Roaches, toilet over flowed when you got a shower. Cigarette holes burned in blankets, pillows ripped stains on blankets. Microwave was filthy. Doors to vacant rooms were left open so cats were coming in and out of rooms. Front desk was very rude. Day before leaving I called to verify reservation and front desk clerk hung up on me 3 times.

Will spend more money next time on a hotel.

Needed a room for last minute memorial service for relative. Got this because price was lowest. Reserved a smoking room with double beds. When we got there they didn't have any smoking rooms available. Room had a half smoked cigarette above bathroom mirror. Beds were rockhard and toilet wasn't very clean. No mini fridge or microwave in room.

This place was disgusting. Roaches everywhere. I had no choice but to sleep there because I was so tired from working two days straight at the fire dept. I was woken up in the middle of the night by a roach crawling on me. The front desk talked to me through a little window and I could barley hear him. He wouldn’t speak up and he made me give him my credit card thru a little hole. I came into my room with a wet towel in the floor and when I moved it a family of roaches crawled out. This place truly sucked.
