Honestly not much it was pretty basic

Absolutely filthy smell of smoking and cigarettes all around the facility.

Although I requested a handicap accessible room it wasn't bad the beds were comfortable it was quiet even during the day with there being three of us the double beds weren't exactly the best and I did try to request queen size

We were on the second floor even though requested to be on the first floor in a handicap accessible room there was also a visible patched gunshot holes however I did not feel unsafe especially the fence all around the property and cameras on the property I personally would just prefer not to see patched gunshot holes

Location was perfect

Booked this place on the fly. Flew from Shannon, Ireland via Boston. Smell of weed and urine in lobby. Large perspex window with a little slit to pass across my passport was a giveaway. Receptionist couldn't guarantee the safety of my suitcase in my room. She said, verbatim, "This is a motel, not a hotel". Room was grand, except for the door looked like it had been jimmyed. People strung out on narcotics hanging around outside. Cop cams across the street playing out opera music to pacify the area. Guy in petrol station beside it said the cops are all over that place every few nights. Called an uber, had booked into the Hilton in North Hills, didn't bother going near reception again, have stayed in hostels to 5 * hotels across 6 continents, my gut told me to make alternative arrangements. Never wrote a review like this ever before. Hilton wasn't much more cost wise. it was like going from really dodgy to the Shangri-la. Not a rant, just an honest observation and experience. Can't remember ever having to check out of anywhere before.... given nearly 30 years of travelling the globe.
