They were never at the desk, and never did any housekeeping. We would leave for the day and come back and our sheets hasn't been changed and old towels would still be outside the door. I get that it was the holidays, but thats no reason not to do your job with excellence. It wasnt a terrible experience but it wasn't quality either.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
There was a bunch of drunk people wandering in the parking lot and sitting on the stairs. The breakfast had the same stale couple of bagels that we there when we checked in. The toilet did not flush well. Kept getting clogged for no reason. The floor was slimy and sticky. Had to wear shoes the entire time. Because the floor was so nasty. The coffee pot was full of coffee grounds and old coffee from someone not knowing how to use it so there was no coffee. Could not find a person that actually was in the entire place so I could show them the issues. The room smelled like old cigarettes and stale beer. Very bad

Nothing particularly but please clean the floor as it feels wet and greasy to walk on and feel dirty inside the room. I would recommend putting a lock on the back door before unwanted people walking in and rob or disturb the guest. My wife doesn’t feel safe staying there.

Na!
Just an overnight stay. Won't be coming back. Checkin was at a kiosk talking to a guy, who knows where he was at. Only one employee seen while we were there, he was cleaning our room. Only good thing was the bed was actually comfortable. View out the window was the abandoned part of the hotel, all boardedup.

We stayed here for almost a week, in this week we didn’t get room service once. Had to reactivate the keycards every single day multiple times because of “system issues”. entirety of staff smoked so the entire building smelled like smoke. Unsafe part of town, Ubers are very very spotty. Unsafe, drivers and driving conditions around property no food or amenities nearby within walking distance. Staff is unfriendly and on some occasions, rude. Honestly, only recommend in emergency situations. It will give you a bad and a place to sleep, but it will not be an enjoyable time.

We have been there several times. It is clean and affordable which are most important to me. We had to have help to get the tv started ( only waited 10 minutes), but then the volume was stuck at a very loud setting. Also, the air conditioning couldn’t be turned down. it was 58 degrees or turn it off.

Room wasn’t in the best condition. Floors had trash that should have been swept. Tub was dirty and toilet smelled like urine. Manager had her boyfriend there kicking it so she had to put on clothes to come down to speak with me. Bed was filthy and the couch mattress was nasty..
