Bedbugs!
Saw the reviews on the app and that is why we chose. Big mistake! Daughter alerted me to bedbugs and hotel only advised they would send maintenance to remedy. Asked about refund and was told since it was through the app there is nothing they would do. Didn’t offer anything else after that. Poor service, poor outcome. Hope the bedbugs didn’t make it home with us!

Dirty place but nice staff
My room had bed bugs and cockroaches. The whole place smelled like weed/blunts and had pretty seedy clientele. Customer service was good and the staff were nice but it was dirty and needs an exterminator. If not for the bugs, I wouldn’t complain.

Okay for an overnight
Check in was quick and friendly. The room was mostly clean- it could use a good deep clean though. There was dust around the edges of the floor/wall area and the bathroom could use a deep scrub and a coat of paint. It was good for the price.
