"This was the worst hotel I stayed ever. First when I booked this hotel was because of the price and it was very close to the University that was son going to attend the upcoming school year. There was good and bad reviews when I did my research but I never expected the conditions the hotel had until we got there. We notice a few homeless Check in was fairly good because the lobby was clean. If fact, we were staying there because it was move in day at the university."
