Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I generally trust reviews from others for hotel selections and was looking for a last-minute one-night stay for 2, close to the airport. Mid-range pricing. IMO other reviews and photos offer an Incorrect description of this property! We forfeited our entire cost of reservation and did NOT stay after the scary experience we encountered. Horrible location old decrepit property on a busy street in a very high crime area, Dirty throughout, and poor/no maintenance. NO staff around at the afternoon check-in, bad rude attitude when we did find someone, the room was dirty and very dated decor, cheap looking bed 2" mattress, and the minimal bedding rumpled and unclean, didn't feel safe entering blacked-out hallways upstairs to access the room, NO AC as advertised, did offer a fan? No parking. No hot water. Thanks to an unhappy guest who confirmed without any solicitation from us, as we were weighing our options, he whispered to us "This hotel is a very bad place". I concur with his assessment.

The place was very clean and the hosts very friendly and helpful. For the price it was about as expected. The neighborhood is very busy, but being near the airport was good. I would probably stay here again if I was by myself.
