This hotel was one of the most terrible hotels I’ve ever stayed. There were too many people outside. It was very noisy. The rooms were dirty. There were cockroaches, big bugs. I was mortified. This type of hotels should be closed and not advertise here in Expedia. It gives them a bad name.

I had to to check out of my room 10-02-25 to go to the bank. Came back at check in time 1:30pm. They put me back in my same room that I checked out of. It was never cleaned and the sink was still leaking. Also when I paid at the property with cash they forgot to give me my change. So today they came to askif I was staying I told them I just was waiting for my friend to come bring my check. This was at 11:50 pm. Then at 1:00 they demanded I remove all of my things while they stood there and threatened to help me pull all of my things out. This is where I'm at now and have the money for my room but seriously debating to check back in.
