I made the mistake of not changing the number of people for the booking and when I went to the front desk to ask for more toilet paper & towels I was told they couldn’t give any due to the booking being for only 1 person. I would not stay here again

The front desk person was nice but the property was scary. The room was gross and smelled of stale cigarettes. There was some shady characters staying and wandering around so we chose to vacate and stay somewhere else safer.

Drug dealers on site

Drug dealers +hookers in room 227 the worst day I’ve ever had in a hotel and I’m a platinum member with Hotels.com. The Front Desk girl did her best to try to bring down the noise in the property, but constant fights. People knocking on my door by mistake as they were clearly Seling drugs, and hookers next-door. I was not able to get any sleep and it was pretty late. Check out, but I left early. Don’t waste your money in this property. It’s pretty scary.

Worst Decision You Can Make.

The property was nasty. Disgusting the sheets were horrible. They say they have breakfast, but do not have breakfast. They tell you to get cereal with no milk. The staffs attitude is not customer friendly. The guy threatened to call the police on me even after I proceeded to show him I had the money for my room.

Staff was nice, cleaned my room daily, but shower was disgusting the water had rotted out the metal door frame and allows water to go into living space behind the wall. Room shouldnt be rented it needs to be fixed whole wall is open and rotting mold and whatever else inside it. Only stayed due to no refund policy 2 nights for work.

OK for Quick Over-nighter w/ VERY LOW Expectations

Desk personnel were very good. Room had a couple issues with broken items, for example the toilet paper holder, but was clean and comfortable. Breakfast advertised, but I went by at 6:10am and there was cold cereal, a coffee machine, really old pump creamer containers (creamer separated or overly thick), and a juice machine.

Damen der var ved check in var rigtig sød. Aircon larmede meget selv ved lav hastighed. Gulvet var ikke rent, resten ok. Morgenmaden bestod af cornflakes, kaffe og fortyndet juice. Ingen te
