Do not stay here this was the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at. The was a cockroach in the washroom as soon as I walked in and it looks like they rent out for people to live in who were up all hours of the night outside our room. I didn’t feel safe for me or my family at this hotel. We woke up early and left without eating the breakfast as it didn’t look edible and there wasn’t much to choose from.

Only got 90 minutes sleep, up all night as had allergic reaction to bedding as likely washed in industrial chemicals. Pillows were paper thin and unsupportive. Also an odor coming from a/c unit. Do not recommend staying here unless on a very tight budget.

It was a place to lay your head, that's all. It's not meant to be the Hyatt. Just a place that's clean and affordable. Not in the greatest part of town. but your not tripping over bottles and bodies. Great Hot Dog establishment next door.

This place was really nasty. He had roaches. I couldn’t even sleep and he was even the sheets. I think they never changed them. They have blood on them. I don’t really recommend this place. The breakfast was not good either and the person when I check in and check out was not pleasant at all so I would not recommend this place at all.

Part of the issue is the area is shoddy with some questionable characters around and checking in. Definitely need to improve the building. The vending machine looks like it hasn't been used in 4 years.

The hotel room itself wasn't bad but could use and update across the board.

If you can afford anywhere else, do so. This hotel is dirty and unmaintained. When I arrived I checked in and went to my room. I noticed there was no blow dryer in the room, so I went to the front desk and asked for one. The attendant pretended to look around behind the desk a moment before saying they didnt have any. I pressed him that the website claims they do, to which he replied that only some rooms have them. So I asked him to get me one and he assured that he would. He did not. I had to come back and argue with him again until he agreed to find me a room with one. He still made no attempt until I firmly demanded to go with him. We searched 5 dingy rooms before finding one with a blow dryer, so I moved to that room.

My stay did not improve from there. I found a dead roach under the AC unit and saw several live ones during my stay. The AC unit in my room only worked on low, if I tried to set it to high it cut off. One of the bath towels had a large, suspicious brown spot, so I obviously couldn't use that one. When room service \"cleaned\" the room during the day they removed the dead roach and made the bed, but left the dirty towels without replacing them. Luckily I had brought my own soap, shampoo, and conditioner, as there was none supplied.
Besides the overall dirtiness and the rudeness of the front desk attendant, the clientele could be described as sketchy at best. I was asked several times by various persons for a dollar or a lighter.

Avoid this hole if possible.

There was a questionable red stain on the bathroom door, could’ve been blood I dont know. It was a little dusty and rusty but it did the job. There was a weird moment where we were told about a security deposit and that we needed $150 in cash but they looked at my boyfriend and reminded him the room was non smoking, which we already knew and wanted a room to be nonsmoking because we have kids. I guess they didn’t trust my boyfriend enough to not smoke that they changed the fee and asked us for a $200 deposit fee. We got it back because we did not destroy anything. Now here’s the bad part, they have roaches. I live in NYC so I see roaches but I don’t have roaches in my home, so it was hard sleeping knowing the room had roaches where is we had to come out of pocket to buy roach spray because it just made us really uncomfortable to sleep knowing this. Overall though it was the cheapest place I found and it did the job.

I was stuck on the darkest and creepiest side by myself as a female when I got there late at night and was actually scared. The room was not as pictured and not the cleanest. The breakfast was not as pictured. The only breakfasts served was DIY waffles and one kind of cereal. The water pressure in the shower was impossible to wash the shampoo out of your hair.

Walking into the lobby there was a dirty towel on the floor under a bag of towels. The room: rusty toilet fittings, crushed kleenex box, toilet paper messy, door jamb patched, scratched, dirty, moldy; it was so disgusting I took photos. The cord and handle of the blow dryer were filthy, along with the power outlet. The time was not set on the very old clock, which had yellowing tape on it.

Breakfast was so incredibly underwhelming. Sweetened cereal with milk and coffee, which was ok. After my last hotel experience (IHG) this was a shock, and I paid only a few dollars less. Truly a low-value experience.

Also, 1 of the towels was wet, wasn't changed out from the previous stay, when I went and asked for 2 towels they would only give me 1. Breakfast was make your own waffles & 2 dry cereals. The juice machine didn't work. Then when we got up Sunday morning, there were bugs in our room. Wouldn't stay here again when I am in the area.

The hot water barely lasted 5 minutes. There were no markings to turn the heater on accurately so it didn’t seem to work. The only breakfast option was waffles and the coffee tasted stale at 7:00 in the morning. I asked for a no smoking room but when I walked in the room reeked of smoke or something. I was in a room right along the highway so the noise was constant all night long. Also the phone in the room did not even work to call the front desk.
