The bed was clean and fairly comfortable. The gentleman at check-in was nice enough. The rest of the room was disgusting. The cleaner smell was so strong when we walked in, with both instantly got headaches. The floor was sticky. We propped open the door and mopped with a wet towel to it wouldn’t smell so strong. The towel turned black! Baseboards look like they had never been cleaned. The shampoo/soap is clearly topped off instead of replaced since the labels were completely gone or peeling off. Most of the outlets didn’t work, including the the blow dryer was hooked up to in the bathroom. Channels on the TV wouldn’t change. Room in general disrepair. Walls are paper-thin and I’m pretty sure people were making drug deals outside all night. We could hear everything all around us as if there were no walls at all. Never staying here again.

The room was completely filthy with old Dr Pepper bottles on the floor and trash in the cans from a precious guest. The drain in the bathroom did not drain. There were significant stains all over both bed sheets. We also found a crack pipe in the room. Upon arrival, there was a gentleman yelling in the lobby on the phone and the receptionist looked scared. The receptionist did say he would issue a refund when management arrived in the morning but it was not guaranteed.

Hotel was run down not at all looking like pictures online. Website advertised shuttle from airport and breakfast but neither was available and we were not notified otherwise. Room smelled of smoke and did not look clean So moved to a second room. Second room was just as filthy bed had a little bugs on it and dirt. Wall mirror had graffiti in sharpie pens written all over it. We left hotel and slept at the airport. Due to baseball spring training there was no other hotel that had rooms available,
