We checked in, saw the room and checked right back out. The room smelled of mold and mildew, the plumbing didn’t work (toilet wouldn’t flush), there was holes in the comforter and there was bugs crawling on the wall INSIDE the room.

Ugly place, unprofessional people, abandoned and dirty, alcohol and marijuana smell in all areas of the facilities. Walls, stairs, furnitures and hallways in bad shape no painted broken or dirty. Hairs in the sink and the bed. Is a very low class an unpleasant place to be.

The experience was extremely disappointing. The place had basic hygiene issues, including the presence of cockroaches. Additionally, the sink was not working properly, the shower kept dripping constantly, and the air conditioning made loud noises, making it impossible to rest. Due to all these issues, I chose to leave the same day. I do not recommend it.

Where do I begin… the rooms do not look like what is advertised. We walked in, floor was dirty, beds had cigarette burns on sheets, fridge had mold, bathroom was had dirt maybe blood not sure. Room smelled like smoke even though we asked for non-smoking. We turned the key in and had to book somewhere else. Don’t know how to put pictures on here but stay away! This place should be shut down. And they didn’t not give me all my money back! STAY AWAY!
