This entire property was disgusting. The front desk lady was extremely rude and brushed off all of our concerns. There were several individuals partaking in illegal activities outside the front office tweaking, a lady talking to the wall and a cigarette disposal container, the door to our room barely shut at the bottom like it had been kicked in, some kind of bag over the light in the main area. Do NOT recommend EVER staying here unless you want to be drugged or get AIDS.

You get what you pay for

You get what you pay for! Upon check-in the office smelled like weed. I booked a double room and we got a single, the table that should have been in the room in the kitchenette area was gone and a queen bed was in the middle of the floor. Bathroom floor was in bad shape. The room had been painted to make it appear 'fresh'. There were many long term guests wondering the parking lot, sitting out in front of their rooms. Would not recommend at all. Very disappointed, our room looked NOTHING like the pics online.
Bathroom floor
Handicapped bar was not secure
No edging to prevent shower water from getting under the flooring in the bathroom
Kitchenette was ok

The room wasn't clean. We mopped the floor and it was so dirty the water looked like chocolate milk. It smelled and the cabinets were falling apart. It's like the picture on the website was their best room and the rest are in the slums. The elevator was filthy and going up 3 floor between 1 and 2 floors the elevator drops a little and scares you unti thinking it's going to fall. Staff was nice, but clearly this place is trying to improve, but I feel like i was mislead that this place was clean and it wasn’t. All the doors were busted and didn’t close with ease. You had to slam or force it to close. Half of the outlets worked. One of the pillows smelled like urine. On a good note i didn’t see any bugs.

This hotel is atrocious in every way. The nicest office person by far is Daisha. The most rudest and most unprofessional office person is Jaime! The elevator sounds like the sky is falling into the floor of the elevator. The outside has trash everywhere and they claim they're remodeling. The hallways smell like pee and weed and funk. I will never stay at this hotel again if i can help it! 0/10 I would not recommend this place to anyone! Beware and don't waste ur hard earned money or ur time on the trash dumpster of a hotel. They have beg bugs and roaches and weird looking bugs. My room phone never worked. I had no bulb in the stove hood. The fridge light bulb was always out and they never changed it. They had the water turned off every few days.

Would not recommend

I arrived late in the evening and was truly exhausted and just wanted a shower and sleep. The young lady who checked me in was very nice … sorry I didn’t catch her name. I was on the 3rd floor and the elevator was old and creaky and I definitely was concerned about safety. I got to the room and it barely looked anything like the pictures. Kinda reminded me of college dorm first day. The were no pretty bedspreads or soft lighting as pictured. I went to take a shower and the lack of water pressure coupled with the mystery of how to find the hot water left much to the imagination. There were weird stains on the shower curtain that weren’t visible until you were in the shower. They give you one (Bath towel) 2 wash cloths and a floor mat. There are also 2 slivers of soap nicely packaged so you don’t think it’s already been used. There was dust and cobwebs in most corners. I kept thinking you just need to sleep here. I figured I could watch a little TV which is when I noticed there was no remote. No I didn’t bother getting dressed to ride the death elevator to go report it. The blanket on the bed was barely thicker than the sheet but at least it was clean and the bed was comfortable and the AC worked. I made mention to the desk agent when I checked out about the TV remote being absent and she was like “you could have come back down”

The worst play to stay ever!!!

Was there a total of 3 weeks room was disgusting but was looking for an apartment in mean time. The room was already dirty and damaged prior to getting there. A hole in the bottom of the door allowing bugs to walk in. It says smoke free facility but the STAFF and RESIDENTS are smoking non stop near the office and doorways. The neighbors constantly fight making it hard to sleep. The worst part is the reviews (they give themselves) were all great. But first couple weeks I was getting bite in bed, thought maybe ants. Then found it was bed bugs! I called the staff and they told me to throw away my own sheets and to come get new ones if I wanted. I asked for a refund and they said no refunds and that I PROBABLY BROUGHT THEM! My family and I are very clean and I just drove from California for a place to stay before finding a home and they say I brought them?!?! I ended up sleeping in my car for the next 4 days and only using the restroom in the room until I got into my apartment. This place needs to be shutdown!!!
