Pretty bad but not he worst place
Not the very worst I've stayed at, but wouldn't stay there again. Found a cockroach crawling up the wall within a few minutes, the pillows were super thin, and there was an overall stench in the place.

Nasty
One word to describe this hotel, unclean. There was only one towel in the hotel room, asked for more, received a singular towel that had a suspicious red stain. We found a long hair found in the bathroom and the hallway smells like piss. I would rather sleep outside next time. If you hate someone, tell em to sleep here.

Stench of cigarette smoke in the hallways and stairwells. Room smelled like cigarette/smoke/fire or a bonfire was set every day with the windows closed.

Told the rooms on the second floor are cleaner and for the ‘good customers’. If this is cleaner I can’t imagine how horrible the first floor must be. The room smells. They handed me a spray air freshener which masks the stink for about 5 minutes.
The positives:
I think the sheets were clean and the air conditioner worked.
The lower price was not worth it.
