Bedding was dirty and had human hair on the blanket. Pubic hair was in the shower and some bugs crawling in the tub. We requested fresh bedding but wasn’t able to provide because it was already locked up. The blanket was filthy. The exterior door had light coming through from the door knob to the floor. I’m surprised Expedia had this hotel as a choice.
Dirty spot on the blanket the size of a hamburger.
Small brown spot in numerous places
Human hair in many places on the blanket.

Perfect affordable place to stay! It is such a convenient location within walking distance of many nearby businesses, friendly staff, clean room with a BALCONY that I was not expecting. Noisy road is my only complaint, and that’s the price you pay for being so close to everything, so it’s worth it in my opinion! I would recommend staying here .

We checked in and immediately left the property as there were homeless people loitering and laying on the sidewalk, needles outside and people smoking leaning up against the building. It was very sketchy and we felt unsafe.
