This hotel is a disgusting mess. They advertise even in the lobby the free breakfast but do not actually provide it. NO BREAKFAST. It is a lie. But beyond that, the room itself was utterly disgusting. Both the bedding and the mattress itself in my non-smoking room had numerous cigarette burnt holes. The walls were filthy, the drywall cracked and broken with mold growing in places. There was no microwave, cups for water, or even a trash can in the room at all. As if they want you to just throw your trash on the floor? The carpet was stained and dirty. The electrical outlet in the BATHROOM was broken open with exposed wiring visible. The hallway outside the room stank of cigarette and marijuana smoke. The scan box for hotel key cards to open the side doors did not work. Literally the only positive thing I can say for this place is that I did not find any bed bugs. Other than that, it was utterly terrible. I highly recommend not staying here.

Burns in bedding, shower did not work, mold in tub, stained towels and no toliet paper. When asked for another room or assistance, clerk shrugged and said there was nothing she could do. It was so bad, I left and went to another hotel. When I asked for a refund (I had booked a 2 night stay) I was refused even after contacting the manager. This is no way even a 2 star hotel!

Honestly, horrible experience to the point we checked out a day early. We were assigned to a room that when we went inside, had a walker and hadn’t been cleaned. We were then given another room by a cleaning individual. Inside that room, the bed was grey, dirty, had foot marks, fingerprints and had burnt cigarette holes in it when we specifically wanted a smoking-free room. The entire establishment was hot/musty and it smelled like stale cigarettes. We didn’t even feel comfortable trying the breakfast and decided to get another place, which in the end was extra money spent. The room that we were lastly placed in had a couch with stains and random fluid on it which made me and my boyfriend uncomfortable. The topper to the bed also wasn’t white, but a dingy yellow and it was stained. We didn’t feel comfortable sleeping here. Customer service wasn’t great and they didn’t even apologize for the original room, but instead gave us the room and we went about our way. The elevator had a slow door that slowly opened and everything but the main breakfast area and the bed itself (minus the dingy yellow topper) was clean and smelled decent. Definitely will never go here again and this is me being critical in a way I wouldn’t have imagined. The manager was nice enough to be kind, but customer service isn’t really practiced here.
