    Staff friendliness

    \didn't have what they said on website. Old TV, heater woke us all night on and off. Water constant running in toilet. No microwave or frig.

    The room was clean. If I went by my first impression at check-in and the lobby I would have left and never looked at the room.

    The lobby was dirty and people that were hanging out around the lobby made me uneasy.

    good locations

    not working outlets, missing lightbulbs, broken sink

    3Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 1-30-2018

    Room was clean and private. Good place if you need to sleep, nothing else.

    Building was old and looked unkempt in places. Plumbing was awful, toilet would barely flush.

    1Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 8-4-2017

    Absolutely nothing. It's a scam. I have a high tolerance for this stuff so I booked it knowing it wouldn't be great but was blown away by how awful it was so I tried to get a refund immediately and was denied it. Has to be the only way they're in business

    This hotel is the worst I've ever seen. My room had french fries and cigarette butts on the floor, mold, burns, broken toilet, awful smell. There were even homeless people sleeping in the hallways. Denied refund and was cursed at by staff. Ruined my trip.

    5DeborahPosted on: 3-27-2017

    The front desk gentleman was kind - appreciated the refrigerator and microwave in the room

    Even though it was listed as a non-smoking room, the room reeked of cigarette smoke, most likely from the very old carpet. The only amenities were 2 small bars of soap. There was no shampoo, hair dryer, or extra toilet paper (half a roll on the spindle)

    6CathyPosted on: 2-18-2016

    The hotel was close to my event. The staff was courteous and nice.

    The room was not clean at all. There were cigarette ashes in the bathroom floor(a non smoking room). There were multiple hairs in the tub and on the hanging towels! And the floor was completely dirty obviously not swept or mopped.

    2Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 1-22-2016

    Front desk staff responded adequately to my needs

    Lobby and elevators very dirty and shabby. They are remodeling, should have begun there. The key for my first room wouldn't work. Second room heat barely worked, third room was fine, but tile floor was dirty.

    the location

    The hotel is remodeling. Room was clean. bathroom floor was dirty. Elevator,hallways were dirty.Towels were small and thin. Bed was comfortable & new. Otherwise I would have refused to stay there.

    6Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 7-22-2015

    The rooms were very recently renovated and everything in the room was brand new.

    The location was terrible, it was right next to the homeless shelter. Also the exterior appearance was pretty rough.

    1Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 3-21-2015

    There was absolutely nothing to love about this hotel. It is the worse hotel I have ever stayed at in my life.

    The rooms were not clean - I found crumbs in "clean" bed. The floor was not vacuumed and the curtain had holes in it. The pool had dirt and broken toilets in it. Don't stay here. You can find a much better hotel 15 minutes away for sure.

    1Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 3-18-2015

    Nothing. This hotel needs to not be offered as an option.

    This place is nasty. Rooms filthy. Inspections out of date. Staff is rude. Nothing is clean. Terrible neighborhood. Noisy. Even the TV is poor quality. I could not find anything positive about this stay and only stayed to avoid losing money.

    Located close to hospital.

    The place is a dump. Filthy.
