There was a pizza pop left in the freezer of my room. The roof dropped water by the one bed. They gave me dirty blankets the one day. Never brought extra towels. You couldn’t adjust the temperature of the room. It smelled like mould and there was mould in the bathtub/shower. They also would not refund me one night as I had to check out a day early even tho I was giving them over 24 hours notice. All in all would not recommend this place or ever stay there again. It should be closed for health concerns.

Where to start... I booked through Expedia.com. When I got there the front desk girl was counting out money to guy I swear was buying drugs out the back door. Then she took a deposit for the room but the deposit was never returned. When I got into the room the first thing I ALWAYS do if lift the sheets to look for bed bugs, I found none but I did find a patch of dried sperm. Now I have been trying to call them for the last hour but i just get a busy signal like they don't have an answering service and the phone is off the hook. DONT STAY HERE!!! Anything you THINK you are saving isn't really worth it..

There was poop on the toilet seat and food in the fridge. Front desk lady was annoyed that I called and asked for it to be cleaned. They lock the front doors at 10pm and the front desk lady gets angry when you come and go for cigarettes. The back of the hotel was covered in garbage and there is no room service unless you order 2 hours
