"The hotel was dirty, dated, and smelled bad. I had to get cleaning products and clean the bathroom before I could use it. Stay somewhere else.2020-01-18"

"The hotel needed refurbishment, but it was a good place to stay.2019-09-02"
"The hotel lobby was stinky and dirty, and the chairs were dusty. The walls in our room was stained, and there was a big dent in one of the beds. The mattress was stained, the bedsheets were dirty, and I found Q-tips at the back of the bed. The lamp was broken. The toilet seat was disgusting, there was rust under the toilet, and the water pressure in the shower was terrible. The cold water was warm. There was a big dent in one of the beds. Rude personnel. The pool water was gross and we were told to swim at our own risk. Breakfast was inedible, and there was no inspection information in the elevator. Don't stay here.2019-08-06"
"The hotel had roaches, and the room door didn't close properly; my 1-year-old kept pulling it open. It took forever for the water to get warm, and it never got hot. I'll never stay here again.2018-11-27"
