Very smelly and stinky, especially the drapes!!!!

I've stayed at this hotel many times before and although it's definitely not 4star, it used to at least be clean. My first disappointment was requesting a king bed, but being told there weren't any available. After seeing several empty king rooms during my stay (the drapes are open), I was told thay they’re not using that part of the hotel... I wonder why? When I got to my first room, it smelled very dirty. Thinking it may have been the carpet, we requested a room without it. When we got to the second room, it had the same smell. We determined that it must've been the drapes. Everything from the drapes to the linens and towels needs to be replaced. The worst part about my stay was the roaches (yes, plural) in my room. That was the first time we'd ever seen them there, but we definitely weren't surprised. Seeing 1 roach is one thing... seeing multiple is unacceptable!!! They were the big ones, so very noticeable. The last one we saw was crawling on the ceiling!!!

It was clean and in good distance for where I wanted to go. It was not Baha Mar, but it was not Smith's Motel, either... It's decent for the money.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The lady that checked us in wasn’t very pleasant, it appeared that she was with in the middle of doing something and we interrupted her or maybe she had been sleeping and we woke her up. The room B111 itself was clean but the bathroom was a mess, there was something brown that was smeared on the light switch and wall, the walls needed to be painted and there wasn’t a toilet paper holder, the rolls of toilet paper were sitting in the toilet tank. The Internet said that they had “Free WiFi” but it was only in the lobby none in the room itself. The reception lady told us we wouldn’t be able to get WiFi in the room. If we had been staying for more than one night, we would have changed hotels the next day. This is the last time that I will stay at this hotel.

The property is near to down town and other restaurants which I loved. I did not like that the towel rack was non existent or the toilet paper holder. Other than those things , everything else was great.
