I really wish I had done more research before booking this hotel. The staff themselves were nice and polite, but the hotel is rundown and needs a lot of improvements.
There was a smoking odor throughout the hotel, the elevator was small and dirty, and when we got off on the 9th floor, the ceilings were orange/brown and visibly dirty. When we entered our room, we found multiple large brown spots on the ceiling and spots on the wall that looked like water damage. The sheets and covers were extremely thin, and the overall cleanliness of the room just didn’t feel right, not necessarily because of the staff, but because the building itself is not well maintained. A room in that condition should never be given to guests.
While we were there, we also noticed sketchy people hanging around both inside and outside the hotel. At one point, a woman was trying to break into people’s cars and damaging them, and we later found out she had been drinking at the hotel bar. She ended up trashing the lobby. After seeing that, we didn’t feel comfortable going to the bar or eating the breakfast. The breakfast itself did not look good, and considering the overall condition of the building, we did not trust the cleanliness or sanitation of it.
There are several other decent hotels right across the street that I would recommend staying at instead. I will not be coming back.
