The pool in the hot tub were not warm. I asked if they could fix it and they told me no that maintenance had already left for the day at 4 PM. The room smelled and the smoke detector kept going off for no reason. they don’t have enough towels for all of their guests when I asked for one they gave me a floor mat. There was no fridge in the room after I asked they told me that they just don’t have one. I found random nugs of weed on the ground. Also there is mold in the lining of the showers and just overall didn’t feel safe.
Desk clerk was awesome...
really helped with directiions and room....I'm a caregiver and we needed wheelchair access to the room.

Everything in the room felt neglected and old. The location didn’t seem very safe. I decided not to stay and checked out right away.

Big NO! Sketchy. Scary. Not taken care of at all. Moldy bathroom. Unsteady staircases. Room smelled like smoke. We didn’t even end up staying. Had to get my bank involved for false advertisement.

The service was good. The people at the front desk very nice. But the hotel, needs some improvements.
There were barely any amendities. Only a bar of soap. One thin blanket. Water on floor. Leaky shower head. Long wait to check-in. Over an hour. Dog poo all over outside. Smelled bad. In run down neighbourhood.
The neighbors in my surrounding rooms were harassing me from the minute I got there. Loud knocks through the night. The door has a gap about a 1/4" wide where they can see in. They talked loud about their going to make my life a nightmare and they succeeded.I didn't get one minute of sleep. I didn't call anyone because of fear of my life. I stayed silent. The guy at the front desk said that I should have called someone.. I lost out of sleep . Im 68 years old. I have fourth stage lung cancer. It was a very long night I cried at times.
