Ooof. This was NOT a good stay. I can say this was probably the worst place I have ever stayed in my many years of budget travel. And this is my first negative review I’ve ever given. The check in gentleman was polite- he explained the surprise $50 cash room deposit - but my positives end there.
COLD- Our 2nd floor room was run down, and there was no heat in the below-freezing winter night. Very thin bed covers. We had to turn on the old AC/heat unit by the window, and wear sweaters to bed until it finally got hot by 4am, and we turned it down. Loud knocking sounds in the bathroom area may have been water heater?
BUGS- Saw one dead roach UNDER the COVERS of one bed (!) and 2 more in the bathroom areas.
SMELL - the room smelled of mothballs. The sheets had a combo of strong bleach and vaguely fecal smell (!)
DIRTY - wiping up a water spill, my towel came back brown. So the floors are not cleaned, I guess. The sink & tub had stains that I wiped away. Bed covers were shockingly dirty. The whole place felt dirty, uncared for, old.
We didn’t find the plastic water cups until we were ready to leave in the morning. All we saw were 2 soap packets, no bathmat. TV remote didn’t work, but we were able to use buttons on the side of the screen.
With the condition of the room, I am shocked that they charged $125/room $50 cash deposit (which we had to wait for them to inspect the room before it was refunded). I blame the owners, who appear to be slumlords.
