If I could I would upload pictures I would so people know what they are getting into. I needed to stay one night but left as soon as I could. The chair in room was stained with white gunk curtains dirty with stains everywhrre. The shared bathroom was deplorable and not even hand soap first day and no paper towels to hands Closet didnt have hangers so the one towel given couldnt hsnb up. No hotel security at 6 in morning someone pounding on front door to let them in when I didnt pounded on door and cursed at me. Later saw her let in by another person let her in. Expedia should not list this hotel as it is for transients not tourists.

I will strongly recommend that you DO NOT stay here. There is no secondary locks on the doors. The bathrooms are shared. In the room I was in the mirror was off the wall and had white powdered residue on it. You have to pay $25 for a key deposit for the front door. The rooms have a 4 digit code and no other locks on the door. And my cab driver even said that this was a bad place to stay

Wouldn't recommend for an enemy. Had to check out early due to excessive noise and cold. Middle of winter but the heater wasn't working. They gave me a little space heater but kept tripping breakers for the entire circuit in the room. People running around drinking and partying but management had no answers. Asked for a refund for the remaining days off my stay to no avail. Worst experience in a hotel of my life. Avoid this place at all costs. Only thing positive was the shared bathroom was kept decently clean to my surprise.
