Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests overwhelmingly reported that this place is no longer a hotel but a shelter for the homeless, leading to feelings of being scammed. Many guests were turned away despite having bookings, and the overall condition of the facility was described as run-down and unsafe. A few guests noted that the beds were comfortable and the location was convenient, but these positives were overshadowed by the negative experiences. The cleanliness of the hotel was also a concern, with reports of bad smells and the presence of loiterers outside.

Cons (-) Very dirty environment. I won't even recommend my worst enemy to stay there, it was stinky from the lobi down to the room and very unsafe for my family so i decided to go search for a better place to spend the night with my family. It was a waste of my money because i didn't spend the night there

Pros (+) The front desk lady was nice.
Cons (-) Room dirt with hairs in bed. They change my room immediately but the next room had hair also. The location it's kinda ghetto and the people who where staying looks like drug abusers. Really smelly bad place. I feel sorry for the staff but it's the truth.
