Many things. The hot and cold were opposite. Blood on wall in room. Walls flithy. Door was shimmed with cardboard and did not latch when shut. Many more.

I booked this hotel for a 3 night stay. First impression is everything and it was not good. My room coming up to it looked like someone tried to brake in with missing pieces of the wall. I get inside and everything looks ok but then it's a giant markings on one of the windows. I constantly kept calling the front desk the more I examined the room. Pillows cases and sheets dirty, broken chair, cobwebs everywhere, and I was missing a mini fridge it was just an empty space. After a while they finally got things right and brought in a fridge and new chair. Come to find out the fridge was not keeping anything cold till the next day and they had to bring it a mechanic to fix it. Mind you this is all happening while showering, and going to events. So I had to give them access to my room often. The walls a thin, in the beginning I thought someone got into my room but it was the nearby rooms. I asked to be switched to a different room and couldn't. I asked for some money off my room due to the never ending issues. Was told they would get back to me and never did I had to ask during checkout and they declined any money back. I've stayed in motels better kept than this place. I would have cancelled in the beginning but I did it through a third party and everything was booked up. Overall I made the best of it but I'd never stay there again especially for what I paid.

It was a place to sleep but floor was damp, window had bullet holes, very hard to find hotel. Took them 15 minutes to look up my reservation as they had to look on 3 or more computers due to the property having more than 1 name.

The first room assigned was dirty, the bed was not made, wet dirty towels in the bathroom, and cigarette smoke. Gave me a new room: really hot in the room; the AC took forever to cool it down; plenty of dust in the drawers as if they'd never been cleaned. rusty fixtures in the restroom. Old and almost falling apart enclosure for the shower, and the shower stall looked like an old used repurposed stall. Overall dirty and old. Cigarette smoke right outside the building; and many shady guests coming in and out of some units. Some waiting in tinted window cars outside the building.
