My fiance and I were here for all of 5 minutes before requesting a refund. Place is a dump of dumps. The dude at the desk couldn't have been nicer, really he was nice, but as soon as I walked in the room and cut on the lights the roaches scattered. Walked into the bathroom and the floor was covered... More

The good news was that the price at check in was half of the rate I had booked the room at ($24.95). Everything else was bad news. I got whistled at by guys dressed in wife beaters drinking beer on the second floor balcony. I had a cold and was congested, but the room still smelled horrendous. They don't provide... More

We checked into the hotel and checked out 5 minutes later. It was horrible all the way around. The room was not only filthy, it stunk. We were lucky to get our money and get out!

OMG!!! The nastiest place I hav ever stepped into. Bugs everywhere, faucet in bathroom did not work, the tub has NEVER been scrubbed or cleaned. The toilet bowl is a dark brown, the water comes out a medium brown color. The dog poop smell as you walk down the stairs, the people yelling, the hole in the floor, the mattresses... More
