The room I had was not bad inside but outside was bad. And the noise and smell of somebody smoking was terrible! Stayed two night and the second night, people on the third floor had a party or something and there was music playing all the way until 6 am. Plus got a man and a woman knocking and trying to open my room at 5 am. Very disturbing and scary! The cleaning lady was helpful and polite. Man and the front desk was also polite. Outside of the property was dirty.

Checked out the same day; unfortunately checked in and left to get something to eat. When we arrived 2 hours later and seen the room, it was so bad that we checked out immediately. We had to still pay for the room which was completely disappointing but at least we didn’t stay in a place that was dirty sheets and bugs not to mention not feeling safe!

Honestly the place looks like it hasn’t been cleaned in days . The place looks out dated . I got 2 rooms , the other room l got was for my parents. That room didn’t have any bath soap or shampoo. And it was missing 1 towel . The area is rough, homeless people hanging around the parking lot. I definitely would not go there again .

Don’t do it! It’s a dump.
Old old structure. Questionable condition. Rotten and rusted banisters and balcony. Room was tiny. Tiny! Barely enough room. To walk around the beds. Absolutely no sound deadening from room to room. Totally sketchy people and activities in the parking lot. I’d not recommend this place to anyone.
