Trashy and gross. Linen and bed stained. Roof, walls, and flooring dilapidated. We only stayed because no other hotels available.

There were several major issues with the room. The bed was broken. The bathroom door didn't close. There was no smoke detector. The electrical wiring was exposed in a few places.

DO NOT STAY HERE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. Trust me. If you are thinking, like we did, “it can’t be that bad”. Think again. I am not exaggerating or being a Karen. Room smelled like cigarette smoke, holes in the walls, brown goo of some sort, on the curtains, and lamp shades, oh and a big cockroach in the bathroom, and baby one in the hallway. You are not that desperate.
