Disgusting infested hotel, pictures are deceiving. They have this back part of hotel that was likely never part of the actual hotel and they put you in one of those as if you have to fit a certain category to be in the newer portion that’s separated from the main office. We checked into room 108 (older part) smelled funny, sheets and blankets looked dirty -within 5-10 min we saw a small roach- my dog also ate something white off the floor and has been barking and going off the walls since. Called the front desk said we just killed a roach he says okay I will call you back we can work something out. Puts us in the newer room completely different- 5-10 min into the room laying on the bed on the throw pillow there is this huge roach - my husband took a picture went down stairs and the guys says well that’s a coincidence as if we walk around with roach pictures- said we can part ways and get a new room somewhere else with full refund which we did - checked into Hampton Inn. If you like clean hotels do not book.

I really liked that they had a security guard walking around pretty much all of the time and especially at night. It made me and my friend feel much safer. Room wasn’t as nice as the pictures but it was clean and well kept.

Be aware of this hotel!!!!!!
The pictures that you see in there ad is not what you get at all. You think you are booking at a newer inside hotel. But when you get there they never did tear down the old part in the back of the new part old and run down in the back outside 30+ year hotel.
