At check in it took 15 minutes to get me a room that I had already reserved. No line. Plenty of rooms. The head person was eating with one hand and keyboarding with the other. Room was filthy. Not vaccumed at all. There was hair all over the toilet seat. The bed was comfortable and it was quiet, but I got up at 5 am and left. I didn't feel comfortable taking a shower.

As an FYI, Even though it states they accept service animals, they do not. I booked for my mother through Expedia and she has a service dog. She has a letter from her doctor and the dog is trained. She was turned away quite rudely being told, "we do not accept pets." Her dog is not a pet. It is more akin to a medical device than a pet. Would you take a blind person's cane? A handicapped person's wheelchair? Than why list service dog's permissible then turn away my elderly mother? Absolutely inexcusable. Disgusting. I called to investigate only to be told the same thing: no pets allowed, and put on hold for 10 minutes. Will never recommend.

In their property page, they state they have a gym and a pool, of which both weren't available! They advertise that breakfast is free, but there is no warm food, only cereal, coffee, toast & oatmeal. We had to change rooms immediately upon arrival, because the room had not been cleaned. Overall, the whole facility was unclean and smelled bad!

The room was covered in splattered paint/marker. There was "game" cards covered in dust above the lamps, smoke detector coveres in plastic bag. No towels or washcloths, 1/2 roll of toilet paper. Door looked busted/pried open. Deadbolt wouldn't lock. Outside had homeless persons clothes around the trash cans, dumpters, looking in the windows was mattresses stacked up in the hallways.
