It took a while to check in, they appeared to be understaffed. Otherwise the room was nice and it's a good location.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Forgot i stayed here before. Its been cleaned up some the bed was pretty comfortable i did see 1 roach unlike b4 there were quite a lot. Tv had 9 white lights in it. Besidez that the area is cleaned up more from walkers and loiterers. Spent 1 nite might stay again if needed. Themaides could do better.
The place was in a dangerous area. It wasn't well lit or felt very safe. Emergency vehicles were always driving by and there was garbage everywhere outside. Inside the room smelled strongly of cleaning agents. There was hair on the pillows and roaches. The lighting made it feel like you were in the street at night. There was even a ball of hair and other stuff on there floor. The "head board" was some tiles on the wall and the paint was slopped over them in planes. The bed sheets were dirty.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The day before I was supposed to check out a staff member came into my room without permission saying that it was past my check out time. He argued for about 5 minutes and never returned to apologize when he found out it was not my check out day. (I was in the middle of changing clothes too). It’s known to locals as a drug hotel. Room is cheap. Buttons are removed so you can’t use the smart tv except their channels. WiFi is decent. Room is remodeled with stuff that can be cleaned easily. Smells of constant marijuana. Property itself appeared clean. Amenities pictured are locked away and not accessible. Check in window is impossible to hear through. I ended up checking out early due to staff walking into my room, unannounced and unwelcome. I did see 1 roach but it’s NC and a hotel. 1 is not terrible. Do not recommend to stay here but you get what you pay for I guess. AC worked well. I did not see an elevator anywhere.
