Caution for those who have family: this property is in a horrible condition: structural damages, disgusting rooms, broken appliances, unsafe conditions around the property and inside the property, the police came every night due to altercations in the hotel, towels were dirty, etc. THIS IS NOT A HOTEL, THIS IS A SHELTER!

This place is a complete dump. The room was filthy. Hair in the bathroom sink and tub, a sock from previous guest on the floor in the middle of the room. I was only there for one night and that was enough.

I couldn’t stay at all. This place should be turned down and rebuilt, is incredible how bad conditions are found. Dirty with cockroaches and other insects on the walls air conditioning rusted, bedding I even take a peek, towels all stained, the toilet no words, floors were sticky on the shoes, it should not be allowed to be available as a place for people to sleep.

Property was unclean. Room had feces smeared on floor and was of bathroom. Cockroaches everywhere. Fights in the parking lot throughout the night. Priced at $160/night. Insanely expensive for the astronomically poor condition of this place.

During the hurricane the water was dripping in at a constant rate through the smoke detector and dripping onto the air conditioner! Then the popcorn ceiling was falling off onto the air conditioner. This place is a pit. I felt like going to my car and sleeping in it.

This sh1t hole nightmare was a true Halloween experience. As we approached this house of horrors on Halloween eve, the zombies on meth or fentanyl became abundant. I was not able to cancel because it was past my check in time but I would rather lose my 401k than spending a single night in this hell hole crack house of horrors.
