Never Again!!!
The room was so tiny that you couldn't even open the door the whole way until it hit the bed. The A/C unit was in the bathroom, so if you wanted to keep your room cool, you needed to keep the bathroom door open. But when the bathroom door was open it blocked the TV. So you couldn't even sit in bed and watch TV without being hot! There were literally only 15 inches to squeeze thru between the sink and the wall to get into the shower! The floors were so uneven, that there was a 3-4 inch gap at the door just to make the door swing open. The only place to put luggage was at the foot of the bed, but when you put even a small duffle bag there on the floor, then there wasn't room to walk between the luggage and the bed. Room had a microwave sitting on top of the refrigerator but the cord wasn't long enough to reach any outlets, so you had to move the microwave and set it on the floor to be able to use it. The refigerator and microwave were under the small garment rack so then you couldn't even hang anything on the rack (but there weren't any hangers to use!) 3 Flights of stairs going up to our room were very steep.... but the railings were so dirty and sticky that I didn't want to touch them. No one at the desk when we arrived at 7:30 PM - just a handwritten note with our key (that anyone could have picked up and used before we arrived!)

Rip off rooming house turned “hotel”
This place was a rip off. No phone in the room, no tissues, just a single already opened roll of toilet paper. The room smelled way better than it looked. The pictures are worth 1000 words. This place it 75.00/night at best.

This place is a ripoff and even more of a ripoff booking though Expedia because of all the extra fees they charge. The bathroom was moldy and disgusting. There were no staff available to help us when our room got locked by the code lock even though we were given a regular key. There are no elevators in the building so it’s super inconvenient. The common areas are gross. The beds are horrific. The room furniture is cheap and falling apart. Not worth the money. Spend more and enjoy your stay elsewhere.

I wasn't expecting 5-star luxury, but I was expecting at least a little effort. Why management decided not to invest in anything resembling a quality mattress is beyond me. A decent foam mattress would make all the difference in the world. Instead, I'm left with a cheap flea bag motel type of impression and the need to visit my Chiro. BTW...it wasn't a cheap room; they are making money here.

This hotel was very dirty, with holes in screens which allowed insects access. The plumbing in the shower area was exposed so you could see the red and blue vinyl piping. The towels were stained and dirty, coverlet on beds was filthy. I would never stay here again

I’m not sure if the following is true for every room but ours was a nightmare. Water damage in the bathroom, broken blinds, moldy faucet. We actually wore shoes everywhere- even in the shower because is just felt unclean. Extremely uncomfortable bed - the list could go on and on. The only Pro was the location. I only stayed one night.

The hotel was okay. When I arrived I was worried because reviews were not good. The main entrance stairway was very sandy and had not been vacuumed for a while. There was a used medical glove on the stairs. This disappeared by the time I got my car parked and came back up the stairs. My main complaint was that they asked me for my drivers license and credit card, which is normal but then they made copies of them and kept them in a shoe box size file box out on the desk behind the counter. The counter was open to the public...in other words you could walk behind it ...no locked gate. When I was checking out I asked for the copies of my credit card to be destroyed or at least given back to me. They refused because it had to be kept with my paper file. I think this is dangerous because it was not secured and I had paid up front with my reservation. I would never go back because of the check-in and checkout procedure. I will always be worried someone with get my credit card and have a copy of my license.
