* The bathroom was filthy…floors not swept, half a roll of toilet paper, slow drain in shower with stuff coming out from previous occupants. * Breakfast was less than expected…stale bagels and English muffins, juice wasn’t available for non-coffee drinkers * Beds were comfortable

If you are just passing through and need somewhere to sleep then this hotel is fine. It was clean and the beds were comfortable. They had some cute extras in the bathroom which were thoughtful. The staff were really nice too. Even though they are trying to fix up the room they still smell like years and years of people smoking in the room, basically its like staying inside an ashtray.

The hotel is tired and in need of upgrading. There were musty smells in the hall and in our air conditioner. Once that was turned off it was ok.

Only if you are desperate

The hotel is outdated and filthy. Holes in the walls and doors. Stains all over the carpet in the lobby, stairway and hallways. Fruit flies in the breakfast area. All bread products were individually wrapped, and when I walked past the front desk, there was a man with no gloves individually, wrapping each piece. The room smelled musty, and the tub and toilet was stained.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The property is somewhat older on the interior than the external building would suggest. My room would have been acceptable, were it not for the off-putting smell of wet carpet that made for a challenging stay. The heating/air conditioning unit appears to be on its last legs and was incredibly noisy as well. All told, I had a very uncomfortable sleep and I can sleep through pretty anything.

The morning front desk woman was wonderful! The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The property wasn't very nice. There were small pieces of litter on the floor in the hall, including someone's fake fingernail. Everything in the building was humid and muggy even in the room with the AC blowing. It did not smell fresh anywhere in the building.
