2/10 Poor

I will strongly recommend that you DO NOT stay here. There is no secondary locks on the doors. The bathrooms are shared. In the room I was in the mirror was off the wall and had white powdered residue on it. You have to pay $25 for a key deposit for the front door. The rooms have a 4 digit code and no other locks on the door. And my cab driver even said that this was a bad place to stay

The road that this property is located on is currently under construction-which can make it annoying coming to and leaving the property due to increased traffic. The bathrooms are shared-which comes with its own annoyances. The price is good though.

Bad night

Couldn’t sleep until 2am due lot’s of movement noises. It was happening with no consecration of guests are sleeping. Management was involved.
Abdul Qadir, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Smoker next door, no towels, shared restroom/shower, no lock on door, smelled like a kitchen ( someone cooked a meal of some stinky food) and it was scary. Open window , no AC and I left to go sleep at the airport. A bench was better than that room. Never to return..

Dirty rooms

The whole building is dirty. There are holes in the walls in places. The room and bathroom were dirty. Everything was dusty. The bedding looked dirty. The room smelled bad and the halls have a weird odour. Something in the bed scratched me. They originally gave me a room that someone was already in. They had no hand soap in the bathroom and the room didn't have towels. I will not be staying here again and do not recommend it. Spend the extra money and stay at The Inn On College next door.

2/10 Poor

They advertised that they renovated there property. They lied. Even if it is a cheap place to stay, it's to dirty, only received a towel, no face cloth or soap. Room, wind sill full of bugs, dirty window, screen, curtains. Tear in bed cover. Walls dirty and have visible repairs. Tear in bathroom lino, damaged walls in bathroom, awful. Fridge dirty, Microwave dirty. I already stated someone walking into my room and some of these conditions. I was not offered any compensation. I would not recommend to no one. Darlene O'Hare

There are many drunken people at the property, some break into the hotel when guests enter or exit hotel, there in no towers for wash or shower, each floor has one shared bathroom

the place is kinda gross
Mark, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

If I could I would upload pictures I would so people know what they are getting into. I needed to stay one night but left as soon as I could. The chair in room was stained with white gunk curtains dirty with stains everywhrre. The shared bathroom was deplorable and not even hand soap first day and no paper towels to hands Closet didnt have hangers so the one towel given couldnt hsnb up. No hotel security at 6 in morning someone pounding on front door to let them in when I didnt pounded on door and cursed at me. Later saw her let in by another person let her in. Expedia should not list this hotel as it is for transients not tourists.
