Save your money we had a last minute trip and at the moment we were trying to save a few bucks but should have paid the extra somewhere else. The looks are deceiving in the lobby. Once you get to the hall ways it’s bad. Every time I got to my room hallway I got very dizzy and light headed the smell of cigarette smoke & ashes has just overcame those halls, there was literally a guy smoking a cigarette in the hall as we were walking to our room. I have to close my nose till I get to my room for fresh air. There was no cable all week which I understand with the hurricane but a notice ahead of time would have been good. Twice when we went on the elevator it shook really really bad I had to grab onto my fiancé because I thought was shaking that bad we thought it was gonna get stuck & didn’t open for awhile I did not let me or my children get on it after that. Overall I would not stay here again. It was not worth the money.

The receptionist at the check-in did not show any customer service skills. The hotel does not look clean. Common areas such as the elevator and hallways are neglected and dirty. The carpet in the room and bathroom require more cleaning.

I had to change rooms three times, every room that I was given either had an foul odor, rust stains, horrible carpet, scratches and holes in the walls. I believe their tenancy consists of people living at the hotel.

Experience not so good. After looking at the webpage made it seem more appealing than when we got there. The elevators were broken. We had to take the stairs up and down to the third floor and back and also when we requested towels and condiments like soap and the usual that the hotel is supposed to offer those items were not available. I was only able to receive some bars of soap and no clean towels upon request. The place was on the low end.

When I woke up to use the restroom, the water was off. I called the front desk and they stated that they will call me back with an update. I waited for over an hour and there was no return call I called back again and I was told the same thing, I waited two more hours and no callback. I call back a third time in the Front Desk told me they were on the phone with the water company to resolve the issue and they will give me a call back, but never did the water did come back on a few hours later , the smell of marijuana, was up and down the hallway and young children were sitting on top of the front desk countertop.

Room had dirty blanket and sheets on both beds. Dirty carpets and clumps of something on floor. …. Staff was very good though. Gave us clean sheets (that we put on), got us a tv controller because it was missing. We arrived late and were there to sleep for one night only, actually about five hours, or we would’ve never stayed and would have relocated for sure.
