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.

It was ok for a quick overnight stay. did have clean sheets. No blankets just a sheet and quilt cover.
Lots of people foot traffic all night..
The room was adequate, no coffee maker and not one single cup/glass provided.
Breakfast was handed out in paper bags containing
Oatmeal in cup, muffin factory sealed, yogurt and breakfast bar.

No service of any kind was provided without asking. I stayed for five days and received no clean towels or sheets. The majority of the occupants were homeless people and the property was full of litter and dog poop.
Won’t be going back
