Stayed here 9 years ago, and this was kind of a let down. It has become one of those places that people live at with loud barking dogs, in need of a refresh in the room. I went on the budget and got what I paid for. Please fix the fire alarm from chirping in the morning, not worth any price for that.

The place is not like the pictures advertised. You are not getting the quality that the pictures portray. We ended up checking out early, didn’t get any sleep. Everyone around us was living in the hotel and it was loud. 2 guys knocked on our door around 10pm looking for someone. No one slept and I’m sure there was a drug deal outside our room around 2am. The employees at the desk were nice and I’m guessing they know things are out of hand.

The first room I was given was absolutely disgusting. It smelled like smoke and the walls had a film of nicotine as if someone had been smoking in there for years even though the establishment was “smoke free”. I told the front desk and he showed me other empty rooms and allowed me to choose. Customer service was great thought. New room still had dingy sheets with cigarette burns in it. Homeless people stay around the hotel as well.

Unfortunately, my stay was significantly disrupted by a neighbor and their roommate who argued loudly from 9:00 PM until 4:00 AM. Despite the television being at full volume and two dogs barking throughout the night, security was unable to resolve the issue after my calls at 1:30 AM and 4:30 AM. It was clear that these individuals were not concerned with basic social etiquette or the comfort of other guests.
