The hotel is definitely not as it appears in photos, the room smells old and as if people have smoked in them, towels are black stained, and then the area around the hotel is unsafe, many homeless or drug addicts looming around the area...I would not recommend this place to anyone!!

Don’t do it..it’s not worth it!

Worst hotel stay! The comforters, sheets, pillows, and towels were dingy and dirty! The bathroom floor was filthy as well as the shower and tub. Even after requesting a room change, the alternative was no better. We had to drive down to the local Walmart to buy Clorox wipes. Lysol, bed sheets, blankets, pillow cases and shower slippers. This hotel has a lot of homeless traffic, and what seemed like illegal activity.

The tv never worked. I called and for 2 days, and they never showed to fix it. I asked them a couple of times. My door card stopped working everyday. So I had to go back and have it reprogrammed everyday. They never checked my ID to see if I was who i said i am. They just gave me the card with whatever room i said i was in. Mold in the bathrooms. I will never come back.

The property was upscale for its location, the pictures hide the truth, the Pool was a kids' pool but twice the size, very small and looked unkept or maintained, the staff was very short, and rude, the room was ok but the price was pushing it for the locaton and what they provided
