"Definitely skimped on towels. Bed is very dirty underneath covers. Random people outside at all hours. Literally a hooker site. Will walk around in practically nothing outside of hotel entrance, whistle at men, wave at you. It’s just gross. Good area, but could definitely be in better condition. Cops rolled around parking lot about 1x per hour everyday! Probably looking for hookers. Literally don’t stay here dude. They are all over the Jack in the box across the street which is also homeless central 😩."
