DO NOT STAY HERE! The sheets have horrible stains. The pillowcases smell like a dumpster. Bugs crawling on the walls. Someone’s hair on the towels. If you sit on the bed you’ll smell like 1970s smoke for three hours. I could not sleep here because I have self respect. The reviews on this hotel must be fake. Read them, they are all the same when mentioning how good this place is, the have obviously been ai generated or are completely fake, written by someone overseas. I showed up and the desk clerk was nowhere to be found for 20 minutes. I swear, if you don’t believe me, go ahead and rent this room… but I’ll bet you $100 that you’ll turn around and sleep in your car instead of staying here

Don’t stay here.

The room was very dirty. There were stains on almost every surface. The sheets and towels were very old and used by many. There was a cockroach in our room. We slept with the lights on in hopes we wouldn’t see another cockroach. Stay somewhere else, we would have been more comfortable sleeping in the car.
