The staff had made a mistake on our stay, by skipping a night and I tried explaining to the person at the desk, why would I stay and then skip a night? She had to talk to the manager who was the one I had talked to on the phone before she believed me. We have been staying here since 2022. I have never got into an argument with anyone in a place of business, but that young woman was rude and belligerent to no end. I was charged and I wanted my money back. She even threatened me with the police. I left and I called corporate, and my money was returned. That person needs to be fired. What was funny, she recognized me from being there 2 weeks earlier! I will never stay there again. Think twice.

Worst stay ever. The older lady who worked days was very rude. Zero room service. When asked about garbage removal from our room, we were told to tie it up and take to the dumpster on the side of the building. We were only allowed 2 towels a piece, no more. Even with no room service, we never had towels replaced, but had to take dirty towels to front desk to replace with clean towels. Breakfast was ok. Eggs, I think, were powdered. However, no heater to keep the eggs and meat warm. Milk was not cold, serviced in a pitcher without ice, had to request cold milk. Talked to manager. She "seemed" to be not happy about the report of the front desk person, yet, still received rude looks the next morning. Not going back any time soon.

I've stayed at a lot of hotels and this has got to be the all around worst experience I have ever had. First off, the room photos they provide are deceptive and you do not get all that you see. I ended up having to upgrade my reservation to get the balcony and king bed. ROOM 221. But, it was hardly an upgrade as the room reeked of cigarettes. The kitchenette had clearly not been cleaned in a long while and there was a huge blood stain on the mattress pad under the fitted sheet. Hair in the bathroom sink, etc. The staff seems very disassociated and don't really seem to care about general guest needs like extra towels or bottles of water in the lobby. On top of it all, I received a spam text yesterday from someone claiming to be from MainStay, asking if I would take part in a survey. They had my name and reservation info, which clearly means my personal info was compromised. The owners/managers of this place need to strongly consider what it is they do.

Check in was normal and fine. The room itself wasn’t the worst I’ve stayed in. However, if you are the type of person who is concerned about the area around you, I don’t recommend this hotel. The amount of straight up marijuana I smelled was unreal. Most of the other guests I saw looked like either hookers or they just got out of prison. Just a lot of shady characters. I was told this area of town is known for a high drug rate. The elevator wreaked and looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in a month. I went to the so called gym to work out and I just couldn’t do it. It smelled musty in the room. Probably because they had stored several washing machines in there. The equipment had torn seats and just didn’t look safe. This is an $60 hotel not an $100 hotel. Overall I was not impressed and will never return. I recommend you choose a different hotel in a different area.
