The room had recently been updated. The main door was too small for the opening and there were large gaps of daylight coming through all around the door. The lock did not lock without "jimming the door." There was a dirty sock that did not belong to us by the headboard of the bed. The noise from upstairs was unbearable to the point we couldn't sleep. People walking and stomping on the floor. The overall outside of the Hotel was dirty and people just loitering making us feel unsafe. I won't stay there again.

The room only had a siding door as its main entrance the door lock could have been broken into very easy. WE did not stay at this hotel at all. We paid for the first night of the stay, the manager refunded the next night stay back to Expedia for a refund to my Discover card.
