Was I at a different hotel?
After reading the other reviews for this hotel, I seem to think I had to be at a different hotel. I'm not racist at all, but as soon as we pulled up, we felt scared. There were numerous gangster looking guys throwing up gang signs right in front of the lobby and yelling stuff that included asking us if we needed any marijuana. We had already paid for the room so we decided to just go to our room and stay there for the night. The guy working the front desk was nice, but that is the only good thing I have to say. I don't like to judge but two females were hanging around in front of the lobby in very suggestive clothing. When we got to our room, we found out that the door did not even close all the way and we could hear the traffic in our room as if the road ran right next to the door. We asked for non smoking, but the room still smelled strongly of smoke. The shower didn't work either. This hotel was not visualy appealing inside or out. Maybe the most un- family friendly hotel I've ever been to. We decided we could not get a good nights sleep here so we ended up leasing and going to a Red Roof Inn in Monroe. I'm not sure how one person could say that this hotel was not "run down like a Red Roof Inn" as the RRI we stayed in was 100 times nicer with a much friendlier staff, all for the same price. I highly suggest not staying here and finding somewhere else.
