This hotel was not cleaned and falling apart. Our room was disgusting and the hotel was not safe. There were homeless people in the lobby and using the bathrooms inside the hotel. We ended up getting a refund and going to a different hotel.

The house was wonderful - only issue was cleanliness. Several dead bugs on floor and dirty towels from last guest still hanging behind bathroom doors. Other than that everything was perfect!
