The pictures don’t reflect the real conditions of the hotel. You see homeless people around the facility and it seems they also live in the hotel. Our first night the people in the next room had a fight where we heard things being thrown at the walls and super loud scream that felt unsafe. The mattress bends, the room smells like cigarette, the floors outside smell like pee, the elevator smells like marijuana. The overall condition of the hotel is bad.

When we checked in and got the keys, we noticed the hotel environment was very bad and there was people smoking and fighting and homeless people were in the parking lots, I could laterally smell bad odors around and finally we noticed that the bedrooms had bedbugs and we left the hotel right after seeing all those things. It was a bad experience in my whole time booking a hotel. I recommend to check the ratings before booking it.
