The beds were dirty there was toys stuffed under the pillows and under the blankets the so what we know that the linens were not changed the toilets were stuffed up and there was no mirror for our room in order for me to get ready and when I address the problem they didn't offer me another room or my money back they just didn't help at all they didn't even fix the problem or get me a mirror for the room we have to use a plunger and then take it back to the office it was ridiculous I never want to stay in a place like that again.

The staff were great and there was a security guard on site. There was a large fence enclosing the hotel rooms. Many homeless people in the area and it was just a poor choice by me to stop for the night in that area. However, the staff made us feel pretty safe.
