This property is NOT SAFE. Meaning, you could be mugged or worse. I checked out immediately to find a safer hotel to stay at. The front desk staff were very nice. If you want a pool, there is not one. If you need an elevator, there is none (it is not running). The room itself was just fine for this price. Again, the issue is that it is NOT a safe place to be.

Do not stay here. Dirty, roaches, ugly, old, no pool even in summer, took 6 hours to get AC, and elevators did not work! Run!! Expedia should not be allowing anyone to stay here. I am just as mad at Expedia for promoting this hotel. If you have a reservation for this hotel CANCEL NOW!!!

Empty pool, elevators out of order, dirty carpet, laundry out of order, very out-dated, the only good thing is that it’s cheap, but you get what you pay for I guess.

Run just run! I should have taken pics!
It was awful. Front desk lady was not nice or welcoming. I also asked for more towels and she said what’s in the room is what we have. We don’t have extra towels. The property is disgusting the rooms are just as bad. No screen on our winder and a 5 year old and elevator was out. Hallways smelled like smoke and god knows what. I saw not one staff that night or next morning and the room was nasty lights didn’t work. If I wasn’t too scared I would have left but I had my two kids with me. Don’t stay there !

Cockroaches in the rooms. Wanted to check out on the same day we checked in and receptionist at the front said she was still in training and didn’t know how to do it. Unprofessional, unsafe, unreliable.

The hotel was once a beautiful property but has clearly been neglected. The front desk staff was very friendly and accommodating, so it still has that going for it.

Smelly
It was a last minute book for 2 nights. PROS: Front desk was kind enough to let me book an hour early because I had to kill time and it was too hot to do anything outside. Check-in was quick, room was cold, so AC works, which is good, and bed was clean and comfy. CONS: The negative was that there wasn't a phone, no housekeeping service, no "do not disturb" sign, light bulb on one lamp was missing, not enough electric outlets, very few TV channels, smells bad in the halls, no ice bucket, no ice, and wall and microwave were dirty. On my 2nd night there, the neighbor was fighting at night around 9-10 pm - lots of yelling and slamming doors.
