Disgusting
Stayed here one night for next day flight. The beds sheets had hair and looked unclean, there was food and wrappers under the edge of the bed, and the room key machine was broken so when we needed back in our room, staff had to let us in because we didn't get a room key. If zero starts we're an option, that would've been my rating.

I arrived at the hotel and the lobby looked fine. After that, it all went downhill. While going up the stairs, there was a bad of trash on the stairs. I did not see it as I was carrying luggage. I fell over the bag and was hurt. I then entered the room, and it was soooo dirty. The blanket on the bed had stains. I immediately left.

This was the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had in the U.S. The room was dirty—floors were not cleaned, and the pillows had yellow stains. The room was incredibly small and located near a busy road, so the constant noise from passing cars was impossible to ignore. Additionally, I could hear water running from faucets in other units, which made the stay even more uncomfortable. To make matters worse, the key machine wasn’t working, so every time we needed to enter our room, the receptionist had to come and unlock the door for us. This was inconvenient for everyone involved and added to an already frustrating stay. Overall, the hotel failed to meet basic standards of cleanliness, comfort, and functionality. I would not recommend staying here.

Noisy neighbors.
When. Check in to my room the people next to me were very loud disrupted so I called The front desk and complain they took care of it, but it didn’t stop them from making noise and waking me up so I called front desk and Ask them if I can get a different room they had no problem. They put me in another room quickly, nice and quiet and clean the police came and ran the others out.

Thy had construction work going on in the room next door. I had to listen to pounding for an entire day and well into the evening. It was after 8pm when the noise finally stopped. The lady at the front desk offered no sympathy or solution. All she had to say was "Well, we're in the middle of remodeling." I told her I should've been warned and offered an opportunity to refuse the room. She did offer an insincere "I'm sorry." Never again.
