Good lord DO NOT STAY HERE. Our bath tub was full of mold and the hotel smelled like weed and cigarettes. Our tub would not drain so I tried to switch the room, got switched to a room that was DIRTY. The bed was not made and it looked like someone was staying there. They did not have another room so I got a refund. Never ever again.

The bathroom needs a lot of work. The toilet rocked every time I sat down, the tub wasn't clean enough to take a bath in, and the wallpaper was peeling. I had to clean around the sink before we used it. The shower faucets needed some manipulation to turn on and off. We could hear the music playing in the lobby all night, but it wasn't loud enough to keep me awake. The staff was good and the breakfast was great.

I should've paid closer attention to the reviews of this hotel before booking my stay because it was truly so dirty and old. I do not recommend anyone stay at this hotel. I asked to have my room changed initially because the original room smelled like cigarettes and was in terrible condition, but the second room was exactly the same, not to mention the mold in the bathroom. It felt dirty, full of germs, and I just could not imagine myself sleeping or even showering in a room with those conditions. I left the moment I saw my room and quickly booked myself a different hotel.

Although the property is in the process of being upgraded, the room felt grimy and several items were damaged. I book a room with queen beds but they only had full beds. There was lots of noise in the hallway and the elevator felt as if it were going to crash. It showed it was inspected May 2025, but it seemed that repair was warranted. The stair were on the outside of the building with no keyed entry so anyone could walk in onto the floors and if you wanted to take the stairs rather than the elevator you walked outside.

I was very disappointed with this hotel. Within five minutes of checking in, I found a roach on the wall behind a picture frame. The room was not clean, and the ceiling had signs of a leak that was never properly fixed. The overall appearance was old, dirty, and unappealing. It felt nasty, and I didn’t feel comfortable staying there, so I left shortly after arriving. The only positive part of my experience was that the man at the front desk was very nice and professional. I would not recommend this hotel.

I'm truly shocked they can advertise this property as 3 Stars. The exterior of the hotel is completely unbranded and bathed in an uninviting blue/grey color. The lobby was a nice surprise, but that was the extent of anything nice here. Our room had an odor to it, overlooked the dumpster, the walls were completely ruined, and the bathroom was quite dirty with hair and mildew on the shower wall. The smoke detector was chirping when we walked in, so we called maintenance who informed us he hopes nothing breaks in the hotel because he uses YouTube to fix everything. When I took a shower, the water went ice cold four times (assuming it was somehow connected to the toilet in a neighboring room), and the shower leaked through the bedsheet of a curtain and soaked the bathroom floor, including the clothes I had laid out to wear. The maintenance manager was quite nice (despite not being qualified for the position), but the property manager offered no response to our concerns. I am not a diva and wouldn't have complained about these items if the property was advertised correctly as a 1 or 2 Star hotel. But I cannot fathom how this can legally be listed as 3 Stars.
