Room was clean. But very sketchy otherwise. Did not feel safe. People hanging out in hallways and by open doors. I think they probably live there. Dimos (bar/restaurant)was very clean and had great food. But i wont stay there again.

The shower was not clean along with the shower curtain, the rugs seemed to have not been vacuumed in a while. There were dead bugs on the wall, but the beds were clean. The staff were nice, exterior and parking were nice.

A place to stay if you don’t mind Smells
The building itself is very old, and the entire inside reeks of cigarettes and marijuana. The room we stayed in had a door to connect to the room next to it, and they were smoking marijuana all night. Our room reeked. The only thing going for this place is they have really comfortable beds.

The curtains were torn. Some light fixtures did not work. The other lights were not very bright. Knob missing off of night stand. The refrigerator worked fine. Toilet seat loose. Thin walls allowed neighbor's TV to be heard.

Air conditioner made a lot of noise. We didn't have to use it overnight or would have been a real issue.

No air conditioner in the room?, Towels were stained and like rubbing sand paper on your body., Hair was in the tub had a pulled out myself to let the water drain. Drug deals in the parking lot heavy drinking in the parking Also the people doing to drinking throwing up near entrance way of building. Many more I think that's enough.
