Filthy dirty, sheets pillows and blankets were all dirty prior to check in. Black mold in the bathroom, not to mention the cracks in the molding allowing ants in. They tell you not to cook in the rooms, but I observed many people using electric stoves and skillets to cook.

Disliked: Amenities
Unfortunately this hotel seemed to have a lot of unsettled guest. Loud noises people up and out at all hrs. Guest revving bikes in the parking lot. Seemed to have guest that were possibly selling drugs or other substances. I don’t feel comfortable leaving my car in the parking lot. Unfortunately I couldn’t get a refund upon arrival so I had no choice but to stay. I barely got any sleep but I made it through the night.
