Let’s start with the fact that’s they charged my account before I even checked in. Second, the stairs are a safety hazard. They are broken and slanted downward making it easy to fall. Third the TUBS… they are hard to get in because they are higher off the ground and slanted downward and slippery… making it nearly impossible to get in. I had to buy a mat so I had grip. Fourth, I had room 205 non smoking and 207 non smoking… 206 and 208 are smoking rooms allowing smoke to come into both of my rooms. Very unhappy with the stay. Prior to booking when looking online, they offered continental breakfast, when I arrived, they no longer offered it.

NO BREAKFAST, Lucky to have coffee!!!!

Well, we showed up and thought OK this might be ok, got up the next morning 730ish to go get continental breakfast only to find the door locked and NO BREAKFAST there. So my wife bitched and the next morning it was open but only coffee. Just to be clear our trip was NOT all about breakfast, BUT we did pick the place due to it and location, NEVER again!

This is a crack hotel. People living there with children. Gaps in door jambs. No weather stripping. Cigarette burns in bed spreads and linens. Matresses like cardboard boxes. Horrible

Not a great hotel Esp for well over $100

Pretty crappy conditions. It’s a little insane that it costs $140 for a night to stay in a room that should cost $40

There was no breakfast and no one at the desk in the mornings But the bathroom and bathtub was extremely dangerous. I’ve never been to a hotel where the bathtub was almost 3 feet from the floor you had to climb in. I slipped getting in and hurt myself getting out have black and blues all over my knee, and my husband almost fell in the bathtub as well when I try to complain in the morning no one was there at the reception . Very horrible and scary experience. I would like to send photos of my bruise.
