Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praised the hotel's convenient location, especially its proximity to the airport, highways, and local attractions. Some reviewers found the staff friendly and helpful, and a few mentioned comfortable beds and spacious rooms. However, the majority of feedback was negative, with widespread complaints about cleanliness, including dirty rooms, strong odors of smoke or marijuana, and lack of maintenance. Safety concerns were raised due to questionable people around the property and a generally unsafe feeling. Service was mixed, with some positive experiences but also reports of unhelpful or rude staff. Overall, while the location was a highlight, significant improvements are needed in cleanliness and safety.

Cons (-) Hard floors very dirty- didn't want to walk barefoot. Beds SO uncomfortable. Elevator and hallways smelly. VERY shady looking clientele- people who were clearly on drugs or homeless. One of the doors to the building didn't lock so anyone could walk in. Buildings located on property in such s way that people could easily hide. Did NOT feel safe walking around alone or at night. Safest place felt in...
