to management attention he said since I was upset that he would feel better if I left the hotel terrible staff plus the light skin desk agent had a nasty attitude towards certain people especially if they were low on income as if they were beneath her she was very short and snarky

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
When I first arrived, the suite was greatly worn; however, I was only staying one night while visiting family, so I felt the room would be tolerable---Wow...was I wrong! The ceiling in the bathroom was grossly peeling. I had noted urine on the bottom of the toilet; the bodywas dispenser didn't have a nozzle to use; the sign behind the main door looked like a dog had chewed it in half and it was still fastened to the door. That wasn't even the worst of it--that night , I woke to multiple bed bugs!!! I readily gathered my belongings and went to the front desk to inform them of the bed bugs and my intention to leave immediately.
