Hotel de paso no para familias
Es un hotel de paso ya no es de familias . Es para gente que va a Estados Unidos a trabajar en oficios varios . No lo recomiendo ora ir con niños ni de descanso poco háganles los huéspedes solo licor y pasillo sucios. Es un hotel de entrada por salida solo dormir en el. La recepción sus trabajadores amables.

I want to start with what this hotel is like ->>> TERRIBLE. Do yourself a favor and do NOT patronize this establishment! In fact, I would also suggest Expedia take this establishment OFF their app/website. I am not picky when staying somewhere BUT this place is deplorable. The staff members are as helpful as they can be, considering the shape this place is in. I am supposing this hotel is home for subsidized housing and/or emergency sheltering. The floors are tilled nicely. The owner of this establishment must clean up this place and make major repairs. Otherwise, I think that this property should be shut down sooner than later. It is not a healthy place to stay, nor it is a safe place to stay in regards to deficits. I hated to negatively review this place but it is the WORST place I have ever stayed of 4 different countries, including third world countries. The list of things wrong with this place includes garbage in the halls, constant drips from sinks and tubs, room furniture that has not been dusted (nor cleaned), bath towels with stains, water from air conditioning on the floor of the room we stayed in, lamp shades that are old, old electrical system, old tubs (stained, peeling), and more. I have stayed in motels that are older, but they are clean and well repaired. This place needs major plumbing, work and electrical work, along with updates in the interior. I can't the state of the exterior building; we arrived late night.

Do not recommend
Overall, gross. Would not recommend. This hotel does not advertise that they are under construction until you arrive at the desk. The sheets had what looked like mold stains, the walls and bathtub were cracked, there were stains on the walls near light switches and door handles. Everything was half painted, the pool and other amenities were closed due to construction. There were full sized bags of garbage in the hallways, the doors to the outdoors were unlocked, and housekeeping was "at your request," so the room may not have been cleaned in between guests (there was hair on the tub and sink counter).

Hotel is very dirty. Roach and other small insect infestation on furniture. Property was under renovation so the pool is closed, it was noisy from construction, and the internet was on and off due to the construction as well. Management and staff are aware of the infestation problem.

When staying at a cheap hotel, I expect very little, but I must say I didn't expect NOTHING. No wifi. Exactly 2 towels in the room, both bath towels. No washcloths, no hand towels, no floor towel. Also, not even a little plastic cup to take the daily meds. The room was dingy, looked almost nothing like the picture on Orbitz, and of suspect cleanliness. Also, somehow they managed to reduce my cell signal to 1 bar or less. I would not recommend this place to anyone, even to save a few bucks.

The place looks like a shelter. The population and everything. I looked at the pictures online and saw what looked to be a decent hotel to spend my vacation at an affordable price. From the outside it looks fine but inside was a different story. My room was terrible. The faucet of the tub was constantly running and didn’t turn off. The bathroom looked extremely worn down with mildew on the tub. And the bathroom door was beginning to rot and break. It felt anything but homey. The population there wasn’t any better. Walking down the halls, there was this strong distinct smell that I couldn’t recognize, it just wasn’t pleasant. They also had a pool that they said was closed for construction. When I looked out my window, there wasn’t any work that looked like was being done on the pool at all. It’s almost like they didn’t want to have extra work for themselves by having it open. I would never recommend this place to absolutely anyone.

I booked this hotel months in advance. The pool, hot tub and restaurant were closed indefinitely and obviously had been for quite a while. Nothing on the property, or in the room worked. Plus, they charged an extra $10/day once you checked in, even though I paid for everything online in advance. The only way it could have been worse, would have been actual dead bodies in the room.
