Paid for the room with Expedia. When i got there the property charged my card again. When i brought it up that i was charged twice, office informed me it was an Expedia problem. Room was clean but the floors were standing in water. You could see where our door had been pried open at some point. Pretty sure there qas a homeless camp under the bridge next to the hotel.

Don’t stay here

Absolutely terrible!! Room was disgusting. Went for a concert, anyone I told where I was staying told me that I needed a gun because of how dangerous it was. Saw prostitution in front of the building. Constant yelling and loud noise from the whole area. Had to sleep with chairs in front of the door to feel somewhat safe. When I went to check out, waited for 5 minutes but the hole in the plexiglass was boarded up until someone showed up. Definitely do NOT recommend. Even for a single night.

Needs a makeup over

Definitely needs a complete makeover. The room was dirty, walls were filthy and it smelled like straight cigarette in the room that I reserve was supposed to have been a non-smoking room. The bathroom dining will look like it was cleaned out the bed sheets had a blood stain on it. The pillows look like they weren’t even washed and luckily, I actually brought my own pillow and my own blanket.
