I did not like how I was charged $100 security deposit that I still have not had returned to me even after checkout. They advised me that it should be put back on my card within 48 hours. I have never stayed in a dirtier or more unsafe hotel in my life

Worse hotel ever

My first room was 308 and it was completely unhealthy. There was mold and mildew everywhere. The shower curtain looked like it hadn’t been changed or washed in years. We left the door open for almost an hour and the room still smelled like mold and mildew. I eventually had to go downstairs and ask for a new room, which she gave me with no problem. The new room was better but there was still mold and mildew everywhere. The hotel also had a lot of prostitution around it. I seen at least 7 within my time staying there. The only reason I picked the hotel was for the view of the water I seen that they were advertising, but that is not their view. It’s the hotels view from across the street. I feel ripped off and wouldn’t recommend anybody to stay here unless you’re a prostitute.

Run down but great price

Last minute trip, needed something close to Hyland Hospital. Was clean yet run down. Shower knob was chipped and fell out so I had to Jimmy it to start shower. Area had ladies of the night working so it was difficult to stay asleep from their heels up and down the stairs!

The guy who works the front door is horrible he denied me a room after i already paid for it online. He called the cops on me & lied said i threaten him. I asked him to give me a receipt or something that says hes canceling the room i booked, he refused for a 2hrs straight. He would not give me a room or a receipt that said he canceled my room. I will never book there again. Dont waste your money here
