I stayed at this hotel several months ago & I would never stay here again if my life depended on it.
First, the room was beyond filthy. The walls & ceiling were yellow from age & neglect. The television barely got reception & looked as if it were at least 15 years old.
The sheets were stained so I had to ask the maid to change them. The shower had warm water at best & the drain was clogged so you had to shower quickly before the tub over-flowed.
The room had a nasty mold smell. Really really bad smell.
But what made my stay even worse was the fact that this hotel is in a very bad area. The first night, I walked to McDonalds which is next door. There were gang-like thugs hanging outside which scared me to death as I am a woman & travel on business alone. Several people begged me for money & one harrassed me so bad that I ran/walked very fast back to my room. The next night, I never left my room after dark. I'd rather starve than to go outside this hotel at night.
The staff was rude & unaccomodating when I complained about the horrible mold smell in the room.
And then on top of all of this, when I got home & checked my credit account, this hotel had charged me 250.00 for what they later told me was a smoking fee. Since I don't smoke, I was beyond upset. Their manager, Sharon refused to call me back but thankfully my bank took care of the fraudulent charges. I honestly believe that they charged me this fee because I complained so much about the mold smell & my overall dissatisfaction of my room.
I have never had such a crazy, nightmare of an experience with any hotel. I made sure to file several complaints with various agencies about this hotel because I would not want anyone to go through what I had to endure. The only reason I even chose this hotel was because of its non smoking policy, however I would rather stay in a hotel room that had previously been smoked in & gag all night from the stench than to ever give this hotel a penny more of my money.
