Upon arriving at this hotel, I became immediately concerned at the lack of cleanliness of the property. I was also overwhelmed by the smell of cigarettes and marijuana. The smell intensified when I walked into the building. The hotel claims that it is a non-smoking facility, but that is clearly not the case. My brother who has severe asthma began to react poorly to the smoking almost immediately. The entrance at the back was completely unmonitored and open (should be card-access only like the front entrance), and it was filthy. Our shoes were sticking to the floor. The smell was abominable. When I went to check-in, the man who was working barely spoke English and communicated mostly through hand gestures. The room key holders made of paper were being re-used guest after guest; they were dirty and wilty - another indicator of problems to come. Upon entering the rooms (we booked 2) we very quickly spotted how dingy and grimy this hotel and our rooms were. The curtains in both rooms were falling off the walls. Neither of the rooms were clean. In my parents' room, a previous guest left a towel hanging in the closet, and it was still there when they got to the room. My parents' bathroom also had not been cleaned, and the shower/tub was disgusting. There were also people screaming somewhere on the 2nd floor that we heard immediately upon getting off the elevator. We were in the hotel probably 20 minutes (between checking in, seeing the rooms, and checking out).
