The place was filthy. The floor was so nasty that walking a few steps from the shower to the bed made the bottoms of my feet pitch black with grime. The bed sheets had burn marks and holes. The water heater is in desperate need of maintenance— the water gets hot enough to cause actual burns after running for a few seconds. There was mold above the shower head, in the ceiling. The lamp above rhe sink was not secured properly (I could spin it like a propeller.) The AC worked but was loud and sounded like it was dying. Only food options available are the vending machines. Bugs kept getting into the room. Lamp beside bed had bulb but didn't work. One single power outlet I could get to that wasn't at the sink. Cleaning staff didn't knock and would have barged in on me changing my clothes if it wasn't for the metal door later lock thing.

Don't stay here!!!
I advise anybody to stay far away from this place this place is absolutely disgusting! I never felt unsafe and disgusted in my life, this place is where the drug dealers and prostitutes live and make money. From being woken up in the middle of the night by screaming fighting witnessing a woman with a bloody nose after a fight with a man blood was all up the stairs. The room was disgusting I normally don't walk around barefooted but when I did I picked up my feet and my feet was black as night on the bottom, holes was in the walls , a high stinch of cologne was in the room brown stuff was sliding down the bathroom door and the wash cloths and towel was disgraceful there was stains in everyone and I asked for new ones and there was stains in them as well . This place needs to be torn down i don't understand why it's still in business as much as I seen police coming through there left and right.

Dont ever check into this hotel. Their was feces on the toilet, roaches dead in hotel. We left immediately, and wanted a credit for our 3 night stay and they acted like they didnt know how to credit my account. It looked like a crack addicts paradise. Worst hotel ive ever looked at. Horrible!

Don't stay here. There were cockroaches in my extremely dingy and unclean room, and the staff refused even a partial refund allegedly becayse I didn't complain when I first noticed the problem...at 1AM....during the single night i was there...when I had to be up for checkout at 11 the next day. Unprofessional and childish staff all the way around. Wouldn't be surprised if this place was a front for something far worse with the overall condition and clientele I observed in my thankfully short stay. Don't stay here. Do not. Love yourself enough to spend a tint bit more on a place that isn't literally disgusting. Also contacted Expedia for a refund and they were unhelpful as well, just telling me to contact the hotel myself. If that worked, would I be complaining to Expedia? No. Also filed a report with the BBB, we'll see how that shakes out.
