You hope that when an inexpensive room is booked you can say it was cheap but it was clean. This was neither. Dirty floor dirty bedstands dirty shower curtain not a surface was in good repair so many scratches snd broken pieces throughout the room. Fixtures were chipped. A used condom behind the side table.hair on floor and hot water took forever to get hot, Please put a table lamp in room and hangars. Re-flooring needed as well as paint. Locks on windows.

SHUT IT DOWN

It was disgusting, we couldnt even stay and sleep. The beds had ash holes on them. Yellow and brown stains on the sheets, the walls had a bunch of random stains and the room had RATS... Talked to the manager and his own words were "im sorry, the cleaning laundry is closed", basically telling me to just sleep like that. We checked in at 9:30pm, went out to club and came back at 2:45am. Only stayed 15 minutes before checking out after trying to have it cleaned. Photos speak for theirself.

This is the most ratchet hotel/motel I have ever been to. It was dirty. It smell really bad. We got two really small towels and both were full of stains. The heater in the shower didn’t work very well. And the toilet needed at least 3 flushes to completely flush. I wish I could give it 1/2 a start because that’s what this place deserves. And for $80 a night. Definitely wouldn’t recommend
