This is the worst place. No water when we got there. Over charged on parking fee. Got put on the 3ed floor it has black carpets from never being cleaned ,dirt, stains and stinks. Staff were all High on drugs. The room was gross, smelled like cigarettes and dirty butt. The window fell out when i tried to get some air. The fire alarm started going off at 1:30am so no elevators. We had to carry our bags down the scary stairway where there people in there doing what ever. Saw the homeless just walk in & out. This was the worst experience we have had. We wanted to cancel but there were NO othere rooms in the city due to games. Thank goodness we had our own bed sheets as we were road tripping.

Never Coming Back

The rugs outside the room looked like they had not been cleaned in years. The towels were very small and rough. There were roaches outside the door. Parking was a nightmare. You are assigned a spot but because they don't enforce it, anyone can take your spot and since it is a small lot, that leaves you parking on the street if you can't find space. Although it didn't stink, it didn't smell clean either. Thankfully, we only had to stay one night; otherwise, I would have found an alternate accommodation.

This place had a multitude of problems. While they did resolve one issue there were just too many. (Bright lights at night, Noisy, really dirty hall carpets, dirty sheets, holes in the curtains) we were forced to get another hotel mid-stay and they would not refund the nights we didn't stay there. Never again. Do not book this hotel.
