When we arrived, even though the room looked like it had been cleaned, the restroom was still dirty with toilet paper still in the toilet, and no extra rolls near by. There was a bad smell in the room and the surrounding area.

The place is falling apart a bit structurally. The front desk is tiny and is where an also tiny breakfast is served. Front desk staff had a very indifferent demeanor. Double charged us accidentally and took over a week to resolve it. Totally serviceable for a needed place to stay, not recommended for leisure/vacation.

We got to our room and had a very terrible smell. The room was dirty & better filthy. The front desk said that there were no more rooms available. It took me almost two (2) hrs to clean and sanitize the room. I had brought my own disinfectant,-sanitary wipes , luckily. I have pictures of all the dirt from the floor from the bathroom to the front room and where the banshee was at. I cleaned and wiped everything down. It was filthy. Never again while I stay there. I would like to have a Refund of my two day stay.

Do not stay at this hotel. Disgusting unclean pillowcases caused inflammation and pimples on my girlfriend’s ear. The place feels extremely unsafe, the area and the people around the area make it feel extremely uncomfortable. We were very concerned for our safety staying at this hotel, for whether damage would be caused to our car whilst staying. We entered our room initially to the smell of marijuana, when alerting the front desk he offered to swap the room but did not apologise for it or seem to feel too bad. Our next room had a huge dent in the wall upon opening the door, but whatever. I have never felt unsafe staying at a hotel until this stay. Other guests were smoking marijuana outside the hotel room doors, that we had to tell to stop then eventually call the front room desk so they would in this no smoking hotel. This hotel cost $155 for the night, an incredible rip off, with issues that i would not even expect from a $50/night place. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
